Getting something at Liverpool would be invaluable.

[Stottie]

Play like that and we're in with a shout.

[Hughesy]

yep - the improvement in the performance is almost as important as the point.

[hakka]

Tonight was massive, not just in the result but the whole performance. Give Liverpool that and we could come up with the same result or better.

 

Would be amazing fairy tale to then go on to smash Palace and Villa, then prevent Spurs winning the league on the final day to keep us up.

This. They've left it late but at least it's there now.

 

We'll get something at the weekend if we play like that.

[Dave]

Hopefully Liverpool get mauled against Everton tomorrow, then need to rest players for Europe. Still they have enough players to beat us, but it's something.

 

hahahahaha

[nufcjb]

Consoling myself right now that we didn't get the 3 points tonite with the fact that our goal difference didn't take a battering. A simillar result against Liverpool would be great

True. I meant roughed up really, as much as beaten.

[Mick]

6.

[ilikenewcastle]

still very unlikely, but maybe an 8.5 rather than 9 now.

[IneedAbed]

That was an excellent point tonight, keep that effort up and we could do it

This could be the season sunderland kept us up by beating Norwich haha

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I'd say about a 7.5, still think it's likely but we've given ourselves a shot.

[Mattoon]

Liverpool game is pivotal, a point or even a narrow loss could set us up for the last 3, it's not entirely in our hands but if we keep this form up we can take it to the end.

[Teasy]

At least it looks like we'll be in with a shout on the last day, which looked impossible before Rafa arrived.  Hope to god Tottenham have nowt to play for by then!

[Stifler]

Like I said at the weekend, we have half a chance of staying up. We our the outsiders but if the others slip up then we can do it, plenty of outsiders have survived relegation, plenty have also went down. We have half a chance and that's all we can pretty much ask for after the Norwich and Southampton games. Let's take it game by game.

[Superior Acuña]

I now believe we have a very decent chance of finishing above Norwich - I almost fancy us to be at least ahead of them with 2 games remaining, I'm more worried about Sunderland though.

[Optimistic Nut]

The point guarantees us at least 19th.

[GeordieT]

Need three wins from four I reckon. It's possible.

[toon25]

Not enough games left.

 

Fucking morons for not binning that feckless twat after Chelsea.

[NEEJ]

Moved to an 8 from 9. Get a point or 3 from Liverpool and I reckon we'll do it.

[Heron]

Down to a 6

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Down to a 6

 

I like your style.

[Superior Acuña]

So putting Norwich aside (early days like, but I think mackems will get more than them so we need to come above them. And mackems GD is probably too much to catch if they have good run-in).

So from our 4 games:

 

Liverpool away

Palace home

Villa away

Spurs home

 

we need to get 2 more points than Sunderland get from their 5 games

Arsenal home

Stoke away

Chelsea home

Everton home

Watford away

 

I'm inclined to think they'll get a lot of points from that - 3 homes games. They haven't lost a lot recently. But in reality this is a team that have gotten 2 points in their last 3 home games against Leciester (okay, good team), but also West Brom and Crystal Palace. I can't help but feel they'll do well, but look at it rationally, it's fucking on man. We're by no means favourite, but both these teams are definitely catchable in 4 games with the fixtures we have.

[Heron]

I don't see Sunderland getting any more from them 5 than we will them 4. Problem is we're still behind.
