No.

I think we will be absolutely fine, but declaring us to be safe after 9 games would be insanity.

No. I've just checked the history and no team has ever stayed up with eleven points.

I'm not sure how being 6 points clear after 9 games constitutes safety.

So you're saying not only are we safe, but we are record-breakers?

Indeed, but I genuinely wonder how many teams have been relegated from the top division after 11 points from their first 9 games? Can't be many. I remember Millwall going down after a great start but that was so long ago it was pre-Prem I think...

Carlisle won their first three games in the top flight, but were relegated by a country mile in the end.

We probably deserved to lose today and at Southampton. Got a silly penalty to get a draw at home to Fulham. Rode are luck a little bit against West Ham.


All in all, with these things considered, there is no way we are going down.

What an incredibly strange thread! No one is safe after this amount of games!

Yes, in fact I think promotion may be on the cards.

I think if I was a Manchester City, Liverpool or Chelsea fan I'd be feeling pretty relaxed about it by now.

We don't have any of the shit normally associated with teams facing the drop. We have stability, we carry a goal threat, we have good squad depth, we don't concede that many, we're tough to beat at home and we've won away today.
