I was absolutely flapping about relegation when I woke up Sunday.
But after the results on Sunday I seem to be under the impression we are safe. I know that we are not, but I just think QPR will definatly lose at Man City meaning we are safe.

I think we will lose to spurs but I also think Stoke will beat QPR for some reason.

Another thing is Norwich has been our easiest win this season and I think we will beat them last game.

*team positive*

I can see QPR choking against Stoke because they know they HAVE to win it to have any chance of staying up. Stoke are no push over though.  I also fancy us to get something at Norwich. A draw might be enough, even if we lose to Spurs. Squeeky bum time though.  Never so close again please.

If Spurs win tomorrow at Bolton and Chelsea/Newcastle share the points, then Spurs will only need 4 points from their last two matches to secure 4th spot.  They may then settle for a draw at Villa knowing they have a last day easy fixture at home to Fulham.  We may then be able to celebrate safety.

Bolton will have the Muamba effect tomorrow, he will be at the game - could pump up the team.

Plus 4th may not mean cl. So I reckon they'll go for the win

Bolton and QPR will see not losing as a high priority going into the next games, they are not looking at overcoming us just staying in touch. We are not safe yet but we coud be by Saturday night.

Bugger me!
Not in the top 10, but mentioned in dispatches!

Shows how others see us this year, compared to 2 seasons ago when everyone loved us and Prince Martin.

Celebrate safety?? That's what Blues used to do - celebrate staying up with a 'lap of honour'. It just demonstrates the level we've sunk to under a useless Chairman, Manager and CE over the last 2 seasons.

Have you seen where Fulham are in the table ? If I was ' Arry I know who I'd fancy to beat more

Wasn't it re-set after the Bolton game?

I think between then and this weekend there were a load of 'Yes' votes, but after our draw and the QPR and Blackburn defeats, plus Man City still being in the title race, opinion has turned again, with the majority of the 'No' votes coming since then.

Were it re-set once more I think it'd be a pretty large majority voting 'No'.

I agree John M'Zog, but the sad part is that it's nothing to do with what we've done, rather the abjectness of the teams below us ... and long may it continue, we need it!

I'd say coming to VP this season is classed as an easy fixture and Spurs would expect 3 points
