Does that basically mean most likely our survival will be confirmed next weekend then when city win?

It'll be confirmed if Stoke fail to win against West Ham on Monday and Southampton lose to Leicester on Thursday.

We were catching-up with the predicted points total, but plateaued. Gained 86% of predicted points (End of season update). Not usually in the predicted games! but first and last third were reasonably accurate, just November and December results let us down. 10th! GTFI.

 

Did this re relative difficulty thing for the season. Surprisingly, we're on track.

Thought I would 'classify' and colour code our fixtures according to finishing position last year of opposition  treating the top seven (15 point gap between Everton 7th and Southampton 8th) as RED (least likely to beat), next six as AMBER, and remaining four, plus promoted sides as GREEN. To make this pseudo-scientific cluster-f*** even more elaborate, opposition moves up or down a category depending if home or away if we are playing a RED team at SJP it becomes an AMBER fixture; and a GREEN team away becomes an AMBER fixture (I know this ignores our relatively better away form, last year).

 

Point is (other than I am bored and NUFC obsessed...) this should give, based on last year's form/squads, a sense of the relative difficulty of different periods of the season. So:

August:

Spurs H PRED 1 Lost ACT 0

Huddersfield A PRED 2 Lost ACT 0

West Ham H PRED 5 Won ACT 3

September:

Swansea A PRED 6 Won ACT 6

Stoke H PRED 9 Won ACT 9

Brighton A PRED 10  Lost ACT 9

Everton H PRED 26 Lost ACT 15

Arsenal A PRED 26 Lost ACT 15

West Ham A PRED 26 Won ACT 18

April:

We are catching-up with the predicted total points, and we’ve already more than enough to secure Premier League football next season. If we stay behind the predictions, by the same margin (achieve 89%), then we’re looking at a 45 point haul, rather than 51 points. Phenomenal run of form since Nov/Dec carnage (15 April, update).

Always worth posting the updates on this. At this stage of the season, this is the third best season we've had under Ashley.

Just to reiterate how well Rafa has done. With 5 games to go we're now on the same points tally as the 12/13 team ended on. For me the best post-SBR squad that we've had in terms of quality, talent, and potential. Ben Arfa, Ba, Cisse, Cabaye, Tiote, Sissoko, Marveaux, Debuchy, Yanga-Mbiwa, Coloccini, Krul.

Watched some of the FA Cup Semi yesterday and the way the commentators were going on you'd think Southampton had a right go. They were awful. I wouldn't mind Austin here, he had a few chances. Him and Bertrand.
