What's the Point?

Or really more, where do they come from? We're staring down the barrel of a gun currently as our run of form has taken a dive from what looked like an early season slip up to an almost full blown catastrophe. Luckily for us the other teams around us, are, well frankly, shit. To stay up this season may be a case of being less shit than those around you. But where are we going to pick up points from, and what is going to stop me from committing suicide before the season ends? Lets look at the remaining fixtures and allude to what could be...

There are 8 must win games in the selections that I have made, I do not assume all will come true, but every single one of these must be played like it is our cup final for the year. Each of these teams is beatable, and only 2 of the games are away - Portsmouth, and Burnley (if there's ever to winnable away games you'd assume it's those). Winning all of these would almost certainly guarantee our safety with a grand total of 44 points (if we go down on that we beat our old record by 2). All of the blue games must also be seen as games that we get a result from, nick a point or possibly three here or there in these and we'll either offset the red games that we lose/draw, or improve our overall league position. And hell if we gets some points from the pinks too we'll be laughing.

The point I am trying to make is that the season is far from over, but we do need to act fast, at the very least starting at the pompey game (which I'll be at so they better fucking win), and Upton Park has to be a fortress for the rest of the year. So come one and come all, players stick your bloody fingers out, Managers don't be afraid to give them the hairdryer, and supporters let's turn Upton Park back into the fortress of old that it used to be, and make it truly uncomfortable for the away team to play there. No more whinging, let's get down to business.
