Feel for Dyche and Burnley didn't have much to spend in the summer, if he stays at the club i can see them coming straight back up.

The race at the bottom is getting tight but i like to see Sean Dyche back in the premier league soon.

They'll be back, they have the parachute payments from the Premier League for the next few years so he will have money to build another team and go again

Leicester are on target for the finish I wanted and the finish they deserve, maybe the season as a whole won't reflect our Football but I think considering how much went against us a 14th or 15th place finish is very satisfying. Although West Brom are probably gonna end up king of the Midlands.

Almost feel sorry for Hull after they really turned it round and pulled out some surprise wins only to see them clattering back down, I think Newcastle deserve far more to be dropped.

Don't feel sorry for Hull. They are egg chasers imo.

We have to win next week and that should be enough. I hope we beat Leicester but then you guys get the win you need after that. If Hull don't win at Spurs surely we are both safe? My only worry is Spurs seem to have packed their suitcase.

I disagree. I think they will struggle now.

But not the case with clubs who get the parachute payment come back up david look at Fulham for example.

I think so too steedeel just can't see him keeping the likes of Barnes and Ings next season.

You've just had two big wins and now a game at home against a team you can't even begin to think about losing to? Even with Leicester's form I'm terrified of coming to you guys next week!

Spurs have had a really volatile season, they seem to soar high and crash low on a week by week basis.

Ings would be a mistake imo. He isn't a top six player.

We are sunderland. We have a habit of messing things up just when things seem to be going well.

With two games left, and Hull and Newcastle as a safety net, how about we be nice and settle for a draw next weekend?

I know he isnt great,made my mine up about him when they got a pen against Leicester and he didn't set up and take it and gave it to Matt Taylor and he missed

We need a win mate. No doubt about it. We have two away against Chelsea and Arsenal. Draw means our fate is not in our own hands. We have to go all out for the win.

Aahahahahahaaaaaaa, QPR get battered 6-0 by City and are relegated. I was there at Loftus Road when they beat Palace 6-0 on the last day of the season to stay up 16 years ago and coming out of there after that wasn't a pleasant experience thanks to the charmless QPR fans. What goes around comes around, you ****ing chumps. Good luck with the Football League's fair play thingy next season...

[Pizzamorg]

Wow QPR got annihilated! Wish I had watched the game now.

[Geoff D]

It's now a shootout for that last relegation place.

[Pizzamorg]

Hopefully it's Newcastle that go down, I don't see Villa messing it up now although I'd love to see them go and I don't think Hull personally deserve to go down.

I've got a lot of catching up to do and I purposely haven't read any recent posts because I haven't watched any matches yet from today. So excuse me if this has already been asked and sufficiently answered.

Question to Steed , firstly congrats again on yesterday! I think that was a BIG thing. Now, glancing at the standings, and please correct me if I'm wrong (but God forbid, here rather than on the 4K thread where some have taken offense and made an ISSUE out of our passion) -

Question: Doesn't Hull need 4 pts. in the next two matches to effectively knock you down to the relegation zone?

Keep up the good work on the thread Tob

First of all, thank you.

3 points would be enough for Hull to overtake us IF we fail to win against Leicester.
If we draw and Hull win, they overtake us courtesy of their superior goal difference.
If we draw and Hull draw, they would need to beat Man U on the last day of the season and hope we don't pick up a single point against Arsenal (our game in hand) or chelsea. Both games are likely to end in defeat though lol.
If we draw and Hull lose, they could still overtake us by beating Man U on last day as we would go down on goal difference IF we don't pick up another point.
If we beat Leicester and hull beat Tottenham they would need us to lose both remaining games and beat Man U.
If we win and Hull fail to beat Tottenham we are SAFE!
