Am I missing something here....
I think that looking at Huddersfield run in they could easily come out with no additional points leaving them on 35. There is also a great chance that they will get tonked a few times affecting their goal difference.
As long as we don't get murdered at Liverpool and win the last two leaving us at around -30 we can stay up on GD!
If Carlsberg made last game escapes.....

We need to win every game. It's the only way to be sure.

Even if we win all 3, we need results to go our way - I'm just hoping Liverpool will rest the big guns for the Champions League for us to even have a glimmer of hope to be honest...
Unfortunately, we cant beat our own meat at the moment - Its a matter of when rather than if.

You'd fancy Huddersfield to get a point at least at home to Everton.
Last weekend effectively sealed our fate with them winning two points in the last minute against Watford and us losing two at West Ham.

When you look at the leads we've messed up and the games he had when he first came in, he really has made a mess of this.

Swapping places with Swansea is our only hope, as I see it. I feel we're already down but it could go to the final game, winner stays up.

If we won three games it's highly probable we would stay up.
Stoke have never ever win a top flight game at Anfield,must be over 50 games now.
Ok they will put out a weakened side.
Even so you would fancy them to score.
Last time we scored two away?
Was it Man City?
I'm happy that Lambert has got the side playing with full commitment but just can't see how we win on Saturday.
With a lot of luck we might draw.
That would take it to the Palace game.
Which we would have to win.
Then we would have to win at Swansea.
It's not worth thinking about, it's too much.

For crying out loud.
We're gone. We can't beat Watford and Brighton at home, and were mullered for 45 minutes yesterday at home to bloody Burnley.
We are the worst team in the division. We deserve to go down.

We're the early kick off against Palace so it could be without Swansea kicking a ball that day. But if we won imagine the pressure it will put on Swansea? We couldn't could we.............??  |

We've won six all season.
We've only won one in twelve under Lambert, essentially a third of the season.
We would have to win all three when we've shown we're incapable of winning.
I don't think Swansea and Hudds will fail to pick up a single point over their remaining games.
We've never won away at Liverpool in a top flight league game.
We're toast, stop looking for hope where there is none! It's cruel!

We're down, we aren't staying up and the sooner it's confirmed the better so we can relax.

We deserve to go down. Spot on, Burnley aren't even that much of an attacking threat and we let them dominate us I dread to think how we'll deal with palaces attacking threat in Zaha, Townsend and Benteke. It will be sods law that Benteke will score and Zaha will con the ref for a penalty. |

We are down but to pile pressure on to our opposition and to take things to the last game of the season, we simply have to win at Anfield on Saturday and follow that up with victory at home to Palace.
7 points would put us on 36 and I don't think that will be enough. 6 points definitely won't be enough given our goal difference.
3 wins to put us on 38 and we survive with a last day of the season win at Swansea.
We have to go to Anfield and win. We won't do it, but we have to.
EDIT - we also need their game against Roma on Tuesday to be really close and very much in the balance. 1-1 or even 1-2 would be brilliant and would surely leave them resting all and sundry for our game on Saturday.

If we were to get to 36 points, our goal difference would be at least -31 (with a draw at Anfield and two 1-0 wins). Huddersfield are currently on -27 and if they lose their last four (or pick up one point) then it's highly likely we'd finish with a better goal difference. They have Everton (H), Man City (A), Chelsea (A) and Arsenal (H). That GD could be wiped out at the Etihad! |

We could beat Liverpool 3-0 and I'd have no faith in us to beat Palace the following week.
If we won both we'd only go and bottle it at Swansea.
Dead and fucking buried.

Sod's Law says of course, that we will beat the Dippers only then to flounder 0 - 1 at home to Owl face's Palace after a Zaha 9.3 triple back pike in the penalty area.
Edit:
Great minds Basford

You saw it in the players faces at the end of the match. They know we are down.
We can't score more than one goal and we can't defend. I thought the doom merchants were off their heads when they predicted not winning again this season but I now think they have 'second sight'.

If Southampton beat Bournemouth at home on Saturday then the game on Tuesday 8th Swansea vs Southampton is massive for us. That could be the day we get relegated without us even playing.
