After the roaring success of my last attempt where i NAIVELY thought we weren't quite as **** as we've proven to be and Bournemouth have somehow basically guaranteed safety, I thought I'd post this again (mostly because it helps me see it without having to look at fixtures constantly!

I can only see one possible point if we get a lucky draw at Bournemouth. We are sh***. We were told by Middlesboro fans this would happen. It almost happened last season so in response to that wake-up-call we.....just carried on doing nothing differently!!! Does a Wooden Spoon" count as a trophy?
We can get points out of the Bournemouth, Spam and Spurs games - doesn’t mean we will.
Whilst the Leicester result was not great there were some positives from it - team just needs to be able to kick on from that.
Wober being fit and Sinisterra being fit could be key.
If we go down it should mean the end of Orta and Radz must surely sell up too. Fulham have shown you can bounce straight back as have Burnley
Imo, first 2 of those teams to win a game, will end up pulling clear. I don't think it will be us anymore, I have accepted relegation at this point.
Can't see us getting anything from any of the remaining fixtures. We're just not "with it", the team selections are even more bizarre than we saw under Marsch and injuries to key players make it even less likely that we can put out our strongest side (whatever that means).
Still of the opinion that the others below us have at least as hard a path to survival, so relegation isn't certain.
Just have to see how it pans out and allow yourself to be pleasantly surprised.
If we can shore up midfield and the back four it gives us half a chance. We just need the right players up front selected but Bournemouth will also be feeling the pressure too.
Think we could get something out of the Spam and Spuds games which is different to saying we will.
V Man City can only hope he rests Haaland, de Bruyne, Grealish and Rodri - otherwise Haaland may get close to scoring more goals that the premier league record in one game.
Think we are done points wise.
Leicester was our chance. It's hard to score when you are standing 4 feet in front of the goal with no defender on you and the ball on your foot. I'd give him another 5 chances to play in the prem from us. why play Gnonto, Perkins, Gyabi or Gray when we've done so well with our current squad.
Bmouth- looking tidy and organized and at home. a solid loss to lead us into the last games.
Citeh - playing to win league at home. Best we can hope for is mercy from Pep or the FA implementing a mercy rule
Castle - flying high. A beating to further pick us up
West Ham - out of danger and playing much looser. at home
Tottenham- new coach that will trying to prove his ability for a job elsewhere so he'll sic the dogs on us.
solid way to end our stay in prem. Lets hope it doesn't take us 16 years to get back.
