I just took a look at the 6 teams fixtures below us and they're all rather interesting 4 of the 6 have plenty of top teams to play and the two at the bottom have a fair few 6 pointers that means they will cancel each other out one way or another. Theirs life in the old dog yet ;-)

villa to play liverpool man c everton west ham southampton and burnley
sunderland to play stoke southampton everton leicester arsenal chelsea
hull to play palace liverpool arsenal burnley tottenham man u
qpr to play west ham liverpool man c newc leicester (5 games only)
burnley to play everton leicester west ham hull stoke villa
Leicester to play swansea burnley chelsea newcastle southampton sunderland QPR (7 games)

The bottom three need 3 wins whilst we lose 3 to overtake us QPR and Leicester have won 2 in their last 10 games and Burnley only 1 QPR managed 7 pts in those 10 games Burnley 6pts and leicester 8pts

Makes interesting reading when you look at it closely doesn't it?

It's quite sad and frustrating that it has come to looking towards other teams fixtures to hope we can stay up, especially after the 'guarentee' of survival with our new manager who has never been relegated.

Stranger things have happened at the Albion and there may be some more twists to come with Cluelis. A point at high-flying Palace? A win at Newcastle (about the only team worse than us), bonus points v's Chelsea, Liverpool, Utd or Arsenal?

Fingers crossed we can achieve survival under our own steam.
