Does anyone think we'll be relegated this season ?

Latest odds with the bookies are 9/1 but with us being 2nd favourites in probably all of our remaining 6 matches perhaps those odds are quite generous.

Not a chance. If they had kept the lead against West Ham, it may be different. Another point will do it for us. I've said all season we need 34 points!
 
I watched the Hammers v Burnley and this lot are going down. There is no way they will put a win streak together. The Hammers didn't come out the traps first half. Burnley weren't any better. once West Ham started getting their act together and levelled 1-1 there was only going to be one winner, Burnley keeper pope kept that from being a defeat. If that 2nd half was Burnley fighting for their lives and chasing 3 points they are down now.
They need 3 wins to pass us, with us not taking another point in our last 6 games I honestly can't even see them getting them. one more big performance from us and 3 points will have us playing Prem Football for sure next season.
 
Maxwell Cornet missed a penalty that would surely have given Burnley a win today and he also missed a 2 yard tap in last week that cost them another point. Turns out he's never taken a penalty in club football before whereas Jay Rodriguez has scored something like 19 from 21. Really glad we didn't sign him as he obviously got issues being a team player.

Got the assist for the goal and won the penalty though.

And gave away the free kick for the equaliser <laugh>

Not saying he's not a good player but the way he celebrated his goal at ER he clearly has a huge ego and could definitely be one to down tools if things don't go his way.

In fairness, if he really has that huge of an ego he wouldn’t be playing at Burnley.
Proof that he went for the money as there can be no other reason really.

As it seems around 30% of our wages are made up from bonuses (from staying in the division) that's probably why we miss out on certain targets who aren't willing to accept those terms.

I want to agree but then I had Newcastle as nailed on for relegation at the end of December

You mean he never grew up dreaming about one day playing for them <laugh>
