    She will only see the cheese anyway.

    Give her some blue pop and she'll stick her finger up your bum and you can have a neck on.

    Careful - if she's remembered to put her teeth in you're in for a nasty shock.

    The three that I think will be relegated are:

    Villa
    Newcastle
    Sunderland

    Maybe a possibility that Palace will take the place of Sunderland, but I doubt it, and it's based on the final 5 or 6 games left, and the opposition each team has to face, both Newcastle and Sunderland have a tough end run to the season, they are not good enough to get enough points from their tough fixtures, while Palace only need a couple of draws to make them safe, As for Norwich, they are a tough nut, and can easily get results against Sunderland, Everton, Watford or Arsenal...........<ok>

    The Result on Saturday has no bearing on my prediction, I did initially say a draw, but points wise we could still stay up. I also put Palace to lose to Norwich and by Palace beating Norwich it kind of did us a favour.

    I remain confident in my prediction and we will finish 17th.

    More blind enthusiasm, always good to see!

    My father pointed out that this time last season Leicester were 6 points adrift in the relegation zone - yay, staying up this season and winning the championship next season then!!

    Right as it stands now, Norwich's remaining 4 look very tough, and could properly mangle them; could see them losing all or just getting 1 point....31/32 points in the best scenario for us.

    Sunderland also got tough run in, regardless of the feel good factor of beating Norwich (which we needed them to anyway!), Arsenal home, Stoke away and Chelsea away is a very tough next 3. could see them drawing the last 2.....32 points best case scenario for us.

    Thus just beating Palace and Villa *may* be enough. More likely not enough though, and something from City and Spurs is gonna be needed.

    The points target for staying up will not be as low as 33 points. I'm guessing it will be around about 38 points. Win the two you say and then get 4 points from Man City, Liverpool and Spurs and hope Norwich and Sunderland don't go on a run.

    Oh no it would be suicidal to have a target as low as that, I was just saying that if results are spectacularly fortunate to us then that total may be enough. In reality Sunderland and Norwich will probably at least have another win in them.

    We're fortunate they have tough run ins, but Sunderland look far more up for the fight than us, and although Norwich had a set back, the 7 points from 9 before that shows they're still in it.

    I've a feeling the Spurs game maybe be key, in which case we have to pray that Leicester have sewn up the title by then and Spurs are dejected and off form.

    I think the target will be low, I could see Sunderland and Norwich not winning another game, If you look at the games on an individual basis, you would have to say neither Norwich or Sunderland are faves for any of their remaining games, but that really doesnt matter what so ever. Anyone can get a result against anyone, with that said, we need to do it ourselves.

    I think we can snatch a draw from Man city as long as we dont conceede first!, a draw against Lpool, wins against palace and Villa, then hopefully the spurs game doesnt really matter. I really cant deal with another deciding last game of the season, especially against spurs

    I think it all depend on what we do.

    If we keep going at the average points per game since the turn of the year Sunderland will get 7 points.

    If that's the case you will need 10 points to finish above us. I will give you six from Palace and Villa, but that means you must beat one of City , Liverpool or Spurs. The best bet could be Spurs if the league is over by the last day of the season. However with Vardy out next week I can seethe gap at the top being only 2 or 3 points, which could leave Spurs needing a win on the last day.

    Put simply, you must get at least two points from City and Liverpool this week, any thing else and it is down to Us or Norwich to stay up.

    Shame really as I would love both of us to stay up but it can happen, so I am looking for a City win by at least two goals tomorrow, which if you look back is what has happened every game at SJP against them since you came back up. Then lets see what team Liverpool put out on Saturday, of the two games you have this week I think that is your best chance, but there again it is away from home.

    I have hope, I wouldnt be surprised if we go down as we have left it too late and we have some tough tough games, but I'm gonna remain hopeful until it is mathmatically impossible for us to remain in the PL! I'll take 1 point from City and Lpool game right now, then look for 3 against Villa and 3 against palace Palace giving us 7 then hope everything goes our way. 35 points could be enough

    I dont think you guys will get 7 points though, tbf I cant you you getting anything from Arsenal, Stoke, Chelsea, although Everton and Watford are easier games looking at form, but I might be too late for you by then?

    Looking at Goal Difference, Mackems certainly have the upper hand, but Norwich have the points on the board. Could come down to GD, I hope not otherwise we are screwed!

    I can see us only losing one more game this season and I can make a case for getting points in every game as well. But that is just being a football fan! If I was in your shoes I would be saying that we would get 2 points as will Norwich and you will get 8. But I am not LOL

    I just can't see it. I actually think Sunderland might well pull well clear in the end. People keep saying they have a tough set of fixtures, I can't understand that.

    Arsenal - Looked vulnerable last two game but fair enough, they still have something to play for and not lost for 5 games. Arsenal win.
    Stoke - Jekyl and Hyde. If its Stoke on a good day then Sunderland might have their hands full. Form is poor though with only 1 win in the last 5. Not much to play for. Sunderland win.
    Chelsea - Hiddink is in lets try the kids mode now, they've looked awful once they knew they were safe and had nothing to play for. I honestly think they are there for the taking. 1 win in five. Sunderland win.
    Everton - Martinez under extreme pressure.No wins in 6. Conceding goals for fun. FA Cup is all that matters now. They could go out of that and be in the doldrums by then. Sunderland win.
    Watford - 1 win in 7. FA Cup distraction but still tough game as I suspect they may have picked up some form by then. Nothing to play for really though. Draw.

    I think Sunderland will get 10 points. The magical 40. I can't see us getting 13 points <laugh> I can't see us getting more than 9 points.

    We are doomed. I hope I am wrong.

    God I hope you are right but I think there is no chance on earth we will get 10 points from the last few games. I honestly think 5 points is realistic and I also think Norwich and Newcastle will finish on the same points and we stay up on goal difference!!!
