Let's not forget even if we lose, Sunderland and Newcastle could easily lose too and they'd both be further up shit creek than us.

And Hull...don't forget Hull.

Or 'Relegated Hull City' as they will be changing their name to shortly.

I wasn't, seems like a few people think that they're going to win at Spurs and get a result against Man Utd. My point was even if they do the other two might not pick up any more points.

I'm pretty sure we're fine

80-1 is a pretty long set of odds though.

I started fretting when our odds shortened to 'only' 66-1 earlier in the week,

[silhillvilla]

Worried ? Put £200 on at 80/1.

[Nastylee]

I no longer have any concerns that the all the teams below us are going to overhaul us now.

[Toronto Villa]

More nervous now.

I'll make it so for the Match Thread. We are Magnificent. Make no mistake about that.

I feel physically sick.

You need to pace yourself. At this stage you should ideally be limiting yourself to a vague sense of  apprehension. Fridays is dread with occasional spells of self-loathing, sleeplessness and torpor. Saturday starts bright with irrational euphoria before darkening to gloom, despair and anxiety.

Physically sick is for when we're hanging on for hull not to score at about five to five

Not just me then:) 

I overheard someone at the Spurs game after we'd scored say "I'd forgotten how much I hate watching us when we're ahead".  The sense of imminent implosion is hard-wired in us I think.
