It feels unlikely but at the moment I think we may not score again this season. If Sunderland get the bit between their teeth it will make it very interesting. They're the only side below us that could feasibly better our goal difference too. I'd basically written them off. A Norwich result today and it'll certainly be squeaky bum time.

To be absolutely safe we still need 7 (seven) points.

6 if we can keep our goal difference reasonable.

Would have been 4 had Sunderland lost last night.

Can see us getting 2 if we park the bus against Swansea & Hull otherwise we've got to hope others drop points.

It's going to be a long couple of weeks.

If we could sneak a win at Swansea and others lose next week we could breathe a bit easier.

My recurring nightmare is that we 'do a blues'.

They thought they were safe this time 3 years ago - and their final game was away at Spurs - where all the other results sent them down.

Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh ! Nurse ...........!!!!

We need a win next week at swansea somehow. Surely its not beyond the realms of reason that one of gabby or weiman might rediscover some sort of scoring touch?

We need to be pretty much safe after the hull game as we never get anything at man city or spurs in the league.
You mean just as Sunderland got nothing at Mancity and Chelsea?

I see on VT it mentions an article by the Mirror saying C Palace knew our line-up over 2 and a half hours before kick-off....interesting.

Like it would have made any difference...

Sunderland, Cardiff, Swansea all fighting for their lives whilst we limp along.

If we beat Swansea than it really doesn't matter what others do. Sunderland are not going to get 10 points from last 5 or Norwich 7 from last 4.

We still need 4 pts from Swansea/Hull otherwise we will be relying on other teams, many of whom are starting to pick up points. If we can aim to finish above the Baggies we should be OK.

Doesn't this imply that Lambert knew the line up 2 1/2 hours before kick off?

The Mirror also has a link to a story about Newcastle eyeing up Pulis.  Surely all bollox!

Yeah, I saw that. He is another piece to get us thinking. I am worried for the first time this season:
