Three wins out of eight should be doable.

Pity about tonight's result because I thought we would scramble over the finishing line to get a draw ... but it only proves that nothing can be taken for granted.

That 18th spot will be unclaimed for a few weeks yet but I'd like to reserve it for West Ham!

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

The same as all the other 'Oracles' on here.

Why do you feel we are less likely to stay up than Swansea?

What you said about Chelsea:

"Unfortunately the chances of us getting anything at Chelsea are somewhere between nought and zero"

Which turned out to be bollocks.

HTH.

I can't say I feel optimistic about our chances. Swansea have too much class across the board to go down. When Llorente is back they'll pick up some results and they don't have the hardest of run-ins. Hull, meanwhile, have undergone an alarming transformation in recent weeks with their new manager and I wouldn't stick any money on that ending any time soon. Let's just hope that when we play them at home on 13th May we are still in with a shout, because we have one hell of a storm to weather before we get to that point. I'm not saying I don't think it can be done because we beat the league leaders after all, but our nails are definitely gonna be shredded over the next few months. No two ways about it.

My view was clearly shared by many of our supporters. It was a huge upset, many perhaps concluding it was a 'freak' result and as such it was hardly predictable.
