Really? Well maybe a bit harsh but a poor/limited player. Basically your standard French/African defensive midfielder who has no technical ability only athletic ability. Hmm little bit harsh. Seen a lot more to him than energy. He is tidy and keeps possession and puts a tackle in.

Exactly this! Looks like a cracking prospect. Our midfield three have really begun to impress and it would be difficult to drop any of them. However I do feel we need a goal scorer from midfield - perhaps Delph could step up...

They've already warmed up Clark, another superb footballer we've depended on a lot this season but has not got the credit he deserves. Depended on Clark as we were not exactly blessed with options.

I feel **** brilliant to say we are safe!!! Please don't let this happen next year!

Finally starting to breath easy lads. What a feeling!!

Get the **** in!!!!

YES YES YES!!!!

This is a **** disgrace. Absolutely awful biased refereeing. No chance was that a free kick.

**** disgrace refereeing

We really must keep hold of this guy. He is a phenomenal talent, one which i think will only get better next year. If Lambert sorts out the defence and brings in a tidy creative midfielder then I think we should be aiming for top 8! But again, in some respects I think it is down to whether we keep Benteke.

Calm down. Yet no denial do I actually need to deny that???

Calm down.

FFS. Why the **** are so many people saying we are 100% safe.

Hardly. Results going against us - but don't worry it is a certainty that Arsenal will beat Wigan right? The overreactions of OMG WE'RE GOING DOWN like the relegation thread has been for the last week or so. I'm not naive in the slightest. We're safe and have been since Norwich. I find it naive to be saying we are safe and have been since Norwich. We have been playing well and it is bloody annoying that our form and results have not meant we are mathematically safe. I am not taking a pop at the Villa, nor do I think I am overreacting or being unduly pessimistic in saying we still have a bit to do to ensure safety. We want one or two teams around us to slip up today - if they do and Wigan do manage to beat Arsenal on Tuesday then we will have some insurance as opposed to it coming down to Wigan OR Villa for the drop.

Hardly. Results going against us - but don't worry it is a certainty that Arsenal will beat Wigan right? hes pretty naive. What happens if they get a red card in the first 10 minutes? Wigan could easily win it. This is our insurance policies and their all going to shit atm. Exactly. I find the amount of people proclaiming safety very surprising. We should be fine and it is still in our hands, but there is still a way to go. To have one or two teams between us and Wigan going into the final day would be huge.

They should, but so should Man City yesterday. This is football.

Hardly. Results going against us - but don't worry it is a certainty that Arsenal will beat Wigan right?

Incredible!

But none of these results will matter anyway if Arsenal win. True, but for insurance purposes we want teams around us to slip up. Everybody has been saying how it would take a ridiculous sequence of results to see us down, I just hope the first games in that sequence do not come true today.

There we go. And everybody is saying we are completely safe. Premature.

Baggies are useless.

Yep - If Arsenal want top 4 they have to win really.

Get in QPR!

Glad to see he is making a few fans change their minds. Always been a big fan.

The world isn't black or white bud True that. Again though, we are all going to be watching the Wigan Arsenal game nervously. Deserved something from the game today. I thought we were by far the better team. Just hope we don't need to pick up a result on the last day because we will struggle without Benteke.
