Yes, they're usually quite obliging in the whole relegation stakes.

Watched MOTD2 in local pub tonight and couldn't help myself when Fulham scored. Was warned to keep quiet as the Noses know what's going to happen next week. Happy days

What do Blose fans make of McLeish then at the moment? He delivers their first proper trophy since before most of them were born but is on the brink of taking them down. I actually think he's a decent manager.

They're not a terrible side like most relegated teams are, (i.e. the play to their strengths, decent defence, don't give goals away, combative midfield. Blunt enough attack admittedly), I'm not sure how they've managed to get into this position.

McLeish has build a side to be defensively strong and squeak a 1-0 win.  Losing Dann this year has been a massive blow.  They've not been so tight at the back and their strikers are shite. Jerome & Zigic.

Consequently they're lucky they're not already down.

I think Stoke play to their strengths, but watching MOTD2 last night I really did think Blues already look like a Championship side, whilst all the teams around them are capable of playing football.

I have watched them 3 times live this season and live on the telly on about 20 occasions and how anyone can support any area of their play I will never know. They have 3-4 quality Premier league players and the rest are has beens or dross.

The only games I can say they genuinely deserved to win are Blackpool away and The League Cup final, on both occasions playing with attacking intent from the off. The manager and his negative tactics are the problem and many of the Noses I know begrudgingly acknowledge this.

Anti- football deserving of Championship status!

I can barely remember a goal they've scored that hasn't been scrambled, a set piece, or a result of some massive defensive ineptitude.

Even when they gained promotion they were a cure for insomnia.

They're a pox on this league. They offer nothing.

Surely Blues fans love McLeish - possibly two trips to Wembley in two years ... well if they dont move the play off finals to Old Trafford because of the Olympics

Lowest number of goals scored in the PL this season, lowest number of shots on goal, lowest number of corners.

They wouldn't be missed.

Blues go down, Blues go down, Blues go down together.
Come back up.
Win a cup.
Go back down forever.

I really do fear for them if they go down. Yeung hasn't got a pot to piss in and they would struggle to survive as a business without PL money.
Their better players will be off regardless but if they go down they'll be in huge trouble. They may go into administration and/or freefall into league 1.
Their only hope would be another takeover and the only guy they could attract last time was a Hong Kong hairdresser pretending to be super rich.

They really do need to win that game against Spurs rather than roll over and get shafted like they did against Fulham. Good luck with that.

This weekend's set of results really was the 'Perfect Storm' as far as the Rags are concerned.
We just need Karma to keep it going for 90 more mins on Sunday and send those fuckers down.

We should rub salt into the wounds & sign Foster & Dann when they go.

Might as well name some others...

From West Ham I'd take Green, Collison & Parker
From Wigan I'd have NZogbia.
From Blackpool I'd have Adam.
