65% sure that we'll stay up. If Sunderland beat Stoke and Wigan beat Swansea then I'll start to panic. As long as Norwich don't beat WBA, we're staying up. One point off us with Man City on the final day of the season, and us having far superior goal difference.
I can't see us ending the season with 4 consecutive losses so I think we will pick up 3 maybe 4 points from the last 2 games, which will be enough.
we'll get the three points we need next week...I'll be at the game and we always do well when I'm there
It's scarey being a saints fan but I'd rather be in our position than the club's below us. We have the points on the board and we still have the best run. Sometimes football is ****ing brilliant, the emotions and twists and turns. The last two weeks for league 1 and the championship has gone right to the last few minutes after a 46 game season. Financially we must be in the premier league next year. I just hope we are certain of that before 17:45 on 19 May. Personally I think we will be pretty safe next weekend. So proud of the saints this year. Played magnificently
It'll be down to goal difference on the last day, as it always was. I'm an optimist so I know we'll be safe (nose rams into door).
I feel about 60:40 that we'll stay up. We have a better chance than the other teams below us if we play to our potential...my doubts are due to our lack of goals recently. What's that about?
It will come down to the last game - both Sunderland and Stoke are sides I think our high-tempo pressing game is less effective against. If the venues were reversed - I think we would beat Sunderland at home but loose at Stoke. As it stands; at best a point from the Stoke game, as I think De Canio has put fire in the bellies of the Sunderland team - so a point will be hard to get, especially as we are having troubles scoring at the moment.
Sunderland have experienced the di Canio effect....I knew he would be worth that important couple of wins to them. However, that doesn't make them a good side...they struggled for periods against Stoke (who are also not a good side). We are a far better side and we have to hope that works on this occasion.
The fire Di Canio has put in their bellies has led to them getting 2 key players suspended for our match, which is good, not to mention the injuries to other players who will be missed. Watching them last night, Stoke should have beaten them easily but kept giving the ball away. That's something we are better at avoiding these days. I agree that scoring goals is something we have lacked for a few games, but we have created lots of chances and surely some of them will start going in soon!
I'm glad people are optimistic. Ok how many people are going to be watching/listening to the game with their hands in front of their faces. It seems people before the West Brom game thought the season was all but over, and maybe that makes it worse for them.
