As it stands there are only 6 points between Southampton in 19th place and Everton in 9th place. It's gonna be tight!

2-0 Stoke - we are getting near doo doo now.

There's nothing between the bottom sides - we will HAVE to get something from the big six to survive
Arsenal (in 6th) started this round of fixtures closer to the bottom than the top of the league. Madness!

Can Arsenal at least get two more FFS

Huddersfield will finish below us. Shouldn't be cheering them on (not that it did any good anyway)
Where do you reckon Brighton will next win a game of PL football?

We have to win one of our next 4 games (not including Middlesborough.). If we don't, we are down. It's that simple. I think we could easily get another 6 points from those 4 games.
Play even half as good as we did for a lot of today and we’ll win 2/3 of the next 5.

That's good point. But the top eight teams are ones we want to get points against the bottom 12. Other than that, I'd be happy for any teams in the bottom 12 to draw against each other.
Stats and theories, but the Albion keep losing. One win in months = Boro.
Some, but I doubt most. Certainly not those who know anything about football.
Perhaps those knowledgable folk like your good self (NOT said sarcastically) kept quiet on the subject, when arrogant posts were writting off Palace, Swansea, WBA and Stoke?

Not sure 'easily' is the right word, but I agree. It's ALL about the next four games. We could win all four, especially given the (albeit small consolation) of an increased attacking threat today. But, if we get anything less than 3 points it's game over, surely?
I'm not even that knowledgeable, but bloody hell we've seen it all before. There's just a few points between the teams, it doesn't take long for things to change. Palace broke records at the start of the season, now they're a point off tenth. If any of the bottom teams put a few wins together they're suddenly sitting pretty.Well I know it happened, but I'm guessing it wasn't a lot of us. People have such short memories.

I always looked at squad quality and their creators/match winners at top flight level.
Palace had Zaha, Benteke, Townsend, Loftus-Cheek and Sako.
Stoke - the brilliant Joe Allen, Ramadan, Shaqiri and Crouch.
West Ham, the same.
The bigoted can hate some of the above, but they can win matches or create a win.
Accumulated over many PL transfer windows at great expense in fees/wages, giving them an huge advantage over Newcastle/Brighton/Hudd over the course of the full season.
