Swansea may stay up as a result

Sat Apr 15, 2017 10:46 pm

Swansea may stay up as a result of the inadequacies or incompetence of others, but don't look equipped to drag themselves clear of the drop

I think they may well pinch it with 36 points and Hull with 35 points. They will beat Stoke and Sunderland and a few draws on their way to safety . Who knows with football!

Hull will get at least 6 points from their fixtures, that means Swansea need to get 9 points Rom their final fixtures. I just can't see where they could pick up 9 points in their remaining fixtures.

In the last five games the jacks have lost to hull bournemouth west ham and watford, and only managed a draw at home to boro, all teams that are threatened by relegation, I can't see them picking up the points they need their next three games they play an inform stoke, man u then everton, they could be down by the time they play sunderland :lol:

They are down, Hull will get two wins and a draw from their games.

That would be the ideal outcome as it would kick the Gypos in the teeth and wouldn't we receive an extra payment from the Marshall transfer?

Not a chance thy are beating Stoke who are asylum superior team to them then the next two games v Manure and Everton both losses again. Fancy Hull to get at least 4 points from Sunderland and Watford at home meaning with 2 games left they would be 6 points behind Hull or in other words the Jacks are fucked :ayatollah:

The jacks are a very lucky team.
This season they have picked up at least 10 points against the run of play.
So I think they will get out of it (but I hope not).
Hopefully their 3 main players are talking to their agents about moves away. Can't see Fabianski, Siggurdsson or Llorente, being there next season.
Whichever division they are in .

Hull are good at Home and have Watford and Sunderland at home ???

That at least six points, Swansea are shit away and poor at home, it looks like Hull have the advantage to me, the biggest thing in Swanseas favour is Lorente, he can be a handful from crosses, but he looks out of form, and struggling with fitness.

I would say Hull will pull away four points clear of Swansea at least by the end of the season...

Re: Swansea may stay up as a result

Huge day next Saturday. Hull 2.0 with the bookies against Watford and the Jacks 2.3 against Stoke.

My fiver will be on a Hull win and Swansea draw double (6/1). That would make it 4 points with 4 to play, with the next two against Man u and Everton, so zero points in my book.
Hull are away to SOTON and home to Sunderland so they could be 7 points in front of the jacks, with two to play !!!!!

Saturday is huge

What on Gods earth does that even mean? Picked up 10 points against the run of play? :lol:

Ashley Williams will probably put them on the brink. These things seem to happen in football.

Tony, they would and we would (£2m I think) :thumbup:

What a day that would be for us as a club and fans! LOL :laughing6: :ayatollah:

Re: Swansea may stay up as a result

Mon Apr 17, 2017 7:40 am

Can you really see us getting £2m and the Jacks getting relegated ?
That would be one hell of a double,unfortunately Cardiff City and our fans are not that lucky(not like the Jacks)
But I agree this Saturday is vital, and the picture could be a lot more clearer by then.
Clements has said its a must win game (Stoke) now I think the pressure is building and his (Clements) body language was very telling after the Watford game.
Its nice at the end of the season , when we have nothing to play for only pride , to watch them down west struggle, Karma is a wonderful thing.
When we got relegated the Jack fans everyone of them revelled in it.
But as I stated earlier, they are a lucky team and they will get out of it.
But I'm enjoying it at the moment ;)

Re: Swansea may stay up as a result

On a side note hopefully they pick only 1 point at most so they get relegated with less points than we did.

Re: Swansea may stay up as a result

Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:15 am

lucky side? :?

''Clements'' :?

Jesus :shock: :lol:

Why not? :thumbup: :D

In all seriousness, there is still lots to play for but I believe only the current bottom four will share the three places up for grabs this season

Sunderland and Middlesbrough look all but doomed and Hull appear to have the better run-in, if only for their 'home' form and their obviously capable manager

Swansea have (until now at least) been a team capable of digging out a result when needed and I think they may well spring a surprise or two over the remaining games

Will it be enough?

Only time will tell, but there will have to be a massive turnaround of current form and it's hard to play against opposing teams (most of whom still have something to play for) with only two 'influential' players in their team! :ayatollah:
