We're safe on 42! West Ham have some really tough matches to come and are in big trouble, their final day clash with Villa will settle who goes down with Norwich and Bournemouth.
I was so hacked off after the palace game that I decided not to bother. I am now more in the mood.I can't even predict the Watford result at this stage.
I'll give this a go after the Palace game.
Being very harsh on the Albion :I was so hacked off after the palace game that I decided not to bother. I am now more in the mood.
Will do this tomorrow once the West Ham, Bournemouth and Villa games have been played..
How nice to not have to even think about Fishy this season.
I'd almost forgotten that it has been an intrinsic part of our previous seasons.
We're all predicting them above us, aren't we?

If we were to break 50 points we'd finish above Palace. They have never done it in a Premier League season and, as was mentioned at the weekend, Viera's team have had a lot of plaudits, but are below Hodgson's points total at this stage of last season. Hodgson had 38 points after 32 games and finished with 44. We had 34 after 33 and got 7 points from our last 5. If we match that this year, we'll finish on 47. Turn one more loss into a win and we'll not only finish above Palace, but will exceed the highest points total they have ever managed in a Premier League season.*
* - There will be a Palace fan along in a minute to say that football didn't start in 1992. That is correct, but then it did start 18 years before Crystal Palace 2010 (TM).
