Beat Leeds on Sunday, and we're 12th at worst. Then we start looking at other key results: we'll have a better picture once those three behind us play their games in hand, but I'm thinking we'll be in the 9th/10/11th range. We need both Palace and Leicester to drop points somewhere if we're going to get 9th (and obviously Wolves to drop points twice if we want 8th). It's useful that Palace and Villa play each other Sunday - a draw would be ideal, but if either side wins we want it to be Villa (because if we win both our games, Villa can't catch us).

Don’t know the NSC laws about when to start these threads, but we’re currently 23 ahead of Southampton, who have 9 games to play. This means if we beat Spurs and they fail to beat City on Saturday, they mathematically can’t catch us.
Is it time to create the 22/23 thread therefore?

Looking forward to seeing the new thread (not added on to here - that would confuse everybody!)
Do you have enough orange felt tip pens?

TBH I'm a little nervous about the colour options. The standard options are different to the vbulletin ones...
The orange does look lovely if using the in black screen mode.
