    Just had a quick look at the clubs below us and their run in to the end of the season.

    Crystal Palace have a horrendous run in by far and away the worst of the bottom six
    They still have to play Chelsea (a), Arsenal (h), Liverpool(a), Spurs(h), Man City(a) & Man United(a) - cant see them picking up alot from that set of fixtures

    They also have us - the proverbial 6 pointer at home
    & Southampton away which ain't easy

    the only two fixtures which you would probably expect them to pick up some points are hull(h) and burnley(h) - but they are fighting for their lives as well.

    Big Sam certainly has his work cut out

    What also wont help big sam is that Hull only have Man C and Spurs to play out of the top 6. They'll pickup a few points from the mid table sides.


    We have:

    Stoke City (H)
    Sunderland (H)
    Everton (A)
    Crystal Palace (A)
    Arsenal (A)
    West Bromwich Albion (A)
    Watford (H)
    Manchester City (A)
    Bournemouth (H)

    Think we should be aiming for 12 points minimum from those.

    WBA and Bournemouth (maybe even Watford) will hopefully be safe before we play them with nothing left to play for, with the "on the beach" attitude. You never know though, it could be us thats safe before Watford and Bournemouth <ok>

    Wouldn't spent to much time worrying about relegation . I'd put a bit of money on the Foxes in the top ten by the time they head to Spain . Might make a bit of money IMO

    Bless you for your optimism mate but decades for being a Leicester fan have taught me not to take anything for granted until the fat lady sings.

    Think all the teams between 9th and 15th will all be battling for that top half finish. The gap is pretty slim at the moment.

    Lets not be fooled though, there aren't many points between 9th and 15th, though i think we can safely say that we are staying up now.

    We should be aiming for Chelseas 50 point now as well, let them keep the poorest champions defence record <laugh>

    Our PL run in is as follows:

    Everton v Leicester City
    Crystal Palace v Leicester City
    Leicester City
    v Tottenham Hotspur (to be rearranged)
    Arsenal v Leicester City
    West Bromwich Albion v Leicester City
    Leicester City
    v Watford
    Manchester City v Leicester City
    Leicester City
    v Bournemouth

    We will need 15 from 24 to reach 51pts - with this run in and Champions League I'm not sure but will keep the faith :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Just under 2 points a game ... you never know though, our last 6 games have us at 2.5 per game ... <whistle>

    Think CL may botch it up though, think we need to avoid heavy defeat to see the season out positively. Athletico have hit a golden patch of form as well, so its going to be an interesting couple of games.

    Law of average might mean that Athletico patch of form could turn into a banana skin .It's my hope anyways , you can't fuk with law of average sometimes .

    I wouldn't bother with the lottery this week <laugh>

    Big Sam doing what Big Sam does though.

    Surely got to be between Hull and Swansea to go down with Boro and Sunderland.
