In a thread last year there was some discussion about teams at the bottom catching teams higher up at roughly a point a game. That is, if there were more points than games left between us and other teams - then we would pretty much be safe. If we took that principle again (and it's a pretty reasonable one), then Huddersfield are already going to finish below us, and draw with Fulham next match up, then there's only one more team to pull ahead of!

Sky just pointed out that only one team in PL history in Fulham’s position just now, WBA, stayed up.

Looking gloomy for Fulham and Hudd.

Fulham go down then we should put in a 30 million bid for Ryan Sessegnon

Hmm. They spent a fortune after promotion so depending on how sensible they were with contracts they could be in some serious bother if/when they go down.

Probably not in a position to play hardball on transfer fees in any case.

I'm not advocating a £30m bid btw. Just saying.

Half of what we first offered, on a take it or leave it basis, then walk away.

True, but the chairman seems the sensible type.

Plus the players brought in would be easy to sell.

This made me chuckle; James Milner was given a red card by his former PE teacher!
