Just looking at next group of games and feel very positive that we could hit the magic number by 29th probably subject to wilf staying
Given injuries and suspension would be a great achievement but being palace just as likely to still be on 30

30 it is then

40 points should be enough and is achievable as a minimum expectation,given our strong start to the season.
Other sides,though,beginning to put in some strong performances, other than Brighton who despite their new expansive playing style,are now just two points above the drop zone,much to our surprise (and joy!!)under scout master Potter.

Sheff United arguably a tougher game than the likes of Arsenal.

Things could turn quite dramatically from utter despair from a loss to all is well again after a win.

Thankful for a PL break at this moment.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

It is possible that 40 will be required this year given that many of the teams below us are showing signs of life.
Bookies have us best priced 20/1 to go down so they definitely think we will survive. Interestingly Newcastle, who also have 30 points, are best priced 6/1 to go down. Either we are way over priced or they are underpriced. I suspect the answer lies somewhere in between.
