If Sunderland play like that til the end of the season they will be fine. WBA are shite, Palace under Pulis are a really good side so will stay up.

Heart fully agrees.

Head says...where are the goals going to come from? If you can answer that then I'm with you all the way. :ole: :ayatollah: :thumbup:

Agreed.

It's gonna take nothing short of a miracle for us to stay up.

Norwich have been pretty garbage since mid December and their GD kinda shows that but the Tottenham result was an absolute gift. Chris Hughton just looks a bit hapless to me. 2 wins would put you joint with them and I think they are more likely to be caught over Palace. Their 7 'easier' games (Villa, Stoke, Southampton, Sunderland, Swansea, WBA and Fulham) will undoubtedly determine their fate before their grim run-in. They will need 3 wins minimum... and they have gotten off to a great start by losing 4-1 to Villa so you may be in luck. Relegation for them says I.

Palace's are in the shit mainly because of Hollowhead. Under Pulis they've played 15, Won 6, Drawn 2 and Lost 7 - 20pts. Look at the sides they have lost to under Pulis... Norwich, Newcastle, Tottenham, Man Utd, Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea - With the exception of Norwich, that list shows you need to be pretty damn good side to take 3 points from them. I've watched them a whole lot this season, I don't think Delaney knows he's allowed to pass the ball along the floor - their sole tactic is to sit back and hoof it forward to Chamakh, who is a pretty tidy player. Jedinak and Ward are class. They usually have problems at left back. Bolasie is fun to watch, works hard and can run rings around defenders but he can't cross a ball to save his life. Murray and Chamakh together would suit their hoof ball down to the ground. They don't score many but don't concede too many either. Probably safe me thinks.

Drawing games isn't going to save you in any league. Wins are what matter and West Brom don't win enough. They are almost the opposite of Palace - They pick up a point here and there from the top sides like Chelsea, Everton and Liverpool in recent weeks - and then give 3 points to the sides around them like Villa and Palace. They do score goals and have a pretty decent defence, but their inability to win games may come back to bone them in the butt.

Look at West Ham, out of nowhere 4 wins on the bounce. More half time Tan team talks and you never know.. ;)

We can't catch them because we don't score goals, we let to many goals in, and generally we are not as good as those 3 teams, so we won't catch any of them I'm afraid :ayatollah: :old: :ayatollah:

We have 2 chances fat chance and no chance,we will need to at least take 8 points from the next 4 games and hope the 5 teams above us lose all 4 games which isn't going to happen because they play each other.
