Albion aren't safe yet - if they lose on Saturday at Sunderland they'll be bricking it again.

Sadly, the fact they're ahead of us probably makes them safe!
We would need to beat Hull and them lose to Sunderland to put them in the shit again and sadly I can only see one of those scenarios happening.

I think we'll be back above them on Saturday.

I didn't realise West Ham were only on 37 points. They were 10th themselves not so long ago and must have collapsed as we have.

At least they have collapsed over the line. We fell over with 10 yards to go and are now lying prostrate on our back while the backmarkers sprint down the finishing straight.

They're not really though are they? Fulham have blown it, Cardiff and Norwich look doomed, while only Sunderland are putting in any effort.

It would be nice if we could ensure our own safety but I don't think we'll have to.

I know I'm in a minority liking Mourinho, but it's for a quite specific reason: he totally takes the piss out of the sports media. They hang on his every word and all he gives them is deadpan bullshit. The man is an artist.

I am with you.

I know he's an ass, but I think he's pretty funny

That he had so many Liverpool fans and Alan Green frothing at the mouth makes him a hero in my eyes. Very amusing.

Think we will just stay up, but the result yesterday makes Hull on Saturday a must win, we might get one point out of City and Spurs if we are lucky.

Feel we will stay up mostly because we are not quite as bad as a few others.  I always thought we would be alright this season, but yeah its looking very dodgy right now.
I think we are every bit as bad as all the others, and worse than most at the moment.
What will save us is the fact there are only 2 or 3 games left for everyone, rather than 5 or 6.

That is true, but as clitche as it sound the table does not lie, if we finish above the bottom three then it means we are just about better than them, not than that is something to brag about of course!

I was watching on Sky so missed out on Green's reaction. He has been a tit most of this season but credit to Jose for that one.

Most of this season?  When is he never not a tit?

Assuming we get no points from our last 3 games, the following would need to happen to relegate us:-

Sunderland would need to get at least 3 points from their last 3 games (their goal difference is only 3 worse than ours).

and one of:-

Fulham would have to win both of their games/Norwich would have to get a win and a draw from their 2 horrible fixtures/Cardiff would have to win both of their games

Unlikely, but not impossible.

Let's just go out and win on Saturday.  All this stress is playing havoc with my chankras.

Of course we could get 9 points off the last three games and finish mid table.
