No, but it would really boost confidence.
I hope we at least have a go

[Albion] If we beat Arsenal are we as good as safe?

If we beat Arsenal I'd say we would stay up as the confidence on and off the pitch would be so high.
Obviously we need to beat them first but on current form this is our best opportunity to nick points off the top six.

Back in the 2004/2005 season, we were in 15th place, 10 points clear of the third bottom team with 11 games to go. I remember thinking we were as good as safe. We stayed up on the last day of the season by drawing at home with Ipswich.
Now, I know that was the Championship, different teams, different circumstances, etc., etc., but, for me, it means it'll take more than three points on Sunday to even begin to think we might be safe.

No, just in case we don't beat anybody else.

Target has been 40 points since the start.

Of course, fewer than 40 -points may well keep us up this season, but 40 points as near as possible guarantees it.

I reckon 6 more points should do it.

We would still need some more points to be safe,my problem is I have a feeling Arsenal are going to come out with all guns blazing on Sunday,they have something to prove

Hopefully Arsenal are now focusing on their game in Milan on Thursday.

I hope we don't show them too much respect. Be wary but be confident and hope Arsenal aren't looking for somebody to take things out on.

No, not yet.
A win would be fantastic, a draw would be fine.
Still think we will need at least 38, but if we keep playing the way we have we should get those before long.
All about focus, staying strong and recognising we belong here now #together

I would be a lot happier with 40+. There are a few clubs well drilled in dragging themselves out of trouble.
As Sunderland and now West Brom are proving it's a drill that can't go on indefinitely.
Stoke have to be prime candidates for the next 'too big to go down' team, it's just a shame palace aren't a big club.

The Arse always seem to beat us. Time for a change on Sunday. A point would be a start.
