    know they are tough games and its a big ask but 2 wins from Southampton and Everton would IMO see us safe. Its 2 x cup finals.

    I think 2 wins is highly unlikely, I just keep holding on to the fact we performed a miracle last season.

    I seem to recall Everton being in and around the relegation spots pretty perpetually at times in the 90's and early 2000's but they never went down and gradually drifted back up the table. There's always hope.

    I remember them paying Wimbledon to throw the last game of the season to stay up.

    You need to adjust your Hull City stats and position . With 4 games to go we have 34 points.

    What the **** is that team? <laugh>

    Tim Krul is shook to bits, he's looking worse than that 11yr old girl they had in nets over Christmas.

    Newcastle, making sure your coupon never gets busted since the dawn of time.

    Well this confirms it. Enjoy the PL lads, don't forget us as we tumble down the leagues. On the plus side, you staying up saves me the hassle of looking for you in the Championship section on this site. Every cloud I guess haha

    Sky are saying we have a horrendous run of fixtures and look doomed ...... fckoff. We play Everton next who conceded 3 and lost to Villa, they're nowt special. Then we play Leicester and we'll win ......... plus a point at either Arsenal or Chelsea.

    Newcastle will be pooing their pants, they've lost 2 of their remaining defenders & the supporters are revolting ......... some believe Hull are safe but not if they lose to Arsenal and fail to beat Burnley. It's Burnley's last chance to save themselves and they'll throw everything at that game.

    Newcastle are at home to West Brom next, currently drawing at Man Utd, and the atmosphere will be poison.
    They've somehow managed to have the 2nd worse goal difference in the league .... which could be crucial.


    Newcastle - 35 POINTS
    West Brom (Home) - May 9
    QPR (Away) - May 16
    West Ham (Home) - May 24

    HULL - 34 POINTS
    Arsenal (Home) - May 2
    Burnley (Home) - May 9
    Tottenham (Away) - May 16
    Man United (Home) - May 24

    LEICESTER - 34 POINTS

    Southampton (Home) - May 9
    Sunderland (Away) - May 16
    QPR (Home) - May 24

    SUNDERLAND - 33 POINTS
    Everton (Away) - May 9
    Leicester (Home) - May 16
    Arsenal (Away) - May 20
    Chelsea (Away) - May 24

    QPR - 27 POINTS

    Man City (Away) - May 9
    Newcastle (Home) - May 16
    Leicester (Away) - May 24

    BURNLEY - 26 POINTS
    Hull
    (Away) - May 9
    Stoke (Home) - May 16
    Aston Villa (Away) - May 24

    Newcastle 35 -24 35
    Hull 34 -13 34
    Leicester 35 -15 34
    Sunderland 34 -22 33
    QPR 35 -22 27
    Burnley 35 -27 26

    Its going to be between us and Newcastle, although its possible us, Newcastle, Hull and Leicester all finish on 37 points so it could go down to goal difference. Playing Chelsea and Arsenal away at the end of the season may do us no favors. We need a draw against Everton and a win against Leicester.

    Its going to be really tough but a win would really put the pressure on Newcastle and they are in worse form with bigger problems than us. We need to get a win quickly to really put the pressure on them.

    Couldn't bring myself to post yesterday (due to our match). I hope you guys stay up I really do, you seem to be trying and there are signs you could be able to continue and pull it off.

    As for Newcastle who knows. Ashley has managed to create such an apathy amongst some of the most passionate fans it's no wonder the players are sleepwalking too. Of the teams down there we deserve to go down with QPR. Burnley I feel sorry for as I like them but they're just not good enough. I think we'll get a point or two from our final games but that may not be enough and we (as a club) very much deserve what is coming. The fans don't but no fans do, except Millwall and possibly Villa but lets not dwell on them.

    Arsenal are treating this as a training exercise ........ this could get nasty for Hull.
