    I don't accept Fulham have gone any more than we have. They've got by far the easiest run in of the bottom 8. Not saying anything is easy, but I'd take their fixtures any time over those for the likes of Palace, Sunderland and Norwich.

    For a club that's become established in the Prem, Swansea have fallen apart just like West Brom. Both clubs had aspirations for top half finishes at least - if you listened to some, even top 6. Now both are in deep **** and Brom's win at the Liberty last week showed how poor both clubs are at present.

    It's still anybody's guess who will go down, and the obvious choices being made are the two clubs already behind on points - pretty short sighted.

    I think Fulham are down Sparks. Unfortunately you are also very much hanging on by your finger nails,as are Sunlan, but i don't give **** about them.

    Of the three bottom clubs, i'd say you are by far the most likely club to pull off a great escape, simply because you are by far the better side, and there are one or two clubs, just above the bottom three, that are easily capable of slipping in there.

    All the luck in the world to you, i like Cardiff a lot.

    Cheers Kempton. Old saying I know, but it ain't over until the fat............. (blah, blah, blah)

    There are a so many variables - far too many to be dogmatic about the outcome at this stage, although points already on the board are always going to sway opinions.

    This last 10 games or so is all about those who can up their game to meet the challenge, and which are blowing it at the death. I reckon we've some green shoots this past 3 or four games, but when you're playing Tottenham and Everton away, and then Liverpool home, it understandably takes a bit more than just that to get the points.

    I reckon we'll take this recent improvement forward over the next 5 "easier" games and get some results.

    You did us good and proper at the CCS a few weeks back and deserved it, but the scoreline didn't reflect the game - I reckon that game was actually the start of our improvement.

    Best of luck in the Prem next year - I've said on your board before, if Bruce was our manager we'd have had no problem this year and would probably finish higher than you will now. <ok>
