Friday will be good.....Friday night games usually are. Hope plenty stay for the lap of appreciation or whatever it’s called now, particularly after we’ve beaten United and guaranteed PL football next season.

We'll be fine by Saturday night as Southampton will lose at Everton and Bournemouth will beat Swansea.
We may even be partying on Friday night if we get a wonderful win.

Is the way it works.
A team that comes out not at the races, particularly against similar standard opposition, gets fans concerned or more ... leading to quiet worry / dismay.

Arsenal haven’t got an away point in 2018, wouldn’t rely on them last day at Huddersfield .
We need Atletico to knock Arsenal out this week.
A full strength Arsenal, who are normally flat track bullies at the end of recent seasons, should brush knackered Hudd aside.

On the other hand they did win 2-0 at AC Milan so they arn't complete away chumps.
I am not saying it is likely but it was not likely for us to lose top spot last season with 3 games to go and 7 points ahead. Being complacent right now is the worst thing we could do.

How about a draw?

With Huddersfield being beaten by their other opponents that would be sufficient for us to stay up.

Just to throw a spanner in the works.
Last three games to play. (based on three single goal wins or defeats)
Brighton LLL 37pts F32 A50 GD-18
Southampton DWD 37pts F36 A54 GD-18
West Ham DLD 37pts F43 A69 GD-26
Hudders LDD 37pts F27 A57 GD-30
Swansea DLW 37pts F28 A53 GD-25
Five teams on 37 points. We've got a gap of 12 goals over Hudds
Worst case is relegated on goals scored below Saints.

If we remain on 37 all that Huddersfield and West Ham need is one win to jump above us, and I wouldn't rule out Shampton and Swansea picking up two wins which will jump them above us. They will be fighting for their lives against teams who have nothing to play for. Anything can happen so 37 might not be good enough and it may be settled on the final day.

I can be complacent, as I'm not on the pitch. Chris Hughton won't allow the team to be complacent.

Saints are er, playing Swansea who are fighting for their life. And Man City who going by their sluggish performance today have clearly given up the ghost.
And swans are playing , as well as Saints, um , Stoke !

Just can't see West Ham, Swansea or Huddersfield getting any more points, and Southampton will really struggle at Everton and against Man City.
So I suspect the end of season table will look pretty much as it is now with Southampton overtaking Swansea.

Opinions - fine. But some are rash enough to tempt fate by saying we are definitely safe, absolutely, irrefutably and undeniably. They are wrong; we're not.
"Seven points clear with three to go - we are the champions!".................oh!
