A top ten finish is not out of the question either!

That is a big ask and will require at least 3 wins - and get above one of Leicester, Southampton and West Brom - Don't think Watford will stay there

Leicester are basically back to the form they were in last season. A false position, really.

Really great place to be.
Don't care where the points came from.

I think west brom, saints, and leicester will finish 8th, 9th and 10th, no reason we can't finish 11th, though we would need 2 wins and a couple of draws to get there.

Based on how the season has gone we have a good chance (unlikely though) to win our three remaining home games and get two draws from Palace & Bournemouth taking us to 47 points. That would be enough to get us 11th spot, you'd think.

More likely, I think we'll get another 5-7 points finishing around 14th.

Just been taking a look at the league table.
Take out the big six/seven who are almost ALWAYS guaranteed to be there :-
Chelski
Spurs
Liverpool
Man city
Arsenal
Man utd
everton

After that lot we currently are a fantastic 5th. Goes to show how well we`re doing under SD, the main thing is keeping him at the Turf.
Stay in this league, build up a little more next season (couple more good signings hopefully bringing a touch of creativity)
Maybe then we`ll play a full season like all the other clubs instead of just home games :lol:. Get more than a measly 4 points away next time round, top half beckons

That's the reality - we AREN'T safe yet - until we are more points away from the 18th place team in the league than there are points available to play for - we aren't safe.

Sunderland can still catch us despite being 16 points behind. ;)

True - they can, but probably won't.

I presume you do realise no club has ever come close to being relegated with an 8 point gap with only six to play. (In a 38 game season)

Yes - I am well aware of that. It doesn't mean it can't happen though.
