I've read a few posts on the forum from some people saying that if we are in the bottom 3 come xmas then they can't see us staying up. I'm not so sure that will be the case. If you look at our home fixtures up to know, we've played Man C, Man U, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton and Newcastle - all top half of the table teams.
After xmas we will have Sunderland, West Ham, Norwich, Villa, Hull, Fulham, Palace and Stoke. Now i'm not for a minute saying winning these games will be easy, but these are the fixtures that will make or break our season.
On the flip side our away matches after the new year are much tougher than what we've played up to now, but we've not picked up too many away points so far, so anything we get will be a bonus.
With the run of home matches we have i think we have every chance of surviving. Let's hope it doesn't go down to the final game against Chelsea though.
