SSN reporter just asked Eddie Howe how confident he was of reaching the number of points required for safety - 45!!!!!!!!!!!
A quick internet search reveals the last time even 40 points was required for safety was the last century!
Unbelievably poor. | | | |  |

Didn't palace or someone go down with 44 once? Or West Ham? Might be what he's referring to. | |

Think he meant no one has gone down with 45 points so if you get to that you should be safe | | | |

Trevor Sinclair was interviewed on Off the Ball this week and he mentioned that he was in that West Ham side that went down (with 42 points). Les Ferdinand and Rufus Brevett were also in the side. | |

Since when has 45 been the "target" though?
You'll be safe with 50 points by that token, but that's not the target, everyone goes for 40, even though history tells us 39 would be more than enough except once in every 20 years or so.
Think it was 1998/99 the last time someone went down with 40 points.
Most years 39 or less has been enough | | | |

OK got my facts straight now!
Yes West Ham went down with 42 points in 02/03, but the next two seasons you would have stayed up with 34!
In 2009/10 31 was enough, but in 10/11 it was 40 that was required.
Never ever needed 45 though! | | | |

They used to say it was 40 points would keep you up but after teams went down on more than that they changed it to 45 points. I don't think it's a big deal really, would be a bit of a long winded question if he said "Do you think you can get to 40 points and be safe although in some years you may need 41 and in one freak one you needed 43 so above that should be fine, but really you probably only need 38 points to be safe, so do you think you will reach any of these number of points? | | | |

No not a big deal, but I've never heard 45 points mentioned as a target before today! | | | |

They should change it to pints.
The amount of pints to safely say I'm pissed... 10 usually. | | | |

Anyway, I didn't think you took much notice of this points malarkey!  | | | |

Cracking effort! After 7 I'm drowning and eyeing off the Rum. | | | |

I haven't but it makes sense.
You can and people have gone down with 40 - they never have with 45.
40 by and large should be good enough but isn't cast iron guarantee. | | | |

You got to in the groove really. Last Saturday for example I managed to get through 10 pints of Real Ale having started at 4:50pm for the Rugby.
I do sometimes go on the Rum which the only spirit I can really handle as a follow on. As long as it's not Captain Morgan, he drinks me into a world of hurt every time. The Havana Anjos 7 is my fave or The Kraken. | | | |
