Yet?

Mathematically, no.
Realistically, yes.

Nope.

no
close thread

No

No we wont stay up with 31 points

Ok we are not safe yet...another home win! Are we safe then?

Yes.

We will not go down.

I'm a pessimist and I'm looking up not down. Anyone thinking we might still go down, go stick £5 on it you'll probs get 28/1 or higher tonight!

no
still close thread

Of course we are.

There isn't the remotest chance in remoteville that were going down.

Relax. Pour a large G and T. Pull up a sunlounger.(well, when it's a bit sunnier)

We're golden.

No, of course we aren't safe.
But we're one game and one point closer.

Ok two home wins and we are defiantly safe West Brom & Stoke anyone?

Not safe yet. Could lose next three games quite easily. But I'm confident we will be okay

We are safe when no one can catch us, until then we are on our way to being safe, no more and no less.

Ok two home wins and we are defiantly safe West Brom & Stoke anyone?

No. Have this conversation in June.

If we didn't get another point all season, we might stay up or we might not. But that won't happen so we will be fine i suspect.

Safer than we were at 3pm, that's for sure.

Damn you. I meant mathematically and I'm now going to see if I can edit my original post.

We realistically need five points, but probably four.

The dummies at the bottom don't look anything like getting enough to overhaul us.
That would take a full 180 degrees turn around in their form. Ain't gonna happen.

Relax, kids.

Whatever, an extremely good result today.

Great point today all things considered.

Safe? Too right, these lads of ours will not let us down.

Not safe yet.
Another draw and, the elusive win on the road and reckon we will be though.

No plenty of points going. Ten clear is good though!

We're not safe but we will be soon. No worries.

I'm glad you're here.

If the bottom 3 continue their points per game ratio until the end of the season and we don't pick up another point we'll still survive.

You could tell it meant nothing to him. He talked of the one and only priority being to stay in this division. Quite right too.
The numbskull pundits in the studio then went on to say we had no bite up front,therefore Hull would win, apart from one brave soul who gave us a chance of a draw. This was based purely on the law of averages as opposed to our ability to fashion a point for ourselves.
To be fair, they did refer to Hull's recent home run of success, and us not having anything to show for several months on the road, apart from united.

I fell asleep when I got to"asked" in your post

Had you down as a dullard, even my dog knows we are not safe .

The teams below wont win more than us

Does your dog pick up its own shite?

On paper not yet.

In reality, not a shred of doubt that we are safe.

I really don't care what those in the bottom 3 do, we will carry on and pick up enough points anyway.

12 games left and a 10 point cushion.

Barring a complete collapse we should confirm safety in the next half a dozen games.

after beating Liverpool for me

If

We need at least thirty nine before we can relax. I still think 42 or so should be enough

I think the points we have now will be enough to keep teams up.

I'll admit to being safe when Sean Dyche says I can.

42 points - no chance
31 points - very little chance

Think it will be 36 or 37 points

This is just the kind of thread that could come back and haunt us....but as said we would need a massive downturn in form and others would need a massive upturn in form for us to be relegated now.

I`d rather not tempt fate with threads like this though.

We are nowhere near safe. Run of tough fixtures coming up. With our away record we could be well in the battle. Long way to go - but we have enough to do it - even if it might be too close for comfort in the end.

Taking emotion out of the situation we won't need that many more points unless there is a big implosion by the top sides.

There are only three points for a win, two for a draw and there aren't enough of them for the bottom sides between them to get that many to make our position too difficult.

We were safe back then sunshine

we are safe when there is an unnecessary pitch invasion at the Turf !

When the maths say so.

If before then krbfc or saxo say so I'll consider it.

Unnecessary pitch invasion?

I live near Reading, I'll ask them for advice on one of those, after that one they did when Dyche first got us promoted and they thought they'd made the play offs.

All we have to do is match the performances of Sunderland, Hull, Leicester for the next 12 games and we ARE safe. And we haven't been doing that all season. We have never sunk that low.

Does anyone believe that we will do even worse than that and suffer a slump in performance that is as big in magnitude as the improvement in their performances that they need in order to overhaul us.

Nah! Ain't gonna happen.

But we will be.

I was there.

It was hilarious and sad at the same time. Even their players started to sit up thinking they'd made it!

What got me is that there seemed to be zero footage or mention of it on SSN.

In our last 10 games we have played 5 home, 5 away and amassed 14 points. Of the teams below us Watford Southampton and Swansea have got 10, Hull 9 Sunderland 8 Middlesborough and Palace 7 Bournemouth and Leicester 5. So no not safe but getting there with 12 to go.
ONE GAME AT A TIME
