Think the points total for surviving are going to continue to fall. Think we aren't so far off 30 being the new 40

Leicester are terrible. It's over for them.

We have a big chance to leave Leicester in the dust over the next 3 games. They have Spurs away and Arsenal at home, whilst we have a home game against them sandwiched in between.
We also have 2 games in hand, 3 points ahead with a better GD.
I would say that’s a huge chance to get way ahead of them going into the final third of the season.

Chances they give Van Nistelrooy a quick hook and hire Dyche?
I know he ran out of gas here but I do not want to be up against a Sean Dyche revenge arc as we try to get ourselves out of this.

Problem is that Leicester have a terrible defence and midfield. It’s full of really poor, championship standard players.
For that reason, not sure it would interest Dyche as they look done and dusted.

Just been listening to it and I reckon the answer to our prayers is bringing back Build Me Up Buttercup as the pre-match banger.
In unrelated news: I have been drinking all day and isn’t music great?

I think they 100% sack VN, keep hoping they get a draw somewhere just to keep him in the job longer.

Defo think getting Potter mid-season was too big a risk for us.

On 26 points they probably only need two wins in fairness so they won't be going down but they do look crap.

Just need that all important win to get momentum going and with favorable fixtures to come still confident we will be sound.
No way we need 40 to stay up although we should aim for that. 34/35 does it I reckon.
4/5 wins and a handful of draws should suffice

Would love to see it but I just don't think there are enough teams that can get above them.

Finally Fulham take an opportunity to do us a favour.
