Burnley losing!

The glory of p16 is in reach!!!!

Burnley can save both us and themselves by beating Fulham next Monday - looks like I'll be cheering on The Dingles!

Think it's only once in the past 10 years that a team has needed 40 points to stay up.

Fulham have got:

Burnley (h)
Southampton (a)
Man U (a)
Newcastle (h)

If we didn't pick up a single point for the rest of the season, they'd need to win 3 of those to overtake us on goal difference. Whilst on paper Burnley, Southampton and the game against us are all winnable, they've only won 5 games all season. I can see Burnley doing a job on them.

If the game wasn't against us, I'd be confident. I have that down as a guaranteed loss so Fulham just have to win 2 out of the next 3 to stay up (assuming we don't pick up anything else for the rest of the season).

It's not beyond the realms of possibility, but as they've only won 5 all season I'd still be surprised if they win win 2/3.

You'd hope that we beat Sheffield Utd too, if not then part of me would say Fulham deserve to stay up over us

That’s assuming we don’t pick up any more points which means Fulham will be relegated if lose any of their remaining games.
