More by luck than judgement though ez, and that's the scary part! Still, we've got away with it, I just hope that Randy is paying attention to what's happened at Blackburn because that could so easily be us a year fom now!
I'm trying to remember when we last moved up the table. Was it after the Fulham game? I remember us being 13th and 15th and now 16th. Thats why i think if we dropped into the bottom three we wouldn't have got out.

I must admit to having voted 'yes' after the Bolton game. That was the the first, and only, time that I thought it likely.

Same here.

I never thought we were doomed to relegation, but I never understood why so many people seemed so unbothered by the prospect, as if it were beyond possibility (and I don't just mean at the end when it came down to QPR needing to beat Man City).

What did make me shit myself, though, was watching Bolton score twice in seconds in that match.

It wasn't just the "oh god, we're going to lose" thing, it was more along the lines of "thats exactly the sort of thing that happens to a club getting dragged to an unlikely relegation" (and it came on top of a sequence of incredible results from some of the other bottom clubs).

Yes, it was the lowest point for me. I don't need to elaborate, we all felt the same.

But we survived. Bolton may not. Fuck them.

Yep Coyle and his ugly nasty looking snarl look good to drop.

I can honestly see Bolton staying up. Stoke aren't finishing the season too strongly and QPR could very well get their arses smacked at Manchester City.
