Factfinder Forty points, not far to go now, but remember, forty points represents statistical safety NOT absolute safety.

Surely if we are statistically safe, we're safe
Although that might require more than 40 points

I think what the original poster is probably saying is that statistics to date show that more often than not teams with 40 points stay up. However teams have also not stayed up with 40 points. Therefore statistical safeness at this point in time does not represent an absolute position of safety.
I do hope that goes some way towards clearing this matter up. I have a poor record statistically in this respect however.

Three teams have gone down with forty or more points since season 1995 -96 when the Prem became a 19 team league.

if its a 19 team league then we'll definitely require less than 40........

A good indication of the number of points needed for safety will be in three matches time when everyone has played each other once.
At present West ham have 14 lets assume they draw one, lose one and win one in the next three games. Then they'll be on 18 point meaning that 36 is likely to be the target for survival (if you double up the points).....
however I do think that you'll need all of the 40 points to stay up this year..... as everyone is picking up points off everyone else its likely that a higher point total will be required than in the last couple of years.

Northern Git Think statisticules or whatever mean nothing.
Three teams have gone down with forty or more points since season 1995 -96 when the Prem became a 19 team league.
West Ham 42, Bolton 40 (on goal diff ) and Sunderland 40 all went down.
WBA stayed up in 2005 with 34 points!
Avr to stay up 39 points, Avr to go down 36
All in all 40 points means sod all!
