Whats different about his fitness than Baldocks but his goal scoring at this level is better. and he is 1 year younger than Sam. He is only 28 so not old.

Great result! Will absolutely love it if they do go down and we stay up. Horrible club, horrible fans. I can safely say that would be the greatest season in my 30 plus years of watching football by a long, long way.
I did predict this for Southampton at the end of last season though so can’t say I’m surprised.

Yeah, we played well against Leicester, and deserved more, we were pony against Udders, and got a draw. Both Southampton and Stoke played better than us and yet, we finish the weekend one point better off than both of them. So, collapse may be the wrong word, but, they will both find it very hard if not impossible to catch us. Remember last season when a considerable amount of our support were convinced Udders would catch us, but, as history shows, they folded when the chips were down. I’m not even sure we will need anymore points to be safe.

Baldock is probably going anyway isn’t he but I would certainly hope we’re looking at better players than that tosser/crock. His fitness record actually makes Baldock look the peak of physicality! Plus Austin is a big lad and will struggle more and more as he gets older carrying that bulk around.

A decent argument proposed there, but the chances are that we won't lose all of them.
Local derbies often seem to end up in close games and consequently draws with too much parochial bragging rights at stake for all concerned.
Palace certainly can't afford to lose it, Hughton would probably take a point there. And often more interest with going-ons off the pitch than on it.
Think we'll be good for a draw at Palace and eke out a point against Spurs at home, who were run very close by Stoke yesterday, and/or United.
37-38 points finish and 3-4 clear of the line.

Vokes broke the record yesterday for the quickest goal after coming on as a sub 34 secs I think Charlie Austins must be near that.
IF we lost at Palace, do you see us getting a point elsewhere?
The PL / form tables don’t lie and all those teams are far better than us at present.
(Not said gloomily. Despite finishing with LLDLLLLLL we could well stay up!),

Which one
Injured. He's always injured.
Spot on. Really struggling to see where Saints are going to pick up min 7 points and Stoke 9, without worrying about Hudds and poss West Ham too. Think Palace and probably Swansea will be safe with their remaining games. Current bottom 3 for me, with Hudds closest to replacing one of them if Saints or Stoke somehow get 2 or 3 wins.

I honestly do. Stoke almost got a point yesterday at home to Spurs, Southampton lost by the odd goal today...even West Brom picked up a point!
Maybe the glass is more than half full, but, sloppy backpasses aside, we're hard to beat and so pick up the odd point here and there.
We've created good chances to win both of the last 2 games and a return of just a point was below the 3-4 expected from the NSC poll.
I think we'll do a job on one of the top 5 that will get us at least a point with a good team display along with getting the rub of the green on the day.
On another point, it's interesting to see how few people wanted Southampton to win today...a win that would have put Palace in the bottom 3.
Even local rivalries play second fiddle to survival!
On that last point, it’s simply wanting everyone below us to not close the gap, especially with our nightmare final fixtures.
If we were on 40 plus points, everyone would want results to conspire against Palace.

To be honest I rather Arsenal over Saints any day, relegation rivals or not. However don’t think I’m a closet Gooner, I really really dislike them

Almost is not good enough in their positions. it is results that they need, which I dont think that they will get.
I think the 6 losses are very possible based on our poor travelling, opponents and iffy form; but we should still stay up.

West Ham have a tough run in as well, Stoke, Man City, Man Utd, and Everton at home, Leicester and Arsenal away. They aren’t that great at home, and are two points, as it stands behind us at the moment, but, the fretters on here aren’t even suggesting they are in a with a of being relegated.
Sorry it just isn't going to happen.
