There seems a concerning sigh of relief has been breathed around the club, but looking at the table I am not as convinced as everybody seems to be. I hope we are not relaxing too soon.
Newcastle and Sunderland have a game in hand over us. they win it and they are 7/8pts behind with 7 to play.
we have Leicester away, West Ham away, Man City home, Liverpool home, Chelsea home, Stoke away and Newcastle away.
we will be underdogs for every single one of those games.
Someone convince me I should be as relaxed as others... |  | | |  |

How often in those forty years have we lost seven games in a row? |
I don't think it's a case of losing 7 in a row. If it were a matter of picking up a solitary point to ensure safety then I would be as confident as you. | | | |

In that case, how many points do you think Newcastle and Sunderland are capable of getting? | | | |

36 points is usually enough. Even at our poorest this season under monk we were still picking up draws and the odd win. It would take a monumental collapse to get dragged back into it now. It's possible but improbable. |  |

We can be utterly w@nk for the rest of the season and still stay up. We just need to scrape two more points to be sure. Personally I think we'll get something out of our games against Liverpool & Newcastle. Heck even if we accidentally win one of those games (like Arsenal) we are over the line.
Relegation is always somewhere in the back of my mind until its mathematically safe but I'm a lot more relaxed about it now than I was 3 weeks ago. We basically just need to fall over the line, which considering the season we've had will be good enough for me.
We were closer to relegation the year Laudrup was sacked anyway but I can't remember the fanbase being as skittish as this. |
Closer to relegation, perhaps, but that was in the middle of the season rather than at the end of it. Not that I'm arguing with any of the points that you've made.
We're safe. |  |

I'm confused.
After the Sunderland/Newcastle game (10&11 points clear of them or 11&12 if you factor in goal difference) the OP says it looks like we're safe and who should we cherry pick. Three days later, and with no more games played, OP now says safety not assured. Not a woman by any chance ?

i've thought it a WUM since about page 2 as he's kept it going by ignoring any logical argument. It's classic Dimi or copycat Dimi. |  |

I think the sigh of relief is due tp the fact having won the Villa game we now need 4 points from 7 games which should be achievable to ensure safety unlike possibly 7 points from the same "tough" games everyone keeps going on about.
Are we safe .....not yet but safer and in a better position to ensure our safety than those chasing behind us.
But that will still it be enough to satisfy the WUMS who mostly have just 3 letters in their usernames | |

Teams at the bottom often go on runs of results when faced with the trap door. I genuinely think we could be in a bit of trouble unless we win another game. But I am not sure which game that will come from, with the way we are playing added to the sense of safety now, and the level opposition we face - there is a bit of work to do yet in my opinion. |
One team at the bottom quite often does go on a run but not three. If one of them does it then one of the other two will also have to start winning to affect us. And there's also Crystal Palace who are in a terrible run of form.
That's not to say that I won't be very happy if we win or draw a couple more. | | | |

On no account must we beat Leicester or even draw with them - no-one would ever forgive us.
Stoke 1-1 Swansea, I've even bought one of those Kody box thingys from Amazon to watch it. [Post edited 29 Mar 2016 18:12]
