Feels like our season will be decided in the next three games. No surprise, but very clear when you look at the fixture list.

Man Utd & Man City (PL won). Relaxed, no nerves, safety guaranteed we'll win both of these as well.
Liverpool away we'll have one foot on the plane.
I'm not sure any of West Brom, Stoke or Southampton will even get the 34 points we already have.Draw against Leicester, makes Huddersfield a must win. And I really feel its a banana-skin, Hudds terrrible result on Saturday means they are right back in it and will be desperate. I have a feeling they will do a smash and grab on us, and leave us suddenly looking very scared at the table. Palace away, draw at best, gets us to 36 and still in trouble going to the last two. Man U at home is where we'll get the points to stay up, but no-one will have any fingernails left

Tho it might be natural for the players to be already on the beach as soon as PL survival is assured, hopefully the club will keep them up to their task right til the end of the season. Going on the piss with three games to go cost them Championship Winners medals last season. Every PL place gained is an additional million quid in the club coffers. Hopefully the players' end of season bonus pot is linked to finishing position.
Anyone got that table showing the prize money for PL finishing positions that was posted on here earlier in the season?
/\ wow. £1.9million per place.
Given the ludicrously tight point spread between positions, 10 and 17, one win on the final day could be worth up to £8million (ignoring the whole 'relegation' thing).
As for the suggestion that the next three games ARE 'Our season'... that can't be right - I'm quite certain that we previously all agreed that the four game spell of Southampton - West Ham - Stoke - Swansea was 'our season'.
The trouble is we dropped 4 points in those games, meaning 'the season' had to be extended./\ wow. £1.9million per place.

And, if only Swansea had lost to Arsenal and Liverpool.If only we'd shown up at The Hawthorns
