    Relegation fight

    At least after today’s games the distance between us and 18th won’t close this weekend even if we lose tomorrow.

    For the first time today its crossed my mind wondering if Brighton will get sucked in? They’re on a terrible run of form and only 3 points ahead of us.
    (P.S. I know we are not safe yet)

    I think 3 or 4 more points should be enough for us. With 9 games left you'd expect us to get at least one win and a draw.

    We've also got 3 home games in a row after Spurs. I reckon we'll be looking up the table rather than down

    They might but, on 34 points, they're highly likely to escape (I know they're only 3 points ahead of us having played a game more but the reason I'm not saying we're highly likely as well is that they're coming down the league but have generally been very good until their horrid run and I back them to hit their straps again)

    And aye, we're still in a relegation battle, but we've got a much better chance of getting out of it than we had.

    I keep looking at the Points Per Game and our PPG looks good. We should aim for 3 more wins and the odd draw.

    Wouldn't be very comfortable if we don't win 2 of the 3 upcoming home games.

    Their dip began when they sold their "Man Mountain" giant defender.

    A tough set of results for Burnley today after a great win over Everton. For me, Watford lost their fight for survival today but the fight for the others to avoid 18th is heating up.
