I would have been nice if Norwich had got a draw.  Liverpool are Champions all bar the fat lady singing. Norwich staying to 32 means the 3 teams below have hope and reason to fight. A draw and 3 points gap, 4 with goal difference, would have killed their spirit with only 3 games to go.

It makes no more sense the second time.

all I really care about it is us staying up. Everything else is noise including whatever comes out of Liverpool being champions. I just care about surviving the season and hoping that things change immeasurably for us in a very good way in the summer. More of the same doesn't bear thinking about.

And another game has gone for everyone and we are 1 point further ahead of the bottom 3 than we were on Friday. All of the bottom 4 need at least two results to catch us from 3, or 4 for Sunderland, games. Assuming we lose all our 4. It's just not going to happen.

This thread will be locked by this time next week after we've beaten Swansea.

It does. Just does. A team in bottom 3 looking up and having to get 4 points  from 3 just to raise their head above the water will sink with despair.

Yes, but more teams have to get more points than us means that we have more options? Relying on the current bottom 3 to drop is very very precarious, dare I say madness

Two clubs below us needing more than just one spawny win is just fine with me.

I don't think we have to rely on anyone.

What with injuries, do people think we have the weakest starting 11 in the premiership at the moment? Anyone actually weaker than us?

Well Gabby and Weimann means we're pretty much two men short right off the bat, because they do absolutely nothing at the moment. Throw Grant Holt into the equation and there's few more feck awful strike forces at the moment.

We haven't got the worst squad, but we have the lowest confidence, passing and ball retention, shooting ability and general idea what to do. Other than that, we're fine.

And, the leadership is seriously lacking.  I really wanted Lambert to succeed but I'm afraid  the trapdoor is beginning to creak.  Shame.

Bloody hell there are some miseries on here this morning. Aren't we asking Cardiff, Fulham ans Sunderland to win 2 games to catch us? At this time of the season it's a big ask. I'm the biggest worrier going but we are looking at long odds for circumstances to go that far against us. That said, we simply have to take things into our own hands - if we don't get the 2/3 points we need then we only have ourselves to blame.

You think this is bad?
Just wait till Cardiff-Crystal Palace is replayed...
