Whoosh!

[TaxDodger]

3 nil nil draws will be just fine.

The issue with that is that we'd be one Watford or West Ham goal away from doom going into the late stages of the game, which I'm not sure I could bare. Perhaps I'm being arrogant following the euphoria of last night, but I want this to be pretty much done by half time, whether that be down to us comfortably beating West Ham or, probably more likely, Arsenal and Everton both winning their games.

Whoosh!

For the sake of TV all the kick offs should be staggered in alphabetical order.

Apologies if this has been asked already, but how are league places decided if points are level?  I assume it's goal difference first, then is it goals scored?  If so, and we beat West Ham 1-0 for example, I think that means Watford have to win 3-0 to go above us and stay up?

[cdbearsfan]

Correct on all fronts.

That's correct. Goal difference, then goals scored if GD is the same. In effect we have a +2 on Watford.

[Exeter 77]

The  tie break rules are:
1 - Goal difference
2 - Goals Scored
3 - Head-To-Head
4 - Play-Off

I've spent the entirety of restart being calmly 'guided by the maths', we've never been adrift, always tantalisingly within safety, those around us largely as calamitous as ourselves. But now we've finally dragged ourselves out of the bottom three, I'm terrified! I really need manure to batter the spammers tonight, sufficiently so that it's in our own hands, however unlikely that remains. I honestly don't think I'll be able to watch us on Sunday, I'll have to watch Bournemouth and Watford instead.

Thanks JD!  I can now relax nowing that as we stroll imperiously to a 3-0 win at Wet Spam, we should be OK!

Thank God it won't go to Head to Head!!!

West Ham are surely out of the equation completely whatever happens?  They've got a +13 goal goal difference on us, so would need to lose 7-0 to Man U, then 3-0 to us.  Even then, they've scored more goals than us, so we'd actually need 4.

[JUAN PABLO]

blimey that last minute goal against Watford was bloody massive
