Judging by the comments about other clubs, I take it that no one else is still a bit worried about our situation? I probably just need to grow a pair!

I'm still worried.

No league game this weekend, Man Citeh away the following week (which based on our record up there looks like the definition of a home banker, even if they have slipped a bit recently) which means we're into May before we'll realistically pick up three points again.

If we don't manage that against Everton, the pressure will be huge.

Man City have lost 6 out of 8. They're shitting it at the prospect of facing us.

Are they really though? I can't imagine many City fans expecting anything other than 3 points, given the two club's league positions and their PL home record against us.
I expect most Spurs fans thought the same.

I also expect most Man City fans will have thought their games with Burnley would yield more than one point. I'm less worried about the outcome of this game than I was a month ago even if we do lose.

Upsets happen, still wouldn't expect City fans to be bricking it before playing a team they are much better than. By the same token I wouldn't expect Arsenal to be bricking it before playing Reading this weekend.

We need one more win or maybe a few draws to be certain.  I've seen enough to be confident that we will get that.  Can see us taking points off West Ham and Everton, maybe even Southampton and City.

I bet no rational opposition fans are viewing the prospect of playing against us as a guaranteed 3 points for the rest of the season. Not saying at all we won't lose, but we won't lose lying down anymore like we used to.

Personally i think we just need 4 more points. I can't see why we won't manage that with our remaining fixtures and am therefore pretty chilled. Slippers on and bong in hand.

I've turned down £10 an hour. I'm a greedy shit and holding out for around £12.10.

I think back to that Hull away game and remember how totally awful we were.

It's like another era now.  35 points will make us safe.  It would be nice to improve on last year's finish with an improve GD. An end to the shitty new records that we've managed to accumulate under PL would be nice too.

And not just that game Clamps. There were a number of games Lambert sent the team out draped in white flags. I never want to see that again.
