Safety by February?

We have been quite erratic this season, losing to Blackpool, Stoke, Blackburn etc but have amazingly beaten Arsenal, Chelsea (cup), Liverpool, Villa, Mackems (). Breaking down our next handful of games and my predictions:

 

Birmingham (Away) - Draw (1pt)

Man City (Home) - Draw (1pt)

Tottingham (Away) - Lose

Wigan (Away) - Win (3pt)

West Ham (Home) - Win (3pt)

Mackems (Away) - Draw (1pt)

 

I make that 9 from a possible 18. Which would sit us nicely at 31 points on the 16th January. 40 points is been touted as the point of safety.

 

I think we can have this done by mid February.

 

Especially if theres a bit of cash to spend, and we can find ourselves a pacy striker to partner Carroll.

 

What do you's reckon?

 

Is there a chance of getting a Europa League spot? I'm happy with safety, but at this rate, could we be in store for a little more if Pardew can steady the ship? (thats a big if). Its the first time he's beaten Liverpool, so lets hope he sticks with the roots set by CH.
