Villa 4
Us 3
Newcastle 3
Norwich 5
Swansea 5
Bournemouth 4

Norwich still have Leicester A, Chelsea H, Man City H, Arsenal A and Man Utd H. Swansea have Tottenham A, Arsenal A, Chelsea H, Leicester A and Man City H.

If we can get 4 points from Newcastle and Norwich away I reckon we will stay up now.

Disastrous results for Norwich and soton today, they must have fancied three points each.

How many six pointers do each side have tho ?

And how many of them have "soft"/little to play for teams like Everton and palace ?
 
Ive looked at this, and our fixtures arent that bad.....ie, we play a lot of teams with fuck all to play for. Take away any of the top 4 or 5,.... near the bottom we have the mags and norwich. All the rest are mid table, probably safe, and with not a lot to play for. Sometimes that can be a problem, teams play with a bit more freedom, BUT.....with the Euros coming up, players arent going to risk injury, and any not going to be involved, are already on the beach!
There will be a few twists and turns yet, but i really think we will be ok.....
HA'WAY THE LADS.

I know where you're coming from but it kind of means fuck all this season with the 'big' teams dropping so many points to those particular teams already this season. Add the fact that all except Leicester are going to be involved in European competition could mean even more 'shock' results (Tottenham in particular I expect to tail off as Pochetino's teams always have).

This. Our escape under poet included wins at Stamford bridge and old Trafford and a point at City. Form often goes out of the window as it goes down to the wire
 
On paper our toughest game away from home is West ham/Southampton which for me is still more than winnable.

I also fancy us at home against anybody
