It was always going to be between 35-38 points to stay up. Everyone always says it looks like it will be a small number to stay up, then February hits and teams suddenly start to click, and results start coming in.
I disagree the top 6 were beating everyone else until Crystal Palace beat Man City away from home and some teams down the bottom including ourselves were making record bad starts and struggling to win home or away so 32 points was looking likely at one point to stay up.
