The fact is, if it remains this way with Burnley, provided we beat them on the last day, which I hope we still intend to do, there's essentially just 1 point between us. That's just a fact. Whether we will pick up 1 more point than them before the last day remains to be seen, but that's not the point. The point is, this isn't exactly insurmountable. I don't understand ? - you are factoring in that west ham get Zero points against Norwich and Watford ? Have you seen Norwich play ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Knowing the cruelty we've had to endure, wouldn't surpise me if we climbed out of the bottom of three to allow us to taste freedom, only to be then relegated on the final day of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in that sense it is in our own hands ! But can we rustle 3 wins ? !!!!!! Doubtful ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant we have to beat West Ham on the last day, and before that time, we have to get 1 more point than them to finish above them. Given their fixtures and ours, it's not exactly easy, but it's also not exactly insurmountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course only ever relevant if you win said game. We play a United team who look like they'd blow anyone away right now. I could roll out hypothetical scenarios too. We lose tomorrow. West Ham beat Norwich ( both fairly probable ) West Ham Watford draw. That last game might not be as significant as you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Never thought I'd see the day when Sheffield United and Wolves have DOUBLE the points we have close to the end of a season. Thats depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team who has 4 more points than the other team despite game in hands. Don't quote me on that though. Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
