    As the title says, another 5 wins and we're well safe, I actually think that 4 will be enough plus maybe a draw or two along the way but 5 for certainty.

    After todays emphatic win and 3 points we're up to 14th, with Hull next up at home we should overtake another of our so called relegation rivals. After that we have 3 very winnable games against Palace at home, Norwich away, and West Ham at home all in March. We also have Cardiff and Swansea at home to come also plus some surprise away games that we can take points from so all in all I reckon we're on the march up the table.

    Just a shame we couldn't play the mighty toon every week eh?

    I reckon we can get the 5 wins and at least a couple of draws and maybe pull off a surprise along the way. Who knows? maybe even a cup win thrown in? does that sound good or what?

    This is true there are no easy games between the teams at the bottom and the margins are very fine between success and failure, but I love the way Gus is
    leading this team to safety.

    And Hull relegated. :p

    I have us on a cautious 37 points. We have a 4 game run coming up where we could get no points. A win against hull may give us breathing space. Hopefully momentum can pull us through.

    Will 37 be enough.

    Who is going down?

    I'll go Fulham, west Bromand one other.

    Not by me mate, I've always had faith. Never thought we'd play this well so soon like but I always had faith in Gus, the guys a class act and Stevie Wonder could see the improvements we make each game.

    As has been said already, we have some tricky games coming up, today was one of them eh? Chelsea, Man Utd (twice) Everton, were all tricky games. We're playing with confidence and key players are hitting form bang on time. we've also done very, very well in the transfer market so there's more to come, plenty more.

    Confidence plays a massive part in any sport and under PDC ours was shot to ****. Gus has worked on that and restored the belief in the players, you can visibly see the difference now, just look at Jonno for example. The skinny twat is playing like Pele at the minute, he's buzzing and even Altidore was well up for it today, don't know what was said in the pre match speech but if ****ing worked. He was like Shergah on speed :)

    Anyway, **** the doubters mate, I reckon we'll do and do it with style and **** anyone who doesn't believe.

    Careful mate. We are a work in progress so they will be slip-ups. We are going very well at the moment, but still a work in progress nonetheless. No easy games in this league mate.

    I think we should be rightfully favourites and feel very confident.

    4 wins and 4 draws gives us 40 points. Not a bad position to be in with 14 games to go.

    All looks a bit different to October last year.

    I don't give a **** how we get there but just the fact we DO get there.

    Gus promises us a far better future than any manager since Reid (better than Reid mind) and I can't wait to see what he builds over the summer.

    Let's just get to 40 points and breath easy.
