Are we safe

[Dark Cloud]

Well you can say yes we are until you're blue in the face, but no we're not. And that (for once on here) IS a FACT!

[Burnleyareback2]

The chocolate fingers are still in storage

[ElectroClaret]

We're as safe as a safe bloke in Safetown wearing a safety belt.

[dsr]

Don't forget that if Hull win both and Swansea win both and Hull get a 20-goal turnaround, we'll still be safe unless Palace win at Man United.

And we have to lose both !

[Vegas Claret]

more chance of England winning the next World Cup than us going down this season

Can tell why you call yourself Dark Cloud

[Dark Cloud]

Can tell why you call yourself Dark Cloud

In fairness I didn't choose that name. It was given to me many years ago. For a GOOD reason!!

[Steve1956]

Electro! Help!

[ElectroClaret]

Yes. (Officially).

[Steve1956]

Well Electro,what do you think are we safe yet?

[Saxoman]

Note of caution, hull started last season on fire and mike phelan was the bees knees..

Don't think we will need this thread this season do you Fella's

Not until it's mathematically impossible for us to go down

[claretblue]

don't think we'll stay up with 12 points!

[Steve1956]

Started to worry even Swansea are picking up points.

[Bin Ont Turf]

Started to worry even Swansea are picking up points.

I may start to worry if they start picking up 6 points for a win.

[Spijed]

We'd have to go on the worst run in the history of top flight football for us to get relegated, basically losing 14 matches in a row. Even the odd draw now and again will keep us up.

It will also require a dramatic collapse of the form of the top six clubs in that they'll have to start losing on a regular basis to those at the bottom.

Do you really think that will happen?

[CnBtruntru]

Not until the Fat Lady sings.

We've still got to play 5 or 6 of the teams who will be fighting for their premiership lives
and all of them will see the games against us as 'can win, must win.'

But surely we'll be able to get a couple of results against them.
One win and a few draws will be enough. So 5 or 6 points will see us safe.
The sooner we get them the better.

[Erasmus]

I have to confess that I am a rather evil person. When Skybet were offering 500/1 for Burnley to be relegated, I put a tenner on it as a sort of insurance against profound misery. So if we should go down, then you will have the unusual phenomenon of someone who has just won £5,000 and is absolutely gutted about it.

So far we've played 14 games against the 12 teams below us, and won 8 drawn 4 lost 2 = 28 points. Two points per game. We have 10 games left - we don't need 2 points per game, half a point per game would do. Come on boys - we can do this!

Worse than Blackpool did a few seasons back?



Having looked at their relegation, yes, we would have to show much worse form over the last 16 games.
