Would be good.

We've beaten them every time we've played them in the top flight. We took our usual 6 points (or was it 4 back then?) off them in 1981-82 and sent them down - thus sealing our own death warrant for 1982-83 - without our usual 6 points off Wolves we were doomed! We're very good at ending teams'...

As would the next two matches after that ending as predicted!

Well, if you want to risk settling for 34 points now .......................... I don't! That might be enough, but I wouldn't want to gamble our PL survival on it. Besides, there's a club or two who are only 2 or 3 points ahead of us that I fancy trying to catch.

I wouldn't want to gamble on 34 points keeping us up. 5 more wins for me (although I'd be fairly confident that 4 would do). But .............. we're not scrambling for 17th.place any more, are we. Looking up - who can we catch?

Seven points ahead of schedule, and after Liverpool visit the Amex in January our next seven home matches are: Watford; Burnley; Huddersfield; Cardiff; Southampton; Bournemouth and Newcastle. I'm not suggesting we'll get 21 points from that lot, but every one of those games is winnable - surely...

Fourteen games for Hughton to save his job then! :lol:

Interesting stat - wonder if it will persist until the end of the season? Teams that look dead and buried quite often have a surge at some point which rescues them - Palace last season, for example.

Good effort - but looks as if we'll be leaving it to the last moment - 3 wins and a draw out of 4 in March, 2 and a draw in April. Looks like a pretty hair-raising season - bottom three until the late putsch. Let's hope we're not too down-hearted by then (or have sacked CH in a moment of panic).
