They are all obviously tough games but you’d expect them to normally pock up a 1 or 3 in at least one of those. Maybe 4 points out of the lot. Teams rarely lose 7 on the bounce when you expect them too. But the way those teams are playing they might just do that. City away and Chelsea at home are arguably the best chance to do pick up points.

Please lose the lot you facking mugs

Even as we speak all the pearly kings and queens will be burying their collective heads in the sand and humming loudly whilst thinking 'I'm not listening, I'm really not listening'. Just think about them going down with all those contracts to honour and that nice new ground to fund.

Am I happy? I'm just going to the bathroom.

Agreed Bosscat. The point being madexwas it is the same for every team and you can never predict outcomes.
Our last 3,cafter the defeats...Leicester, Manchester United and Arsenal. Prediction by pundits, null point. Outcome after heroes rise to the occasions, 7 points....should have been 9.

Here's proof that Villa are in deep trouble - a quote from a fan on their own website.
Almost sad to say but we need him.

We badly miss McGinn & his dynamism. A physical CM/DM would’ve helped us but the window is over now and we seemed restricted in what we could do (bloody FFP!).

We’re too lightweight in the middle, I do admire Nakamba’s battling qualities but he can’t do it alone. Sooner we can get [this player] fit and in form, the better.

Luiz & Nakamba need a stable, calming influence around them. Who else do we have?
The man he is talking about? Danny Drinkwater. :D

They are in trouble.

Taking away games against the established big six, and aiming for 40 points as the standard guarantee of survival we get;

Brighton (14 points required, 24 to play for)
Watford
Sheffield United
Palace
Wolves
Norwich
Southampton
Newcastle
Burnley

Norwich (22 points required, 24 to play for)
Wolves
Sheffield United
Southampton
Everton
Brighton
Watford
West Ham
Burnley

West Ham (16 points required, 21 to play for)
Southampton
Wolves
Newcastle
Burnley
Norwich
Watford
Villa

Watford (17 points required, 21 to play for)
Brighton
Palace
Burnley
Southampton
norwich
Newcastle
West Ham

Aston Villa (15 points required, 18 to play for)
Southampton
Newcastle
Wolves
Palace
Everton
West Ham

Bournemouth (14 points required, 21 to play for)
Sheffield United
Burnley
Palace
Wolves
Newcastle
Southampton
Everton

I haven't bothered including Palace, Newcastle or Southampton as they only need 9 points to hit 40 (although Southampton have to play all of these teams so could easily get dragged back in to it), and of course you can pick up points against the top six, but these games listed are the ones that become must wins or six pointers assuming no bonus points earned at the top six.

So given the respective difficulty I think it's Norwich, Villa and Watford for the drop.

Noticeable difference between our fixtures and Villa is that we have to play Watford, Bournemouth and Brighton all at home whereas Villa have played these three twice already. Think they have played Norwich twice too.

WHU will do well to get 5/6 points from those 7 games which would put them on 29/30 points from 32 games. Then needing (say) 8/9 points from the remaining 6.
They do have a decent run-in to even things out: Watford, Villa at home (and us); Norwich, Newcastle (and Man U) away.
Those Norwich, Villa Watford games will test their mettle. See how their fans bear up- they have been known to get a bit bolshy when thing are going wrong.

If we go down from this position we will have had to have gone on a shocking run for the rest of the season and we will deserve to go down. Current form suggests we will have no issues and even if we embark on a run like we did previous to this current form it rarely lasts for more than 4 or 5 games. 3 wins required minimum. We only have 3 games left against the big 6..2 of those (City away and Liverpool away) you can write off..serious bonus if we get anything and Tottenham at home..winnable. Stop worrying peeps.

We aren't going down. We only need 2 wins and a draw from 13 games. That means we could lose 10!

We're now picking up form, playing well, and it's actually the other end of the table we should be looking at really. 4 points off 7th!

Arsenal and Man utd could lose to any of those teams, Chelsea and Spurs aren't dead carts to beat them all either, so discounting those games distorts those figures a bit.

West Ham often manage to get results you wouldn’t expect. While I doubt they will beat Liverpool I would never write them off against city or Chelsea. While Chelsea are probably exceeding expectations Both are very inconsistent. And I doubt city even care about the league now.

My point is about how we're 7 points clear and they don't have the best of chances of closing the gap in the next 7 games.

Looking at those fixture Norwich, West Ham and Watford have 3 games against fellow strugglers. They can't all win them all, yet to get to the safety mark one of them is going to have to.

You could see a scenario where one of them gets out of it, but not a cat in hells chance that they all will.

Im happy to concentrate on us, one game at a time

Our last 3 games are a pretty good reason not to predict results from fixture lists. Imagine, given our form before the Leicester game, how many rival fans had us in the bottom 3 by now!

It's too tough to call really.

I mean if you looked at our last 7 games then not many, if any would
have predicted us getting 7 points from those especially after we lost the first 4.

Everton 0-1 a
United 0-2 h
Villa 1-2 h
Chelsea 0-3 a
Leicester 2-1 h
United 2-0 a
Arsenal 0-0 h

So it is not impossible for West Ham to do the same or any of the other teams in trouble to do the same.
Not likely one hopes but some of their games are against each other but teams fighting for survival
do sometimes pull out unlikely results as we have over the last three.

I'm just happy we're 7 points clear.
And I do believe we're capable of getting 2 or 3 more wins and a few draws from our remaining
fixtures which should put us on 40 or more points and be enough to keep us ahead of the bottom three.

The difference between us West Ham and Watford is bottle. You need it in bucket loads at the back end of the season, and they look short.
