Well that's confidence for you.I wish I could say the same.Quite honestly I can see it going into the last day with half a dozen teams figting to avoid eighteenth.The only thing I would say is that I reckon 36-7 is going to be enough.I can't see every team in the bottom half managing a point a game.
I think Palace will go down but the remaining two places are capable of changing on a week by week basis. It will go to the wire but expect West Ham, Fulham , Cardiff and perhaps Norwich to struggle. West Ham are still good candidates and hopefully Saints can drag Sunderland back in to the mix next week. This is probably the most exciting season in the PL for years as it is equally tight at the top. It would have been more fun if Man Utd had lost more games and were hovering above the relegation zone - that would have been priceless.
Yes I have to agree. Teams all beating one another so its a set forward and two paces back.
Sorry if this has been mentioned but Norwich's last 4 games are Liverpool, United, Chelsea and Arsenal! Surely they'll have to have a good buffer by 34 games?
The PL is exciting top and bottom...can see it being Saints as the only team with nothing to play for.
So just 5 points sepearte the bottom half of the table. Tightest it's ever been. Will be a lot of twists and turns to come. Going to make the last few games squeaky bunm time for a lot of fans!
Pretty convinced that the bar will be set lowish this season,possibly 36.If you look at the bottom three they have all taken 22 games to get to 18 and now need that number from the remaining 16 even to make 36,that's a big improvement to have to make.
I know that there's less than a fortnight left, but this could yet turn out to be one of the most important January transfer windows ever for those towards the bottom. There's clearly not too much between 10th and 20th, so if one or two teams can really go out there and improve their squad this window, they potentially could find themselves comfortably safe come the start of April. Most likely with a 10th - 12th place finish at the end of it all.
For once, I would see as a club in trouble buying near-certain survival (assuming those signings are of sufficient quality) rather than a club in trouble buying a ticket to enter the raffle to give them a chance.

We have the opportunity to destroy Arsenal's title hopes (so tight, one loss could make it very hard to keep ahead of City) and dent someone's survival chances.
The danger is clubs doing a QPR though.I can see Cardiff being the one to splash the cash and it all going tits up.
Latest Betfair odds
10/11 Crystal Palace
21/20 Cardiff
6/5 Fulham
6/4 Sunderland
7/4 Wet Hoof
109/1 Saints
It's all getting a bit tight down there. I still expect Wet Hoof to be in the mix come judgment day. I'm expecting Sunderland to keep up their momentum - once they woke up on Saturday they looked very much capable of staying up.

This season it will be like a game of musical chairs...just depends where you are when the music stops.
