I did think he was nice , but the crap he sprouts after every game,
Don't you think he knows his onions?

Are you implying he's a carrot-topped cabbage?
Not at all, my old bean.

Still think we will survive this season mainly because of the points we already have. Place us in the bottom three and i really doubt we'd be able to get out.
So what does that say about next season?

It makes Faulkners talk of the Europa league laughable for one.

I said when he was appointed if not relegated this year then next year, and the only brightness I can see on the horizon is that the promoted clubs will not be as good a vintage as this year's crop and we may have just enough to escape by the skin of our teeth again.

The 'skin of our teeth' this year being an 11 point gap at present.

that gap is closing and there are no signs that suggest anything else. I shall be dusting off my 'The end is nigh' sandwich board and seeing if I can't earn a little cash with the crystal ball.
F'eckin' 'ell.

If Faulkner and co. expected top 6 (The General mentioned 4th, then 5th, but that's what war can do to you) then surely McLeish has failed to live up to the boards expectations and should be bounced out at the end of the season.

I said when he was appointed if not relegated this year then next year, and the only brightness I can see on the horizon is that the promoted clubs will not be as good a vintage as this year's crop and we may have just enough to escape by the skin of our teeth again.

The 'skin of our teeth' this year being an 11 point gap at present.

Now down to 4 over Bolton and 5 over Blackburn QPR and Wigan. Only Wolves below that.
Liverpool at Anfield next.

And so who have QPR and Wigan got next, both away from home I presume?

Next five for all concerned:


Villa                 Qpr                 Blackburn        Bolton              Wigan
Liverpool (a)    Man Utd (a)     WBA (a)          Fulham            Chelsea (a)
Stoke               Swansea          Liverpool        Newcastle (a)   Man Utd
Man Utd (a)      WBA (a)          Swansea (a)   Swansea           Arsenal (a)
Sunderland       Spurs              Norwich          Villa (a)             Fulham (a)
WBA (a)            Chelsea (a)    Spurs (a)        Sunderland (a)  Newcastle

not a lot of optimism there as far as I can see

Blackburn's next game is home to Man U on Monday.

If they get anything out of that - I'll be very worried.
