    Further gains for me:

    Saints - 0
    Burnley - 3 points
    Leeds - 4 points
    Everton - 7 points

    Think that would see Burnley relegated.

    Funny that so many people who have been staunch Ralph in, and we’re not getting relegated, are now twitching <laugh>

    Hopefully.

    Burnley need 2 wins, Leeds need 3 due to GD and Everton need 3 wins. And we need to lose both matches.

    It’s unlikely that all of these things will happen, so we’re probably ok. But we’re at the tip of the dog fight.

    The depressing thing is it feels out of our hands, I can’t see us picking up anything.

    Saints 1
    Burnley 4
    Leeds 4
    Everton 7

    Yes 40 and we are 'safe'

    It's enough

    It's all about the first summer with the new owners and next season
    I can roll with the punches, I've done it many times before and got up again

    Nope, I’m not twitching either. (About relegation I mean).

    Its not impossible we go down, but it would be a bit of a freak occurrence if it were to happen now.

    Totally unacceptable though, we were on 35 points after 26 games ffs.

    The easiest prediction there is that we will lose both matches

    We're definitely losing both matches. There's more chance of me getting a wristy from Holly Willoughby then getting anything against Liverpool!

    They don't give enough of a **** to turn up against Leicester. We're (once again) relying on others ****ing up.

    100% We're in a relegation battle

    Burnley need 2 wins from Spurs away, Villa away and Newcastle at home to even put us in any sort of danger. It's doable but unlikely.

    Villa and Newcastle likely will have nothing to play for though....

    Valid point, difference is Burnley players and manager actually give 2 ****s. Ours don't

    I suspect they might if our PL status was in any sort of peril.

    We can but hope mate. IF we survive this is the biggest transfer window ever. Hopefully with someone else making the decisions

    I think i get your point, but could read your response as they dont care as they think we are safe. If that were true, that is utterly appalling.
