Technically we could if ALL of these happen... - Wigan beat Arsenal away - Wigan beat Villa home - Sunderland get at least a point away at Tottenham - Fulham get at least a point away at Swansea - Southampton lose to Stoke PLUS Southampton lose a 11 goal advantage in goal difference! Are any of the pessimists still going to maintain we will go down?

Alternatively, if Saints are the ones to score they'd be 1 point behind 10th.

I said no such thing. Mr Wrong.

And if Saints score we'll be 11th.

Like when you predicted Saints finishing 17th in the Championship, when they actually stayed in the top 2 all season and were automatically promoted?

SaintBobby didn't say he was certain that Arsenal would win. But the vast majority of people looking at that game would come to the conclusion Arsenal are the overriding favourites. A Wigan win although possible (as they showed last season), it is very unlikely. Yet you claim "if we stay on 39 points I am certain we will go down", so by saying that you are saying you are certain Wigan will beat Arsenal.

Even if they did beat Arsenal, that still doesn't mean 39 points wouldn't be enough. Given you can get odds of 10/1 on a Wigan win on Tuesday I'm assuming as you are so convinced they will win you must have put a large bet on this match given your likely huge returns. Haven't you...? If not, why not?

Out of interest Mr Dalek2003.... Should the extremely unlikely happen and 4th place Arsenal beat 18th place Wigan at home on Tuesday and it is shown that 39 points is enough. What will you say or will we never hear from you on the subject again like with your 17th place Championship predictions of 2011/12?

In the same way you stuck with your prediction that it would need 43 points, then 41 points and now 40 points. Or your prediction from last season in the Championship that Saints would finish 17th. I'd quit making predictions if I were you Dalek2003, you aren't very good at them!

You said 43 points, then 41 points now you are saying 39 points. When it is shown 39 points is actually enough to keep a team with Saints goal difference safe will you backtrack even further to 39 points? Last season you said we'd finish 17th in the Championship! We were in the top 2 for the entire season! ffs

Yet again you are overlooking it isn't just Wigan that would need to overtake Saints. Yes, some bad results for Saints in terms of other teams and Saints themselves have or will happen. But there are so many things that would need to happen for Saints to go down it is very, very unlikely. 39 points will be enough.

It wouldn't, Saints could still go down with these results... Villa 0 - Chelsea 1 Norwich 1 - West Brom 0 QPR 0 - Newcastle 1 Fulham 1 - Liverpool 1 Sunderland 1 - Saints 1 Arsenal 0 - Wigan 1 Southampton 0 - Stoke 13 Tottenham 1 - Sunderland 1 Wigan 1 - Villa 0

Fulham

Why on earth does a football shirt need a pocket?

No, I'm not. Did you want to meet me for a drink? I can practise drinking whilst you talk.

Have you put a bet on it? If not, why not? As you can get odds of 10/1 on a Wigan win! They are long, because it is very unlikely to happen. Can you not understand now why people said you were wrong? Lots of things had to happen for Saints on 39 points not to be enough, yes some of those things might and did happen. But they were never going to ALL happen.

As of this morning... 1,415 tickets sold out of the 2,200 allocation.

I forgot momentarily the game was on Sunday. Cue Turkish...

I didn't say it was confirmed.
