It's official.
There is a group 'threatened' by relegation and we are in it.
West Ham in 14th with 15 points.
Everton in 15th with 11 points.
Sky + red tops will be able to patronise us as 'plucky' every time we gain a point.

By that reasoning, every team below Liverpool is an "also ran" on account of the 8-point gap they have over 2nd place.
You might be right of course - we've probably left our title push a little late. |  | | |

It'll probably come down to the away game at Anfield, at this rate. [Post edited 26 Nov 2024 9:08]

We've won 2 of our last 3 matches there, haven't we? Piece of cake. |  | | |

And we only have 26 games left to bridge that gap! Panic! | | | |

You're probably right there. Roll on Jan 25th. | | | |

I guess the reality is, that we have to believe that Southampton will stay in the bottom 3, and then we have to get/stay above at least 2 of Crystal Palace, Leicester, Everton & Wolves. Done. | | | |

I shouldn't get involved, but I think the points tally for staying up is going to be higher than recent years. Bar Southampton, it suddenly looks competitive - 45 points to stay up? |  |

It must be on just about everyone's wish-list for Leicester and Everton to go down. Ideally, Man City would complete the list but I think we'll have to make do with Southampton instead.
I suspect playing both Everton and Leicester as our last two away matches of the season will put us well clear of them. | | | |

Everton; the second best team we have seen at Portman Road this season. We may have to look elsewhere for relegation candidates. | | | |

Leicester seem the obvious one to get dragged in |  |

Feck, that's a bit concerning. What with you being the biggest expert in relegation on the forum.. |  | | |

That's a pretty amazing stat given that we haven't won any of our last 6 games at Portman Road! |  | | |

You think the points total required to stay up will be higher than in any 20-team Premier League season in history? When more than a quarter of the league has less than one point per game, almost a third of the way through the season?
No. | | | |

Does anyone think that Bournemouth will get dragged down into the relegation battle later on? | | | |

Yeap, astounding news and difficult to accept, but unfortunately, that's what will happen. | |

I kind of like Everton. They’re not Liverpool, for starters. |  | | |
