Well even if we have an absolute disaster and everything goes wrong combined with saints winning 3 in a row . We still travel to anfield with a chance of survival .

Most people would of ripped your arm or for that at the start of the season .

Is everyone forgetting that other teams have less points than us too?

We'll be fine they can't all win!

(Said that with no confidence whatsoever)
Some only need one win to overtake us. Yes, we are in a better position that the clubs below us, but it isn't all over yet.

They will almost certainly lose their last game (v Man City)
No game against City is easy, but can you think of a better time to be playing them? Their season will be over, they'll have lifted the trophy in front of their fans, played their last game at home, and they'll be thinking about the World Cup. If SCC need a draw in that game, at home, I wouldn't bet against it.

which means it's highly likely one of the two wins people are worried about will come against Swansea. And Swansea play Man City and Chelsea next. So it's quite possible that Swansea could go into their last game still 3 points adrift of us (even if we don't get another point). It would then be all down to GD....
Swansea also play Bournemouth, and then their last game will be at home to already relegated Stoke. Christ I hope our survival doesn't depend on Swansea ****ing it up.

Have a Horlicks, chill a bit and go to sleep. It WILL help, honestly.

Because, on the whole, the Premier League is not all that.

And there we have it. An entirely sensible and rational post on NSC.

If we’re brutally honest we’ve spent tens of millions this season just to compete with Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Swansea and a Palace side spearheaded by a striker that can’t score, coached by a senile transsexual and wholly reliant on an Olympic diver.

The quality this season has been tragic at our end of the table. Meanwhile, the likes of Pogba and Ozil go about disappointing everyone from their own entitled fans to the overpaid “pundits” who eat up their mistakes like a Weather Girl in Burger King.

Woohoo.

If Stoke win one, and Swansea don't win any - that last game will be a belter.

This, makes me laugh that a lot on here think it's either us or Southampton.
I don't think anyone thinks that. It's simply the case that our best chance of survival is for Southampton and Stoke to fail. If Southampton go on a run and stay up, it may well be at the expense of Swansea or Huddersfield, but it could also be at our expense.

Obviously we're in a good position, but we want to start celebrating and looking forward to the summer transfer window and another season in the PL, but the pessimists among us can't do that yet.

Despite the way it's coming across in my furious posts, I'm totally chilled. What I'm not, however, is jumping around celebrating, and that's what I want to be doing :)

Depends whether Citeh think Southampton have been in this division long enough to qualify for 'Old Boys' rules' - they'll certainly approach their game with us as 'Newbies needing to be put in their place'.
Expect no favours between now and the end of the season!

Southampton are never going to beat City at home. If that's a given they then need to win their other three fixtures to overtake Albion.
