OK. If I was a West Ham fan I'd be thinking it is time to panic.

Last 3 games: Spurs, Lpool and Burnley.

Of course, it needs Swansea and Hull and Palace to win several games.

Oh no, down to seven points!

Won't someone ever think of the washing machines?

Don't know about other posts but I had posted I hadn't seen anything to suggest we are capable of a win at Palace. I hadn't. Stunned by our performance yesterday. I don't think Hull and Swansea are that bad though under their new managers.

They really needed to win it.

They wouldn't even have got a point if it hadn't been
for that useless fat c**t Rooney giving the free kick away.

Whatever,, they ain't gonna trouble us.

I agree 100% but it's handy for us that Palace have still got to go to United and City yet! I know they've pulled off some great results recently but the top 4 chase is going down to the wire so they could easily lose both of these games which makes the Hull game crucial for them.

One win in eight for Swansea!

Looking at the remaining fixtures, Palace and Hull may be more worried than Swansea.

7 points no good for Swans to catch us. due to our vastly superior GD.
They need 3 wins to top us. We'll be reyt.

Worst manure performance since the 70s.
They couldn't find a team mate had no energy and were dire.

Great result for Swansea and they could have won it.

They need a result against Everton at home next but if they can get a win
against them they could easily win their last two - away at Sunderland and home to WBA -
and end up with 41 points.

Hull will also get points from their last three - possibly even 6 or 7 putting them up to 41 points too.
They'd have to win at Palace mind you and if they did then Palace might be back in trouble also.

One win in our last three would guarantee us staying up and hope it comes next week against
WBA. It's time we beat them.

A point might actually suffice.

With our better goal difference it makes no difference to us whether the gap was 7 or 8 points. They can have two wins and a draw, we lose them all and we'd still be fine. We're safe. Let's enjoy the last few games and get as high up the table as possible.

Stop worrying, jurek.

We're as safe as a safe bloke in Safetown, as Blackadder might say.

Unlucky Swans got the usual outcome on decisions against 'big clubs'.

I'll be watching the rest of the season in virtual pipe and slippers. Sean and the Lads have this well in hand.

Err no...Llorente was offside when he should have scored at the end. Had he done so they would have got away with one so it balanced itself out!

Crystal Palace now look to have the toughest run in of matches, away to both Manchester clubs and a home match against Hull. If they were to lose at home to Hull their fans could still have some nervy moments ahead.

I was so pleased that we broke our away duck yesterday to relieve the pressure.

Odds-on Swansea to go down. They could catch Hull but bearing in mind by the time they KO v Everton they are likely to be 5 points behind them (Hull v Sunderland earlier in the day) they would have to produce a run of form over the last three games very much at odds with what they've been able to do over the first 35.

From our perspective, after yesterday's win it's all in our own hands. Hull and Swansea picking up points just helps us to stay completely focused going into the West Brom game - although I doubt SD allows any complacency to creep in.

Hull's last two games are brutal, with Palace who may feel they are not safe and Spurs who may still be chasing the title. Meanwhile, Swansea have Sunderland and West Brom.
