You want negativity? You got it.
Currently Tottenham Hotspur have 54 points in this season's Premier League. This is more than any relegated team has ever accrued in history. However....
Mathematically Spurs could still go down if Wigan win all their games and we lose all of ours (don't tell me you're not checking the fixture list). Those odds are just 949-1. Surely worth a qui... sorry, no, of course not. Got carried away. Ahem.
The idea of this thread is that, no matter how bad today goes, there is a reasonable chance that it won't be too long until we mathematically guarantee our status in next season's Premier League. So whether we finish 3rd, 4th, 5th or 17th, sometimes it's just nice to think about days goneby (not all that long ago) when we were more concerned with the bottom end of the table than the top.
We've come a long way baby.
