    I'm glad that you agree with me that Southampton will lose

    Wouldn't surprise me as we'll have nothing to play for by then and hopefully still in cup.

    Think you lot will stay up relatively comfortably now. 70% there really and only need another 3 wins and couple draws - might already be done by time we play.

    Most likely as we'll have won all our games before playing you

    Tash - you are missing 2 games there, presumably the ones cancelled due to Covid. Everton Away and Southampton Away.

    15games = 45pts, puts us on 66 for the season.

    No predictions from me. Was hoping we could beat Leeds and srape draws from Villa n Everton. We won all three.

    Will just keep enjoying this run, attacking football is a sight to behold up here.

    I think we'll just miss out on Champions League with that.

    We left this good run a match too late. Eddie out!

    You've got it all wrong Tash.

    West Ham (A) - D
    Brentford (A) - W
    Brighton (H) - D
    Chelsea (A) - L
    Crystal Palace (H) - W
    Spurs (A) - D
    Wolves (H) - D
    Leicester (H) - L
    Norwich (A) - W
    Liverpool (H) - L
    City (A) - L
    Arsenal (H) - D
    Burnley (A) - W

    Everton and Southampton - rescheduled games* we still need to play as well don't forget... (W & D)

    5 Wins, 6 Draws, 4 Losses - City, Chelsea, Liverpool are free swings, been very optimistic with the majority of the draws though. If we could get these results though that would MATCH our current points total (21 points) so feel I may be being a bit OTT. Arsenal, Wolves, Spurs and West Ham could all be losses...

    Wouldn't want to be going into the last 5 games needing more than 6 points to stay up.

    We kinda need to be something like 9 points above the drop zone with 5 to play, minimum.

    I'd settle for 16 points above the relegation zone with 5 to play - better for the nerves!

    Then you might actually watch the game instead of making up DIY chores?

    Based on this, we can see us get 15 points minimum, which in all accounts guarantees safety? but I'm confident we can pick some more wins and end up 40+ come end of the season.

    15pts should be enough like. I don't see Burnley winning more than 1-2 more games and probably another 8-9 draws.

    They look so **** up front it's unreal.

    We are 19 points off 4th with a game in hand.

    .....and only 42 off top spot with a game in hand.

    If I'm going to be pedantic we are also only an English Channel and 59 points off top spot in France with 24 games in hand <laugh>

    Watford, Burnley and Norwich all have tough runs of games coming up.

    Norwich have found some form, but hopefully there fixtures coming up should end that. Watford are cack and they've taken 2 points from the last 33, they're gone imo. Burnley.... Well they've won 1 out of 21, need to get winning immediately, and I don't see them winning many.

    So 3 very bad teams below us, and Leeds and Brentford on awful runs atm, so things starting to open up for us.
