Bored so thought I'd take a look at one of their forums, someone's come up with this finish.....be a cracking final day if it did happen.

Stoke lose to Bournemouth and Arsenal - 40 points - last game away Soton

Burnley draw with West Brom, lose to Bournemouth - 40 points - last game home to West Ham

West Ham lose to Spurs, draw with Liverpool - 40 points - last game away to Burnley

Watford lose away to Leicester, Everton and Chelsea - 40 points - last game home Citeh

Palace lose to Man City, draw with Hull - 39 points - last game away to Man U

Swansea beat Everton and Sunderland - 38 points - last game home to WBA

Hull beat Sunderland, draw at Palace - 38 points - last game home to Spurs

That'd be a dull old nil nil for us and West Ham on the last day

More corner-flag than goalmouth action, I reckon. Div 2, PNE away, all over again.

We weren't thinking that when Alex Bruce scored.

Possible, not probable, Dazzler.

I was having a chat with a Palace fan on Saturday who was still haunted by one of their relegations in the early 90's. They were 8 points clear of Oldham with 3 games to go but ended up being relegated on goal difference.

Fingers crossed we can get over the line on Saturday

"They were 8 points clear of Oldham with 3 games to go but ended up being relegated on goal difference." It's early in the morning so forgive my math, but is that possible?

Turfiteclaret · Post by **Turfiteclaret** » Wed May 03, 2017 7:46 am

Got it. Palace only got one point out of three and Oldham won them all. Now I'm worried!

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Wed May 03, 2017 7:49 am

Swansea beat Everton, unlikely.
Hull draw at Palace, unlikely.
Relegated teams (i.e. Sunderland) often pick up results after confirmation, losing to both Swansea and Hull, unlikely.

Walt · Post by **Walt** » Wed May 03, 2017 7:50 am

That would be interesting and bloody nervy.

However, I don't think Swansea will beat Everton so nowt to worry about in my opinion.

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Wed May 03, 2017 7:51 am

Btw, Burnley 99/1 to be relegated as it stands.

Palace had actually done a lap of honour at their last home game assuming they were safe as well. Details at link below

I think we'll draw our two home games, and have long thought that we'd win at Bournemouth. 44 points and no worries

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Wed May 03, 2017 8:30 am

Even if we lost the last three games, we'd not go down. One of Hull and Swansea might pick up points but not both. There are other teams below us, you know. Palace's run-in doesn't look too clever.

2 Bee Holed · Post by **2 Bee Holed** » Wed May 03, 2017 9:27 am

eerrrrm.

Swansea beat Everton?
Swansea might find Everton have something to say about that.
At the moment they have to go through all the Europa League qualification rounds.
If they can finish sixth they would qualify automatically.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Wed May 03, 2017 9:32 am

One thing is for sure that if Swansea beat Everton then its wide open again.

All we can do is make sure we get mathematically safe as soon as possible.

Burnley beat West Brom, we don't give a sh1te what anyone else does and have a party.

Sunderland have a massive part to play in this, I really hope now the deed is done they will come out and go for it.

Panic over - They were only five points clear with a similar goal difference. See the comparative tables:

fatboy47 · Post by **fatboy47** » Wed May 03, 2017 10:03 am

The sort of Wonga that's knocking about for each place up the league should mean we're in the market for the full 9 points and a place near the top ten...with a big stash of extra loot for the players that get us there.

Never mind this relegation cack.

ThinLizzy · Post by **ThinLizzy** » Wed May 03, 2017 10:10 am

Been thinking for a while now that the Hull v Spurs game could well be a decider for several clubs. Don't think we'll be in it though. Palace, Swansea, Hull and West Ham at the bottom. Spurs and Chelsea at the top. Still think Chelsea will mess up in at least one game.

summitclaret · Post by **summitclaret** » Wed May 03, 2017 10:30 am

Don't think Hull will go down. We need Swansea to not win aganst Everton. If they do win, hopefully we will have beaten WBA so will already be safe. However, there are some teams that might be in for a surprise. Watford have a very tough run in. West Ham also. I can't see the Hammers getting anymore points before the come to us. If Palace were to lose to Hull they too could be in big trouble

Exciting times as we could finish 8th to 18th over 3 games.

Woodleyclaret · Post by **Woodleyclaret** » Wed May 03, 2017 10:37 am

I want Hull down but would be over the moon if it was either Palace or WHU as a good alternative.

summitclaret · Post by **summitclaret** » Wed May 03, 2017 10:39 am

We need Hull to stay up as they hardly ever beat us. Swansea is the opposite.

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Wed May 03, 2017 12:08 pm

Don't mind Hull, easy to get to (for me at least), usually do OK against them and good away end. Much prefer them over Swansea staying up.

Woodleyclaret · Post by **Woodleyclaret** » Wed May 03, 2017 1:48 pm

Fair enough Simon.It's just down the M4 for me so that why Swansea againgst Hull which for us is a serious journey

Oh they will!

I wonder how long it will be before someone posts on here about the lack of new signings during the summer? How long before someone states that the board are useless and have no ambition?

you're all a set of belm-riders for this thread (apart from fatboy). I had relaxed, and now I'm worried again.

mybloodisclaret · Post by **mybloodisclaret** » Wed May 03, 2017 1:58 pm

Finish 8th? Haha that would be terrific, at 2 mil per place from bottom up that would give us 22 million more than Sunlan' and money to spend on two or three quality additions.

I'm sure we'll keep going for the points. I think we will get 7 from 9 and finish 10th.

Why are you worried?

Because you read something on a fans' forum?

I cant see the board buying anyone in the summer.....and appear to lack any ambition.

that's exactly right, Fidel, it's called cognitive dissonance.

Or a £20 bet on us to go down at 200/1 would no doubt have a similar cushioning effect?
