I reckon 32 - 34pts this season will do it. It's so tight there is 4pts between 10th and 18th.

That's what the commentators said on Saturday. They reckoned that there were so many clubs in the mix, it could even be 36 and goal difference.

I'd say you'd get good odds on survival with 32, but it could easily happen, look at the points distribution, it bodes well for a low number. However, this is Albion, we'll stay out of the relegation zone until the final day .... and then score in 90+4 to stay up!

The cut-off might be at least 40 this season.

No Villa or Sunderland to comportably grab a slot, then even (previously laughed at by NSC posters) Palace, Swansea, West Ham, Stoke and WBA have managed a recent win or more. Fighting for their PL lives.

For all of the doom mongers if you called Stoke, Southampton, West Brom & Swansea fans they'd swap with us in a heart beat, equally, I'm sure that there's a degree of nervousness with Watford, WHU, Bournemouth, Pilarse, Hudders and NUFC fans, we've just got to keep our nerve and the faith.

Not if the relegation teams - eight of them, are taking points off of each other.

Agreed, or, in a weeks time they may be even more keen to swap. My feeling is there are too many glass half empty fans, only a couple of games ago someone on the train was talking about how bad things are ....

In a great stadium,
In the Premier League,
With a superb Training Ground,
With a Chairman most clubs would love,
With a great fan base
With a new striker
With Piglet's Pies

It's not all bad, honest

No it isn't, I'm still positive and enjoying the games, glad to be going to the Saints game too. Too many fans just cannot stomach the tension. It was the same in the run-ins over the last 2 seasons. I think we'll do it, but its turning into an absolute bun fight with no one cut adrift and 6 pts separating 11 teams. The next 14 games are certainly not for the faint hearted!

Quick update on Palace after their draw last night. They are still only 1 point ahead, but this will change if they fail to beat Newcastle on Saturday. Big game for both of them. Interesting to note they haven't had a below par performance since 28th October.

And after tonight they are only 'expected' a single point in the 7 games before we visit. Plenty of (albeit tricky) opportunities for them to pull clear of the tracker.

This thread is brilliant

11 points from 15 in their last 5 games (including us)... they could be going right down to the wire.
