Will 32 points be enough to keep us up?

    Think there is too much expectation about three points. Most teams at the bottom aren't picking up any points, period. After Everton I'm slightly more confident that we have enough under Hughes to grind out a series of draws and imo that might just be sufficient. We finally have a full squad (Faurlin aside) and hopefully players have been told in no uncertain terms to avoid stupid red cards. Yes we have a lot of tough fixtures but Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool are all at home. Possible to get three points out of those. The only fixtures where I'd be amazed if we got anything is away to the two Manchester clubs and possibly Chelsea (who knows how they will respond to recent upheaval). Key thing is to avoid defeats and in particular heavy ones that bust morale and goal-difference. Since Fulham ages ago we haven't been tonked by anyone but most of our rivals have. We are well drilled now and think we have enough to look competitive against all but the top two.
    Agree with that

      Is Stoke the same day as the cup final? When is the game likely to be played if Stoke make the final?

          Was that in the last week of July? If so I think I saw you outside Londis in Ealing, you were busking whilst wearing fingerless gloves and attempting to play the violin?
          You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

            Whilst I resent you using the word 'attempting' that was indeed my good self.

            They introduced this poster campaign in West London because of my behaviour last summer

                IMO I can see 32 points keeping us up along with Blackburn and now feel a little more confident of survival.

                A bit rich coming from that mob!...not exactly world beaters and a few wobbly results and some good ones for us 'so poor' teams and they will feel pretty nervous....true though, we are all s..t!

                  i would like to get the bolton result out of the way just to see how much passion this lot have for our club, there our lots of points to be played for but the team need to believe they can win .2 back to back wins in this league does wonders for you
