We're fine! If it was the other way around and you knew we had to hump Stoke etc. would you be confident of staying up?

A caravan park is as good as a hotel.

But we have 36 right now. Magic number is usually used in North American sports for teams chasing a playoff spot. Simply put it means number of points needed to guarantee a place regardless of what other teams do, it's not intended to give all possible permutations after the event Since we are on 36, 1pt is enough. N Americans understand that if the chasing team loses then that will do it too, they don't care about what could have been after the fact. Usually the sportscasters use it on the morning highlights show. "37 is the magic number for safety" sounds a lot snappier than, "depending on results between this team and that and this goal difference and that then the magic number may have been 33, 34, 36 or...".

My brother was a huge Man United and Hughes fan. Wish he was around to witness tonight. Sadly he passed away a few years back at the age of 35. He had a real soft spot for Saints and with Hughes at the helm he’d have loved that.

They need to learn thier lessons. The odd gamble looking for a gem is fine but we need quality players down the spine. We haven’t had that. We sold the spine and gambled with replacements.

Been on edge for weeks. It’s nice to sit and sup a pint or three without too much worry about relegation. Obviously I can’t get to Saints games so staying up means I can watch on TSN/Sportsnet here instead of crappy streams.

In fairness FF was amazing at Anfield.

True. Anyone who’s had a great manager at work and then a ****ty micromanaging toss pot will know how it can crush your spirit for the job.

Maybe he was washing his hair tonight.

A good rest on the bus is as good as a win.

Holy. Imagine that lot with MoPe as manager!

At the stage he arrived he had an enormous task whipping this team of underachievers into a hard working tight knit group. I don’t think Marco Silva would have been able to get that togetheress. Hughesie must have torn them apart after West Ham. To top it off by walking the squad into battle tonight when the Swans stewards wouldn’t let the bus in makes him a ****ing legend in my books.

Nah we snap into a few tackles with internationals going to the World Cup and see where their priorities lie.

A profusely sweating Reed, “see Mr GAO, told you everything was under control”....

Our team have been a bit too welcoming this season...

I think I got my answer. Moments like these!

Gabbi says “faggedddabadit”.

People were right, this is more exciting than safe by March and coasting!

Hey congrats! Would like to see Ovie get his hands on the Cup. Give Tampa a beating for me please (Senators Fan).

Could you imagine "draws are wins" MoPe inspiring the boys like that. All the Swansea shenanigans backfired. The Welshman lead his troops into the stadium as if to say, this is our game.

We got our luck after all. McC took out Beds, Gabbi came on, shape changed, goal!

Good.
