Reading fans will have convinced themselves they "looked safe" too

"Fulham have gone. Impossible for them to pull those results out".

But then they did. And no amount of "statistical unlikelihood" or "but we looked safe because we won a crucial game" could save Reading from the drop.

There is no one 'crucial game' (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 15, 23:29:41
- you are wrong, because those two games deny WBA and Sunderland points (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 15, 23:32:57
  - Not necessarily - because there's so many sides in the battle. (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 15, 23:35:08
    - that may be so, but it doesn't change the point that these games (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 15, 23:38:50
      - Even that depends on how Sunderland and Swansea fare in all their other games (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 15, 23:42:03
        
        By the way, do I think we'll lose to Sunderland? No way. It'll be either 0-0 or 1-0 (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 15, 23:47:05
        
        win next weekend and we look safe, lose and we look deep deep in the mire. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 15, 23:46:31
        
        We will not "look safe" on 32 points with the last 4 fixtures we have. (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 15, 23:48:01
        
        Hasn't been complacency (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Mar 15, 23:50:08
        
        32 points 7 above the drop zone... we would 'look' safe (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 15, 23:48:57
        
        1. Sunderland would still have 3 games in hand. 2. So Cardiff and Fulham have already (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 15, 23:51:35
        
        1. 3 games in hand, 2 of which are Man City and Liverpool away. Unlikely to yield anything (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Mar 15, 23:53:42
        
        1. Nothing is certain at this stage of the season. 2. Did you genuinely believe Fulham (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 15, 23:58:18
        
        I don't give a toss if it holds 'happy memories for them' (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Mar 16, 00:03:51
        
        Our record v Swansea is what gives me hope going there. We're their bogey team (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 16, 00:09:36
        
        nothing is certain... no **** sherlock. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 15, 23:59:01
        
        So then we wouldn't 'look safe', would we? :) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 16, 00:01:42
        
        Yes we can 'look safe' without actually being mathematicaly safe... (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 16, 00:06:06
        
        Why do stats from 6 years ago have any bearing on today? (n/m) (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Mar 16, 00:05:07
        
        Reading fans will have convinced themselves they "looked safe" too (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 16, 00:07:27
        
        Ok (n/m) (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Mar 16, 00:09:06
        
        are you ok? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tron, Mar 16, 00:05:00
        
        we would only need a few more points, and we have picked up points all season (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 15, 23:53:27
        
        Would be a big ask for the bottom three to overhaul that much of a gap (n/m) (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Mar 15, 23:50:49
        
        even with games in hand... Sunderland at least have 2 very tough ones (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 15, 23:51:42
    - oh no (n/m) (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 15, 23:37:46
  - Very much agree with this (n/m) (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Mar 15, 23:33:29
- oh no (n/m) (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 15, 23:32:52
