***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers, Molineux, Sat 25th April, 3pm - ***

It’s definitely looking like we are favourites to go down. Everton conceding late was a killer.

We’ll have Villa/Leeds then a 10-day break and Chelsea/Everton within 5 days of each other.

If we get to those last two needing 2 wins we are down. West Spam could easily have 40 points by then (albeit we’d have the Chelsea game in hand).

We therefore need a minimum of 3 or 4 points from Villa/Leeds and one of Spam or Forest to implode.

OR we need to win 3 out of the 4 remaining… (in which case it’s unlikely the others would do better)

gulp.

West Ham have 3 tricky fixtures - i feel our situation relies more on what they do here. Brentford away, who are chasing Europe - 0 points. Arsenal at home, who are going for the title - 0 points. Saudi Sportswashing Machine away in their last home game of the season (we know all about that) 0 points. We need that to happen while getting ourselves at least 2 points from Villa & Leeds to take it to the last day with us in front

Agreed.
I would say I am personally banking on West Ham running into some sort of issue/bad luck or few. They've had none since Xmas (bar a slight strain for Summerville). It's been pretty extraordinary, and there's a side of me that keeps saying as bad as we've been they've been lucky, and that will flip.

The next two games are tricky for West Ham ....that's our chance to flip the table and put the pressure on them.

Agreed. If we can somehow beat Villa we’re out of the last chance Saloon for a moment.

A bit more confident after that.., If they do get zero points from the next 3 then I think we could do it.

There is no chance West Ham get zero points from their next 3 games Brentford haven't won any of their last 6 Premier league games for starters, and only won one of their last 9 - against Burnley. They also tend to upset the Goons more than we do, and Saudi Sportswashing Machine are rubbish - it's complete straw clutching unfortunately....

It's almost like we're in straw clutching territory

It's 2 points difference - we need West Ham to drop points obviously but we hardly need to clutch at straws to the extent that they're going to lose 3 'tricky' fixtures on the bounce to catch them against teams all below West Ham in the form table....

Ok

Feel we need to match or preferably better Wham's result this weekend to still be in with a chance. Think we'll beat Leeds, lose as we always do at Chelsea then it'll come down to the final day v Everton.
