Quickest to be safe from relegation ? Can get to the magic 40 Wednesday

So basically we are fucked if we lose the next 25 games?

Goal difference might yet save us.

13/14 season makes for interesting reading. Just out of curiosity how many games played was that?

If you're talking about PL fixtures played by the third week in november, we beat Spurs 6-0 on November 24th. That was our 12th game.

Looking at that.

It suggests we would have to drop almost a point per game from now on, to finish on the same points as Pellegrini's team.

We will lose a game at some point. Like pep says the reaction is key. I think a defeat after the start we have had will piss us off immensely. I don't think losing a match will necessarily hurt us, but it will certainly make us better thereafter.

It will cause a meltdown on here, though ;-)

 

[Neville Kneville]

Chelsea's record breaking team drew 8 & lost one. Thats 19 points dropped.

So it would be 17 dropped in the next 25 games for us to match it.

Equivalent of 5 defeats & 2 draws in 25. Or 1 loss every 5 games, plus 2 draws.

Sorry I meant 2 draws to finish below it not to match it.

just not there or home to Spuds, want it to be a one-off against someone non-descript where it doesn't really matter.

If we don't lose to rags or Spurs there are not that many games left in the rest of the season where teams can realistically 'expect' us to drop many points. And then our rivals would still have to be almost perfect.

That doesn't mean we won't, but if we got through those two games in that situation, you would actually expect Pellegrini's team to win it from there, never mind this one.

We had the fourth highest possession recorded by opta today.

Never knew the highest was the infamous QPR game!!

I wouldn't say infamous, you'll never see anything like this again.

What's funnier is that if I recall correctly the 2nd and 3rd highest were both losses (Liverpool and United)

The trips to Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal. None of them will be easy.

For all the dominance the rags had since Premiership started they don't hold to many records do they?
