I'd love us to be safe by that game and for CH to take the game to Liverpool with an attacking line up. Stuff the potential thrashing, let's actually have a go against a top team away from home.

I don't know about glass half full, yours is positively overflowing.
I can see it is quite possible that we will win on Friday, in which case we are mathematically safe.
If we draw or lose, we are not out of it. There are two teams which can not catch us. four others would need to overtake us for us to go down, and that is still possible., Stranger things have happened.
We are likely safe now, but for a few weeks? absolutely not!

Silly old bat
There is a very slim chance all four teams could go on a wonderful streak to overtake us, and better our goal difference. Four teams who are far more likely to drop into the last remaining slot of teams who can't catch us.

Surely these are the games we looked forward to when we made it to the promised land last year. There are really no bigger games, look forward to it and enjoy. I think we'll lose comfortably, but put up a decent showing. I still reckon Hudders won't get another point.

Man Utd lost at home to West Brom. West fecking Brom. Anyone can beat them if they don't turn up.
Their major attacking tactic is to hump it forward to Lukaku. That's nothing Dunk and Duffy haven't dealt with dozens of times before.

...that are resting key players ahead of CL final.

As the last two games showed, I think Utd's defensive style suits us. Ultimately they have quality players that can score at any moment if they get it right -see they're game against the scum when they were 2-0 down with 20mins left.
But having said that, this is a game where we can get at them and if they don't click properly again we can definitely get something. We need to play as week as we did against Spurs though

I care not what they are doing it would be the perfect time for CH to show that he does actually have the nous to change things around and go for it rather than just trying not to lose. If we are safe it doesn't matter a toss if we lose 10-0 but at least let the travelling fans see what we have got when not playing with too much respect for the opposition. The idea that we'd play "not to lose" when we are safe is negative in the extreme.and would show CH up as a manager unable to deviate from his safety first tactics, not a great advert for advancing in this league.
Come on [MENTION=24867]chaileyjem[/MENTION] tell me how I have got this wrong by a full on defence of CH, possibly, not being willing to go toe to toe with a top six team even though we are safe.
Why, oh why. We're safe, not mathematically but we're safe. Relax, enjoy, grab a beer and enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend, regardless of the result

PS: We've conceded fewer goals than Arsenal this season. .

I think it's more likely CH would give a run-out to some of the "lesser" players or youth guys. Assuming we're safe by then he little to gain by winning.

That is because we defend for 90% of most away games and show no ambition at all going forward ...mostly. Arsenal tend to work on the "we'll score more goals than you " principle so of course they have conceded more than us, they have also scored a shitload more too. Anyway we cannot compare ourselves to Arsenal and CH's tactics have kept us up, if we do indeed stay up, so he has done a brilliant job. If we are safe at Anfield let's see some ambition going forward..PLEASE>

We'll see, I hope
So let's not go for a win then? You have embraced the philosophy of our away tactics completely

Meadoid, a nickname that I hope takes off, is in town for his second home game of the season on Friday, halving the cost of my season ticket. We won the other game, so I am expecting victory for the £200-odd I've effectively paid on each occasion. As well as an octagonal pie, with dwarf gizzards at its heart.
