I can't see us getting another point this season. Or next season at this rate. If we do not lose against Fulham we stay up so lets hope we get a point when we play them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 2 May, 2021 Share Posted 2 May, 2021 With Fulham's incredible run they're on, and managerial genius (according to some on here...) Big Sam on the charge at West Brom, it's just inevitable we're going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsland Red Posted 3 May, 2021 Share Posted 3 May, 2021 When this thread started we had 29 points. Currently, nearly three months later, none of the bottom three sides have reached 29 points ( or even 28 points ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allardyce's proud record of never being relegated now requires his side to win all four of their remaining games, beginning with a trip to Arsenal on Sunday, and hope the five teams outside the drop zone that they can still catch fail to win another match.

Super_Uwe Posted 10 May, 2021 Share Posted 10 May, 2021 So the Baggies are finally relegated! They put up a decent fight over the last couple of months but it was always a matter of time. We are ever so nearly there now. Fulham play Burnley tonight, they *could* afford a draw but would then have to win their final three games. One of which would be against us. Lose tonight and it's game over. Even if they draw or win tonight, as long as we match their result v Palace then we can finally put this weird old season to bed. Still utterly stacked in our favour, hopefully it will be resolved mathematically tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham also have to go to Old Trafford, which given Utd's current form will be hard to see them getting anything. Big game for Burnley tonight as well. Lose and Fulham are only 6 behind them. Think they'll get at least a point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whelk Posted 10 May, 2021 Share Posted 10 May, 2021 (edited) Most nervous night in my lifetime of supporting Saints.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 10 May, 2021 Share Posted 10 May, 2021 I was never worried about us going down, but only being the 17th best team in this division is worrying for next season, because we won't outspend anyone above us in the league this summer and if one of the teams coming up gets their transfers right we're in for a crappy season come August.

All the noises coming from the club seem to be that we’re desperately clinging to the ageing mediocrity that’s got us where we are. First Long, now Walcott and Bertrand. The future’s not looking much brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsaint1 Posted 10 May, 2021 Share Posted 10 May, 2021 Be interesting to see if any of the relegated sides hit the 29 point mark we had in December. Remember some on here saying we would need 40 points for safety. In all seriousness though, we're sitting 17th after being top some 20 games ago. This has to be a wakeup call to all at the club. Massive summer ahead where we need to strengthen right through the team, otherwise we're through the trap door. Hopefully we can get some investment/takeover over the line soon and help push us forward 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Kerplunk Posted 10 May, 2021 Share Posted 10 May, 2021 Players can either relax and play well or relax because they are now on their holidays and don’t really care where they finish. Be interesting to see what happens for the last four games. Our momentum is downwards, time to reverse it, sign some strong players, move the crap on and restart afresh with some hunger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant Posted 10 May, 2021 Share Posted 10 May, 2021 Team averaging 0.8 points per game in 'not going on a 4-match winning spree' shocker. Had somebody insisting to me on Saturday that Fulham had a good chance of winning the lot - and utterly convinced we'd not see another point. The bookies lengthening us to between 150/1 and 250/1 might have been a clue. Unacceptable second half of the season, but it's done now. Time to pick through this sorry mess of a squad; hopefully we can fashion something more coherent for 21-22. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
