[FCBurnley]

Fulham and Huddersfield will be relegated

We have 11 games to play

We have 6 home games left

We are 5 points ahead of Cardiff

We have a 10 goal superior GD over Cardiff

We have to play Cardiff at home.

We are unbeaten in 8 games inc Man U away and Spurs.

We are Burnley

Madam petulengro told me we were safe in August.

[FCBurnley]

Madam petulengro told me we were safe in August.

Wish you had freaking told me that then !!!

[tim_noone]

Wish you had freaking told me that then !!!

well I have been bleating that msg all season tbh. That said I was VERY critical of Chris wood and but wasn't advised on Him... Though I stuck by him from a betting point of view and have been rewarded a few times.Good ol Chris!

[Woodleyclaret]

We never were.We are far too good and better than at least 9 teams

[ElectroClaret]

Because Huddersfield, Fulham and Cardiff will.

We are a mid-table Premier League side. When we play to our strengths and play with a plan (ie. balls into the channel rather than to the head of Vokes) we are comfortably better than a good number of sides in the division. It's just a shame that this side didn't turn up for the first half of the season and the reason why can't by pinned down solely onto the return of Heaton or even playing in Europe.

I was certain that at the very least we'd give Spurs a game today, sure you always think that you are likely to lose due to the number of match winners in these sides but I knew we wouldn't roll over. I expect the same on Wednesday and would be surprised to leave Newcastle with 0 points.

I'm finally very relaxed about surviving relegation this season. We were nailed on relegation fodder on Boxing Day.

Absolutely. However, I too was convinced we would be relegated after the Boxing Day debacle, but I still had ultimate faith that SD would turn things around and get us straight back up from the Championship. I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised that things have progressed the way they have, and it looks like we may well miss a transient year in the second tier. In SD we trust.

Personally I think that balls to the head of Vokes was quite a good scheme. The problem was that we did it too often when Vokes wasn't actually playing.

[SGr]

At least one club won’t pick up 30 points this season. I believe we’re 6-8 points away from certain safety.

[RalphCoatesComb]

Because of how we played today.

We beat one of the best teams in the Country - no mean feat!

We are a mid-table Premier League side. When we play to our strengths...

Our strength is we set up to survive.
We will go down when we tell ourselves we're a stable mid table team so often we stop playing and buying like we're relegation fodder. See Stoke, WBA, Swansea, Villa etc
