My brother in law is a Hull fan, so we talk about relegation struggles a lot.

After the QPR match, I was feeling pretty downhearted.

He made s good point about the match, which was 'two teams battling and fighting to avoid relegation. We can't summon up anywhere near that spirit and fight ".

Which struck me as something to be positive about. We are at least showing spirit and bottle, something we clearly lacked in the later Lambert period.

I work with a Hull fan and he's completely oblivious to how much shit they're in.

After today's results I think Burnley and QPR are going to escape and QPR were shocking on Tuesday.

I listened to the Saints v Hull game and the commentators are convinced Hull are going they are so bad.

Hulls biggest problem is their run in from Hell!

Well we've done ourselves a massive favour there.  Delighted to say that Albion could now be in real trouble with their run-in.

Little bit of breathing space. Hope Arsenal and Chelsea can do the business.

Big step towards safety today. Hopefully Burnley and QPR will lose too.

Sadly they're already out of reach of Leicester, Hull and Sunderland.

Looking at the fixtures, it's good to see so many games between relegation rivals, which minimises the ability of all of the teams below us from picking up points. Also, never mind Hull's run in, west brom's is a bit of a shocker too.

I think we'll be safe by the end of the West Ham game. Today was such a great result for us. It's always good to get one you're not expected to.

Not safe yet but today's result showed how it was a bit ridiculous of those people who claimed that we should have just penned in zero points across all four of United/Spurs/City/Southampton away.

One could almost say that it was laughable.

Looking at their remaining fixtures they could well have declared on 33, unless they snatch something at the barcodes.

I still think 35 will be the magic number so there's hope yet.

Anyway breathing much easier tonight after that result.

Leicester v QPR on the last day might be a bit tasty.
