So the safety mark may be pushed down a bit, but if we finish with 33, we're most unlikely to survive - and won't deserve to.

Fair enough point, I accept that your take on the points deduction is the correct way to look at it, but I just cannot see those bottom 2 getting out of it! So I think we are safe this season - with a few more wins.
