If you could guarantee me that we would win those four matches and not earn another point this season I'd bite your hand off without a moment's hesitation.

You would bit his hand off? How will you track him down to do that and even if you do track him down isnt it a bit extreme?

i have calculated that we still have to play 7 of the top 8 yet (except chelsea)

That must've taken you ages!

Did you only just look at the fixtures, because it's been that way for 9 months :facepalm:

Man Utd, Liverpool, Spuds come up against us in the last 4 games, they all have players going to the World cup that will want to avoid injury, the teams will probably have no chance of the title, will be safely in their European spots and just have much less to play for than us. I reckon there are some points in those 3 games for us.

TBH, I can see us getting points in the home games against top 8 teams, especially if we play like we did against West Ham.

IGNORE

All of them. Assume zero points from them

Look at the other matches. That's where the survival points will come from

I'm relishing the challenge and feeling a lot better after signing Locadia, Ulloa and beating Boro and West Ham. Bring it on!

I think 36 points will be enough to stay up this season as the other 9 teams also have to play each other. Some of the top teams have stumbled when away from home like Man Utd, so maybe we can nick an odd point or two.

What's the point in being scared?

It's getting exciting. I will desperately disappointed if we don't get 36 pts. But I don't think that will be enough?

36 pts if we get a 1-1 draw at Stoke or Burnley. Better to get the points against Stoke.

A game at a time and see what happens to the teams below us, if they play as they have done so far this season then who knows.

....and they play as poorly as West Ham.

....You might have to put Man City in that mix as well.

Burnley are running out of fuel now after a good start and play a similar style to us, Leicester are a good side and the type we do struggle against but they are inconsistent. Arsenal are defensively suspect as has been shown by teams with a bit of bite up front, Tottenham looked very ordinary against us and only really won because of a fluke driving them on. There is hope

Wow. Now there is optimism.
Burnley were still good enough to take a point off the best team in the league last weekend. Leicester do blow hot and cold but on their day are much better than us. Let me think about our history v Arsenal.....lets not! Tottenham didn't have to break sweat against us, when we had ten behind the ball and on the counter attack at the Amex could take us apart.
Its the hope that kills you........

Yes.
Wonder how noisy they are at the moment? Mind you, it could get a bit lively when Carvahal visits with Swansea.

And clackers.

We just took apart a West Ham side who have in recent weeks been beating their relegation rivals quite convincingly. We shouldn't fear any of our opponents and with a bit of luck could finish in the top ten.

As mentioned many of our rivals still have to play a lot of games against the 'top six' and we have a very tricky end to the season against teams who may have nothing to play for. In 25 years of Premier league history I've seen much worse sides make a late surge and escape from significantly poorer positions than we currently hold.

Would laugh if he went bat shit mental if Swansea score, massive fans would have a breakdown.

The worst that could happen is relegation......was the Championship that bad apart from winning a lot! For what its worth I think we are good enough to take points off the top 8 if we can convince ourselves we are good enough.

We didn’t get zero points from Burnley - we drew (and ought to have won).

I do hope that statement doesn't end up the post mortem for our season.
