...it's confidence and trust among the players and Pulis, so far we have no problems with it and going by Pulis's previous record...we won't. .......has our coach driver done a Poo'yet, without thinking about Gus!

Looking at the table - its surprising just how few draws we have had. That's a good thing really but if we do pick up a few draws against the top teams then we will be fine. let's look positively: • Our average points per game since TP took over is enough to keep us up. • We now have three quality new signings in who will help us score more goals • We have a player returning which is like a 10m pound new signing (Murray) • Pulis has never been relegated • We have depth in the squad now which will cover for injuries All good signs and our win record is now the best of the bottom half of the table … I think others will be far more worried about us than we should of them. My view: we will stay up (and quite easily) with 40 points.

We are looking good, great new signings, Murray returning, feel good factor. BUT a lot of the teams at the bottom are getting good results too.

Hold on - this is not about survival. Dropping a league will not be a disaster if it happens. Only MOTD pundits and supporters of the glamour-clubs believe there is no life outside of the Premiership. In the past there have been real theats to our survival but CPFC2010 rescued the club from that in 2010 and have done a great job at keeping us safe since. Some were calling on the board to 'guarantee' our premiership status by spending wildly at the start of the transfer window. Thankfully that didn't happen and there is no question of the club's survival no matter what league we end up in - and every reason to hope that it will still be the Premiership.

To stay up, we need to maintain our current average of just over a point per game, but ideally we want to be safe going into the last three games (I don't fancy having to take points from Man City and Liverpool, whilst Fulham could we'll be a 'relegation play off' for us). Maybe if we'd played more conservatively and defensively from the start of the season, or had Pulis in from the start of the season, we'd potentially be on 34 points! Holloways focus on 'playing possession football' cost us dearly. "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

Yeah, I wouldn't write off any of the teams below us. Sunderland seems to be recovering from a terrible slump, west brom are out of form, Fulham were excellent against Man Utd (who were poor) and even West Ham were decent. I think next season will see Villa in the championship, probably Cardiff as well. But I can see Fulham, West Ham, us and West Brom all potentially in that final spot. Swansea probably have a bit too much to their game to end up there. Of course I hope its West Ham, crying bubbles of tears and snot come the last day.

My view: we will stay up (and quite easily) with 40 points. You certainly raise several positive points for thought and a few days ago I began to toy with the idea of our getting 40 points. I think Fulham will take the drop and if last sundays match against Swansea was any indication of a possible survival for Cardiff I think that has now gone out of the window and they will probably go down. I'm not sure about the third place but I still fancy Sunderland. If we can come real good in midfield for the rest of the season I will be much more positive about our survival so lets hope we can control midfield by getting Jedinak,Okeefe,Ledley, Guediora and possibly Puncheon firing on all cylinders. I hate to leave out KG but he has not been very impressive of late,however,who knows he might buck up again and help out?. While I suppose we could also count on Ward I think I would rather see him at back.

We all know CPFC2010 saved the club We all know they are safe guarding the clubs financial future We all know (because of above-financially) it would not be a disaster if we went down Most of us would like to be a success in the top division for a change and actually survive. The owners did not need to spend wildly but they DID need to spend on affordable reinforcements. Thankfully that DID happen as its an investment in our Premiership status

In truth we fell away from form at the end of last season,with luck,murray and wilf we scraped into the prem. by 2010's own vision we'd gone up earlier that expected. I hope we stay up but if we don't it won't be a failure, as we now have a strong squad and manager who knows his arse from his elblow.
