Relegation Possibility

[ez]

Surely we will get one more win this season. Even poor sides get the occasional win.

[ozzjim]

QPR will beat Spurs I reckon Dave. And Chelsea come on the back of a night in Barcelona.

God this is all horribly edgy...so assuming Wolves are goners and ignoring Wigan, to get overtaken by 2 of Bolton, Blackburn or QPR then (assuming we lose ALL games & our goal difference doesn't get a hammering)

Blackburn - need 3 wins from Norwich (h), Spurs (a), Wigan (h), Chelsea (a)
QPR - need 5 points from Spurs (h), Chelsea (a), Stoke (h), Man City (a)
Bolton - need 7 points from Swansea (h), Villa (a), Sunderland (a), Spurs (h), West Brom (h), Stoke (a)

Win Saturday and it puts it pretty much all to bed and looking at other results.
Us, Bolton, QPR and Blackburn all play at home Saturday...big big day for us. The longer this goes on the worse we will get...(it seems)
My heart says we could be safe already (just), my head isn't so sure....

If he doesn't get them fired up for a game against an out of form Sunderland side, then he never will.

Convinced? No, neither am I...

Any one who thinks Sunderland wont be fired up for the game are deluded. It really does look like the bolton Game is pivotal. Lose that and we are down.

Which two of Spurs, Chelsea or Man City are QPR going to be beating?

I can see them beating Spurs at Loftus Road. Possibly, possbly a point at Chelsea, but nothing from Man City.

You're right, it's hard to see them winning two of those games. Mind you, how many points did people reckon Wigan would get at Arsenal and at home to Man United?

EDIT they also have Stoke.

Which of Liverpool away, Arsenal away, Chelsea away and Manure at home were Wigan going to be winning?

Stoke and Spurs.

[claret and blue blood]

that Wigan win has given Spurs a sniff of 3rd spot again, our last home game is against Spurs !

[richard moore]

QPR will beat Spurs I reckon Dave. And Chelsea come on the back of a night in Barcelona.

And Man City could have already lost out on the league, be secure in second place and be mentally on the beach

Not that I wish to argue with Dave because I bloody well hope he is right!

Yet they can't get anything from a mediocre West Brom team who weren't playing half their first team and have nothing left to play for?

[Irish villain]

Wigan winning at Arsenal has condensed the table. With them just below us, the points gap doesn't look so good. I think what it does, is massively increase the pressure on the team on saturday. If things don't go well then the crowd will get agtitated and the pressure will increase.
I think there is every chance we can get well and truly sucked into a 2 or 3 horse race to avoid the drop.

Sucked in? We've been in it for weeks. Going four months without a home win is relegation form.

[ozzjim]

Blackburn - need 3 wins from Norwich (h), Spurs (a), Wigan (h), Chelsea (a) 2 wins max
QPR - need 5 points from Spurs (h), Chelsea (a), Stoke (h), Man City (a) 2 wins, Spurs, Stoke
Bolton - need 7 points from Swansea (h), Villa (a), Sunderland (a), Spurs (h), West Brom (h), Stoke (a) 3 wins and a draw I reckon


To me, we need to get to 38, and from there will sit on the line. I have had a fiver at 15/1 on us dropping though.

And we are banking on our next 2 home games.

[PeterWithe]

Even if some posters dont think we are deep in a relegation battle I hope the players do.

[TonyD]

Sunderland is huge game for us.   AMs team selection and tactics for this game will show us if AM can keep us up. Poor team and Heskey and we will go down. 

[john e]

last time i looked we were 6 points clear, with as good a run in of fixtures as you could wish for, with difficult ties against Man Utd and liverpool out of the way,
its looking good

i'm so confident of staying up i will personaly donate £500 to this site if we go down, and no i have not had a drink.

our big problem is Alex Mcliesh not Relegation
