'Noses Going Down?
« on: May 14, 2011, 03:28:11 PM »
As we get half-way through the penultimate weekend of the season, Blues seem to be in a very precarious position,
                           
                             GP         PTS

15   Blackburn         37      40
16   Wolves         37      40
17   Birmingham    36      39
-------------------------------------------
18   Blackpool         37      39
19   Wigan         36         36
20   West Ham      36      33


If blues fail to overcome Fulham at the Sty tomorrow, then things could get very tricky for the 'noses, particularly if Wigan beat West ham, which could put Blackpool, Blues, and Wigan all joint on 39 points in 17th, 18th, and 19th going into the last day.

Last day fixtures:
Wolves     -     Blackburn
Man Utd      -   Blackpool
Stoke         -    Wigan
Tottenham -    Blues
                   
                                 
For me, Blues would have the hardest time, as United and Stoke will have nothing in particular to play for, whereas Spurs will be battling for 5th place. Though meanwhile Wolves and Blackburn, who are going to be joint on 40 points play each other, furthering the complications.

Going to be a very interesting last day, and here's to hoping the all mighty League Cup champions are playing second tier football next season.

Thought that we'd had enough of "pack your bags and pull out the map to Doncaster" mentality on here :P

Plus, I'm fairly certain we won't go down, unless the footballing gods hate us as much as we think think they do.

Agree with Paulie - three points ahead of the Noses, and both of us with fixtures as tricky as each other. You may say Fulham and Tottenham have nothing left to play for. Reminds me of Arsenal and Liverpool.

We are safe!

We could only go down on goal difference and the most unlucky set of results ever.

Without wanting to sound all Kevin Keegan, I would love it if Blues went down. It wouldn't make up for our own shit season, but it'd give me some kind of small nugget of satisfaction.

As for the ridiculous suggestions that we could go down, really? Don't be daft.

I don't think I could be any more obvious.
