Also, had we drew against Bolton we'd be safe now. Just shows how close it is down there.

One more thing, I want to see experience v Spurs

Given
Cuellar - Dunne - Collins - Warnock
Herd - Clark
Gabby - Ireland - N'Zogbia
Heskey

If we can get that team out for the last two games I'll feel much happier.

Here's a nightmare scenario. We need a win against Norwich to stay up and a monster is chasing me down some winding stairs. I have a gun but it doesn't work. Then this beautiful woman drags me into her bedroom to escape and we make love, but I realise afterwards its my mate's mum and she has AIDS.

Then you're walking down the street and realise you have no clothes on.

We absolutely have to match or better Bolton's result against Spurs tomorrow, when we play them on Sunday.

If Bolton win or draw tomorrow and we draw or lose on Sunday we are going to go down IMO.

Citeh winning last night was massive, it means they'll have something to play for when they meet QPR on the final day. Should we pick up just 1 more point this season it means QPR have to beat Stoke at home and Man City away to finish above us.

Blackburn can not finish above us (realistically).

It's between us, Bolton and QPR IMO.

Don't worry about Bolton or Wigan, they can go above us and do us no harm, it's the QPR result on the weekend that we have to match, thereby keeping 3 points between us and them before the last game, in which case they'd need a massive win and us a massive loss for them to stay up because of our 'less bad' GD. We already know Blackburn can't catch us.

Because the QPR team that got annihilated on Sunday is suddenly going to spring into life against Stoke and Manchester City?

Well, they beat Spurs and battered Swansea in two of their previous three, as well as beating Arsenal and Liverpool in March, so I wouldn't count them out of getting something from either game.

I've been cheering Spurs on so much recently that I reckon I'm going to confuse myself on Sunday.

They might. And we might not get hammered by a Spurs side that hasn't won an away match since last year. There are lots of variables involved.

However, if we draw against Spurs (as per his apocalyptic scenario) then QPR HAVE to beat both Stoke and Man City. Without even taking into account what we do against Norwich.

So saying 'if Bolton win and we draw then we're going to go down' is utterly ridiculous.

There's been a lot of sweeping statements on here recently.

Oh bollocks. Does that mean I have to want those stripy pricks to beat Bolton?

Point for Spurs tommorrow and point for WBA will be fine.

QPR are excellent at Loftus Road, Stoke are very poor away so I think we should expect a QPR win this weekend.

But our saving grace will be I really can't see that QPR back 4 on Sunday suddenly turning into a Paul McGrath tribute act and keep out Aguero, Tevez, Silva etc.

They conceded 3 to City at Loftus Road  earlier this season.

QPR will win this weekend, and I have a horrible feeling that Bolton will get something tomorrow. I hope I'm wrong.

Bolton could easily get something tommorrow (Spurs have a ridiculously bad record up at the Reebok) and beat WBA at the weekend and 38 points for them will be enough I'd say.

The focus has to be QPR. I'm not sure about Sunday but I do believe we'll get at least a point at Norwich as I saw them against Liverpool and they really were on the beach, barely had a shot.

I just can't see QPR winning or drawing at Man. City, not when they've won 17 out of 18 home games this season, not when QPR haven't won away since November and have lost their last 6, not when that will probably be the game for City to win the league. I just can't and that game will save us.

We're too dull to go down. We could get relegated, but remain in the Premiership because no-one else would notice.
