We certainly need to get points against our direct rivals to stay up, but that programme could be a lot worse.
That's if we actually want to stay up. For me, I'm still figuring that one out...
Palace (a)
Burnley (h)
Southampton (a)
Sheff Utd (h)
Villa (h)
Bournemouth (a)
West Ham (h)
Man City (a)
Watford (a)
Spurs (h)
Brighton (a)
Liverpool (h)
Need to improve to stay up.

Very tough last 5 games
They all are. We are the side that haven't beaten the bottom side this season. I hope I am wrong but can see us losing the next 4. Burnley,Southampton and Sheff Utd all playing better than us. Best chance next week against Palace. Need to win.
True, Sheff Utd have been great this season. Superior to us in every way. Southampton are picking up pace it seems, they look like a tough side to beat.
We have fluked enough points to stay up already just about . Another 6 or so will guarantee it .
Another 30% possession game , arsenal never got out of 1st gear in the first half , and we looked better only because of that.
Second half was shocking when arsenal put a bit of effort in .
They will be tough but i think out of those we have enough to get points to stay up.
Those last 5 will be tough but we've done well against Spuds in the past when playing them at the end of the season.
Next 6 games will decide our season . If we win two or three we are safe. But you dont win games if you dont score goals. We re heading for a John Carver run
Rafa's team conceded 48 goals last season. Bruce is on 40 with 12 games to go.
So who do we beat off that list the way Bruce the dinosaur has us playing ? I cant see anyone. If we lose to Palace who haven't won in 7 then we are a good bet for relegation. If we stop up it will be through a lot of draws as we wont win many more.
