After last night will 40pts be enough to keep us up?

    Following Villa's win last night does anyone think we will be safe on 40pts. I certainly didn't see a 6-1 result coming. Fortunately Villa's GD is still much worse than ours but I am getting a bit concerned again having been confident after beating Norwich that we were now safe. Can anyone re-assure me that we will be OK?

    PP,

    Depends on Wigan results mate, would prefer to get more points ourselves a win or draw against Sunderland on Monday is possible and we could get points out of the Tottenham game, whatever happens i would like to be maths safe before our trip to Southampton.

    I'm pretty confident we are now safe and to be honest I'd be more worried if I was a Newcastle fan as they seem to be buggered especially as they have 2 tough away games and their final home game against Arsenal who are pushing for Europe.
    Exciting times ahead next season if the rumours we are getting a better manager are true!

    I'm still slightly worried tbh.. Wigan seem to pull out results when they need them.. IF they don't get 3pts vs the Baggies I'll be a lot happier. A massive ask for Wigan but never say never. Let's do the maths again AFTER this weekends results. AGAIN I will say it.

    PULIS is to blame for fecking up selection wise since Xmas.. it's HIS fault we're still not certain to stay up.

    It was always going to be about Wigan. Thought they were unlucky against Spurs t'other day.

    On Pulis's gravestone will be the epithet:

    '40 points'

    I originally felt that 38 would be enough but I think we are safe on 40. Wigan have a potential 12 points which could put them on 44 but its highly unlikely, its more a question of where we finish in relation to the others and it would be hard to swallow if Villa finished above us given how far adrift they were!

    True Smithers, but it was always likely as they have a ton of goals inside that team!!

    I can see wigan winning their two home games and getting a point away, so 39 points could be safety so as a shocked SAFC supporter (1-6) ! we should need 2 points and have the bottle but now are minus Sess our best player so who knows. We were fantastic against Everton yet rubbish at Villa. We need a new defence next season.

    I think we've got past the ex-Mackem phase, we were landing the yanks this season, wonder who it will be next time?
