The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

[Jon Crofts]

Only thing I'd ask for is that once we are indeed safe this thread and all threads like it are deleted and never ever raise their heads ever again.

Looking at that, i can only see Sunderland getting one more point, even though they won today. If Newcastle lose to WBA i see them in real trouble too.

Newcastle have got 38 points - they're safe.

Either the beer is very good or you've taken it for granted they'll beat your second favourite team.

[Reuben]

Thing is though is that Chelsea have won the league, not sure how up for it they will be on the last day so am hopeful we won't have to rely on that fixture!  I am more confident of Arsenal in their games v Hull and Sunderland.

I thought Newcastle were now below us on 35 points?

[Toronto Villa]

If we can't get 5 points from those 3 we deserve to go down. I can't see Newcastle getting another point.

I have us ending on 42 and an FA Cup winners medal

They are.

Yeah, i don't wanna tempt fate, but i can't see us losing again, draw against Saints, win our two home games, and the momentum can carry us to the Cup Final.

And next week they play?

If the bitter birds had 2 more points maybe I'd agree with you, but they aren't exactly safe either yet.

[Villafirst]

Sunderland have an horrendous run-in - away games against Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea and 1 home game left against in-form Leicester. I can see 4 points at best for them out of those games. Therefore, 1 win will do it for us.

[Dave]

As long as 20-1 in some places for us to go down now.

Newcastle as short as 9/2

[SoccerHQ]

I'm tempted to agree. In any case as long as Man. United can pull their finger out in the last half hour then it's feasible West Brom lose their last 4 games and them on 37 points will make it very tight.

[Matt Collins]

It's a bugger the other results went agin us but we're now in a much improved position. More sides below us. And if we go into the last week ahead of Sunderland we surely should be fine.

Newcastle have got pretty winnable games on paper but their form is so bad you wonder if they'll pick up more than a point or two.

I still think Sunderland will go, as long as they don't pull off a freak win at Goodson
