If he did relegate us I think he'd have to leave the country for his own safety

Is Scotland a different country ?

It may well be in a few years!

No matter what the results were yesterday, I still do not believe that we are going to go down. We'll survive, just, but in doing so it will simply highlight what a car crash of a season this has been and what an utter bloody mess the club is in, from top through to bottom.

6 points is massive at this stage with few games left, we are in a better position than last week,
I can't see the reason for the meltdown here


Wigan beating Man United might have something to do with it. Did anybody have them down for that particular three points? Or that QPR would give sexy Swansea a hammering? Oh, and our next game being at Old Trafford.


did anyone have us down for a point at Liverpool, no,

I did, I also thought we'd beat Stoke. Don't think we'll get relegated though.

If he does relegate us, and he does come here I'll be waiting for him.

It would take a major effort from 3 teams below us to get Villa relegated, Wigan and QPR are starting to look like they have the staying power, in fact Wigan look they are on a real roll and deserve to stay up.

So the question is have Bolton or Blackburn got anything in there locker that could see them rise up the placings, the idea that it may come down to Us v Bolton as a decider scares you shitless because I wouldn't bet against Bolton winning that.

Could we get relegated, well as long as its mathematically possible yes we could.

Blackburn have Yakubu, who on his day can be absolutely lethal.  Wolves are definitely down, I think Bolton will join them, then it's down to either Wigan, Blackburn or QPR to join them.  Think it'll be Wigan personally, with us staying up by a point or two.

I would agree about the margin of a 1 point or maybe 2 in us staying up, I think it will be that close.

What a sorry state.

Tough times for Owen Coyle.

In the first half of last season he was getting talked up as a star of the future.

Its for that reason I wouldn't completely rule him or Bolton out just yet, he was on the box the other day and looked a confident man to me.

He's another I'd take over Mcleish, but I can say that for most. We are in a sorry state at the moment, the fact we are still in a battle is appalling and indictment of our board and manager.

Makes you think twice about Lambert and/or Rodgers, doesn't it?

It does, but not if they'd be replacing the ginger Mourinho we currently have.

I have to say I have never rated Martinez, but I was looking at him closely last night and he seems really focused, just noticing how he was staying on top of the players, encouraging the players when they did well, applauding players when it merited it, he has empathy with his players so you would assume he will get the best from them although this season doesn't really show that.

He may be worth a shout if Wigan are relegated, but would he turn us down again, it don't look good on the old status for the club if we keep getting knocked back.

He only turned down our advances because he'd already agreed to stay at Wigan before we came calling.
Which I respect. If your word means nothing, you mean nothing.

Apparently he is leaving Wigan this summer regardless. I was initially against us appointing him last summer but compared to what we have now I wouldn't hesistate.

Rogers team looked decidedly shit from the first half I saw last night.
