None of the pundits are talking about us in terms of relegation and the bookies have us at long odds to go down.

As far as I'm concerned this season is all about trying to match or improve on our highest ever finish in 13th place.

And I fancy this is the best defence the Albion have ever had in thier history.

Me and my son have a load of daft bets with each other which at one point left him owing me £4m and until recently us being evens, after an ill advised double or quits on my part.

I'm currently £1m up so in the pub yesterday as our result came in I offered him double or quits on us going down.

"Do you think I'm stupid Dad?".

There's about a 2% chance we will be relegated as things stand today. That about the same odds as Maggie Thatcher being on the next nifty pound note. It's about a 20% chance aliens will be proven in 2019.

We are safe as houses.

If aliens are proven to exist in 2019, it could be an opportunity to improve on our squad. A goal keeper with 4 arms.. A few too many beers

There's going to be an awful lot more interest in MANY of our players. Some WILL go. The teams which stay up/go down/get promoted is very relevant to the season now. The next hardest thing after staying up (which unless anything catastrophic happens) is going to be to keep as much of the squad as possible (stating the obvious). Everything is rosy right now so enjoy the ride!!

I can see it now. Whippet and Pigeon shit everywhere, lumps of coal and discarded beef dripping butties all over the seats, and the mess their horses leave when they park them up is truly awful....

Makes me shudder at the thought...

We have played Leeds at The Amex a few times, so I don't see the risk being that high
