I said sometime ago that 34 made us safe. I now think we are very safe.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] 5 clear, 3 to play, we are safe

I think we are all assuming West Ham are going to get 3 points. They don't seem to get mentioned much on these threads. But who knows.

Isn't 34 points the lowest number anybody has ever survived with in the premier league? WBA.
I'm glad we have more than that.

Bookies odds of 40/1 reflect the reality of the huge improbability of Albion going down.
As the much shorter odds on Stains, Swansea and Hudd, reflect the deep shite they're in.

From whom do you assume those points will come against. Their 3 games are Leicester (a) United (h) and Everton (h)
Today you mean?
They're only 1-4 down at home, but could well come back for an unlikely 3 points.

Probably next week they will get the points they need

Your right, they don't seem to get much of a mention, but they should, they have a difficult run in, and are very far from safe.

Yep. West Ham GD is now 9 behind us.
So in short - all this needs to happen
- Albion lose all 3
WH need a minimum of 3 points from Leicester, Man Utd and Everton to overtake us. (Cos of GD)
saints need 5 out of 9
swans need 5 (cos of GD) out of 9
Hudds need 3 (cos of GD). Out of 9
And either Saints / Swans can only get max of 7 cos they are playing each other.
Still worried ?

A genuine question, would you rather be in our position or Hudd's?
Same question, us or Swansea's?

Chelsea have a game in hand over Liverpool (Huddersfield at Home), then play them at home next weekend. If Liverpool lose they will be leave on points when with Chelsea when they play us. Could well be anything but on the beach as Spurs have 3 relatively easy games coming up
I really don't want final day nerves

Don't quite get the Swansea/Southampton part. They can both overtake us if we lose all 3 (and even if we draw one), if the game between them is not a draw and the loser wins their other two games; not a massive likelihood but possible.

I'm not sure how any seasoned supporter of a team in our current position could not have at least a tiny doubt that things could go tits up over the final 3 games. Stranger things have happened than Saints winning a couple of games and after Man C and Liverpool our GD may not be looking so good. Having said this, I still think we'll be ok but to have no doubts is bordering on pathological optimism. Do these people never fear the worst?

I meant 3 points in their last 3 games.
2 points might be enough if we lose our 3 games badly.

It's just a case of likelihood as you said. Southampton have managed only 9 points in their last ten games, Swansea only 6 from ten, so the thought that they will both achieve 7 from 3 is unlikely to say the least.
