Win tomorrow and we are safe. I’ll take a point but expect to be a bit hoarse when I get home.

My money is still on Burnley for the drop. Villa & Spurs away then ‘toon at home. They could lose all those.

Still, I wish I had some level of it.

All I know is my stomach is turning over at the thought of the next 3 games. Wish I was a more positive person.

If we match the tenacity, the grit, the fight and everything from the first half of the Man C game, then we'll get something. Crowd will play a big part tomorrow and we saw Chelsea struggle against Everton last time out away. Quietly confident, plus we owe them from the robbery at Stamford B

There is no love lost between our teams but I hope you stay up. Obviously though I won't complain if we win tomorrow.

out of the games against city,arsenal and chelsea i thought chelsea was the one we could nick something from. Its a pity they havent secured top 4 cos they would probably rest quite a few for cup final but thats not the case now so expect them more or less full strength but i still get a feeling we will get something. Hoping and praying we do anyway and fancy rodrigo and joffy to do the business for us

Burnley have just one at home while we have two - we have to be favourites.

I think we stay up - and this game will be the start of that 😊

I think we get 4 points from next two - Burnley get beaten at Spurs and Villa - we are safe final day and can relax.

It’s weird - I find so many seem to be “ok” with going down….rebuild and come back etc…..I just can’t even get my head around it to be honest - we spent so much time in lower levels, playing some horrific stuff against horrible opposition, with bad owners and awful management - we have clawed our way back and now faced with this again. I fear, we go down we are doomed for a very long time

So by hook or by crook we stay up - 3 bore draws will suit me fine if it’s enough. We need to find a way. And then figure out this mess in the off season - with the knowledge we have Premier League status, money etc.

Don't want to be negative but I've had this nagging feeling for a while now that February is going relegate us.

It was clear by December that we were seriously limping and many of us, me included, were saying thank God the transfer window is coming up. One month and one U23 signing later and the insanity of sitting on our hands came down on us like a ton of bricks in February.

For me, those 2 months are where we blew it. I hope I'm wrong and we get the points we need to stay up, but, to repeat, something deep down is telling me we'll go down on goal difference.

Alternatively, we stay up and endure another awful season with square pegs in round holes, a defence like a sieve and a disciplinary record the lads in Armley would be proud of.
Bournemouth, Fulham, Huddersfield and Fulham are showing that once you've been in the Premier League, you have the nous to do well in the Championship. Really, the advantages are in your favour.
Of course I would prefer to stay in the Premier League, but not another season like this one. It has been dreadful at every level. I cannot think of any period where we were playing controlled, incisive football.
As for Chelsea, I dreamt we got 1-1, but that Burnley got the same result at Spurs! That's the power of Guinness for you.

This time around for Geldhardt to get the winning goal.

Raphinha and Rodrigo to get the other two.

Exactly the applies as I said against Arsenal, we simply cannot afford to concede the first goal, least of all the two goals. I’m presuming we will never see a repeat of that Mesñier calamity ever again. He daren’t!!

I am definitely not okay with going down.That is nothing short of disastrous for the club.

It was telling that Gallagher chose Vieira and Palace over us, that Dramah and Summerville wanted away, etc. With regard to Orta, the JKA debacle says it all really. The football has been terrible and GD says we deserve to be where we are, but going down will kill us!

Another six-pointer against superior opposition tonight. As usual, I'll be hoping and praying, standing on one leg for 90+, anything! It'll be a goddamned miracle if we take a point.

As for Marsch, well, I've been reading about his use of inspirational quotations, probably what got him the job, but really, what is to be done?

Would love to know what Bielsa is thinking at this stage.

Anyway, onwards and...upwards...

COME ON LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS!

He's done it twice for Arsenal. Never say never, Real estate!

For those old enough to remember, reminds me of the old 'Pilot' song that got to number 1.

January
Sick and tired you've been hanging on me
You make me sad with your eyes
You're telling me lies…

The betting has us and Burnley level pegging, which is fair. They are ahead on goal difference but we have 2 home games to come.
Would you take a point tonight? I think I would. But against Brighton I wouldn't.
I don't think I've ever been more anxious about a game . I'm not going to enjoy this evening.

I just think the players have to go into this game with the mentality that if Everton can win against Chelsea, then so are they.

Playing for trying to get a point will be fatal. They must go for the win. It’s reached that stage now. Collecting ‘a good point against a top 6 side’ is no longer a viability.

If Chelsea don’t turn up with the style later on, then we have to be with the mindset to win and to take full advantage.

I foresee a dirty mess of a game...probably 1-1 and a couple of red cards

Let's hope the same Chelsea that rolled over for Everton show up tonight. Somehow I fear they will take delight in hammering another nail in our coffin, given the history between us.
