The table does show how well we did first half - ahead of Burnley who hadn't lost in yonks, 3 pts behind Palace who have been on stonking form, 1 pt behind the darlings at Newcastle.
Form, class etc
Cardiff? good God, if either of us fall behind Cardiff then we really shouldn't be wasting the premier league's time.
As is always the case, home fixtures will decide what happens.
Our home fixtures:
Huddersfield, Cardiff, Southampton, Bournemouth, Newcastle, Man City
Cardiff's home...
I think if you can decide we're safe after today's game, you could have decided we were safe before the season started. Everything was there, the team, the manager, the signings, the set-up, and the results so far are simply bearing this out. Continue in this vein, we are safe, yes.
