Hull will probably beat burnley and get another freak win somewhere, arsenal at home would be my guess.

So given Burnley are on 25 points and actually have a 3 goal worse GD than us that will send them hurtling towards relegation I take it?

I think burnley will be quietly confident with their run in - Everton Leicester West Ham, Stoke and us ! Amongst others

They'll lose to Hull but will be confident about beating West Ham and Stoke. Remind me again how your mind works.

Having three out of our last four games at home, one would hope, will do us a huge favour. But seeing as our home form over the last few years has been so very poor, I'm not sure it'll be that much of an advantage!

It works on the mode, we've relied on others to dig us out the shit for 2 or 3 years and at some point that luck will run out.

A win today would have almost guaranteed us survival however..... Whilst there are only two teams below us for safety cushion (QPR and Leicester are gone) we need to get something at OT and beat QPR and than we will be fine.

And how does that relate to Hull?

We can't keep going sub 40 points and keep getting away with it.

Sub 40 has nought to do with it. We have stayed up because we have been better than relegated teams however must admit it's not good.

Since 1999 (so 16 years), 40 points or more has been needed on only 3 occasions. It's been more common to need less than 36 points (7 occasions) and 31 points was enough in 2010.

40 points gets thrown around a lot just because it's a nice round number.

So Hull are going to get a "freak win" against Arsenal, yet according to you we might as well not bother turning up for four of our remaining eight games.

Fair point we will probably spring a surprise somewhere . I think we will gather 7 or 8 more points which should do it.

Manure will be targeting our game as an automatic 3 points which will hopefully be their downfall as they have 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' tomorrow then Citeh and Chelski after us. I'm expecting at least a point tbh. I think we can grind out a result, every game needs to count, we simply cannot afford to have the 'typical' mindset of writing off games. We do not want to be going into the qpr game off the back of two poor results.
