We'll stay up - this season. Probably doing something daft like beating Swansea and Tottingham away. 

But PL has had the best part of two seasons now.   Have we really improved a fat lot compared to May 2012?

For that, and the home form it's probably best if he walks the plank in the summer. Or goes via the 'mutual consent,' cop-out. 

I'm fairly certain he'll be gone anyroad.   For all their many faults, Lerner and his red-headed stepson won't ignore a decline in season ticket sales.

I think Cardiff, Sunderland & Norwich will take the 3 relegation spots, but we'll need at least another 2 points. Trouble is I don't know where these will come from.

I think that 36 will be the line. Which side of it we are going to be on is a flip of a coin. Point next week at Palace, and a point at home to Hull might see us safe. But we have got a couple of real beatings still left to come.

remaining fixtures of those below us convinces me that we're safe. Cardiff, Sunderland & Norwich will go and Fulham will remain below us. Safe as houses! -

Fulham
Norwich, Spurs, Hull, Stoke, Palace

Cardiff
Southampton, Stoke, Sunderland, Newcastle, Chelsea

Sunderland
Spurs, Everton, Man City, Chelsea, Cardiff, Man Utd, WBA, Swansea

Norwich
Fulham, Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal (ouch!)

Swansea
Chelsea, Newcastle, Villa, Southampton, Sunderland

Palace
Villa, Everton, West Ham, Man City, Liverpool, Fulham

WBA
Spurs, Man City, West Ham, Arsenal, Sunderland, Stoke

Can anyone honestly see us getting another point? I can't. We are in free fall.

Aye, I think we might be very lucky and survive on 35 if Norwich lose next week. If Norwich lose to Fulham they'll be on 32 points. IMO they'll get nothing from Liverpool at home as Suarez always scores a hattrick v them and they'll get nothing away to Chelsea or Man. United. Even if they then have a shock win v Arsenal they'll be on 35 with a much worse goal difference than us.

A draw and a defeat for Fulham and I think that will be too much for them to overhaul us.

We won't win 3/5 in our present state Ads, little goalscoring threat with no Benteke and the defence is collapsing at the wrong time after a reasonably solid season is not a combination to win football matches.

We'll stay up but will do that scrapeing some draws, wouldn't shock me if we don't even manage the 38 Mcleish managed which is just a sorry scenario.

Not with that team yesterday no, bt Delph, Gabby and KEA coming in will boost the quality of the side. I think Bacuna and Gabby need to play off Holt and Andi needs to go away for the summer and think about how he needs to revitalise his game.

I think Palace, Hull and Swansea are very winnable games, especially the away ones. Spurs will be a funny end of season affair.

This is my concern. I think we need a couple more but I'm convinced that Lambert is incapable of achieving that. We need him sacked now so that the caretaker manager can rally the lads to get something out of the remaining games.

You said the same when we were on 28 and we went and beat Norwich 4-1 and Chelsea 1-0.
