    I think we need to go into this day out of the bottom 3. Otherwise even a win v Swansea might not be enough as I can see some funny things happening elsewhere.

    Cardiff v Chelsea - can Chelsea still win the title by this point? We have to hope so.
    Norwich v Arsenal - are Arsenal secure in 4th and looking at the Cup Final? We have to hope not.
    WBA v Stoke
    Fulham v Palace - now Stoke and Palace might well be the least likely teams in the whole league to show an 'on the beach' attitude but you couldn't be that surprised if both weren't really at it on the final day.

    Chelsea also have Norwich 2nd last so we need them to stay in the title race. Champs lg final isn't til 24th May so shouldn't be a factor.

    Next weekend, if Fulham fail to beat Hull and Norwich lose at Man U, we can get ourselves out of bottom 3 with a win Sunday. We might need it!

    It will almost certainly go to the last day. We need it to be in our own hands then only have ourselves to blame. Would help massively if Swansea were safe by then.

    Spot on. It is, thanks to this week, firmly back in our hands. Win our home games and stay up. Simple as that

    I was saying ten points after spurs. Win all 3 at home would be 13! I'm just hopeful other results are kind so we don't need to suddenly win 3/3 home games under pressure! The stats show we are v unlikely to do that but maybe winning the first two would be enough

    Lots of ifs and buts involved.

    We shouldn't rely on anyone, every game is a must win. If we turn up to our remaining games in the same manner as the last two then we will be fine
