How many points will keep us up?

[Irish villain]

4 points from Stoke and Fulham and 4 points from Norwich and Sunderland and that's us safe I reckon. I think we'll get a draw off liverpool aswell.

I'd take that. A draw against Wigan on the final day to leave us on 40 points and about 14-16th...

[Russ aka Big Nose]

I've just done the predictor and we finish in 14th on 39pts. That includes us losing 2-1 at Wigan on the last day - which is a shame as the win keeps them up. I don't like Wigan as they offer very little to the league.

If I got to choose - QPR, Sunderland and Wigan would be relegated.

[Malandro]

I'm predicting:

18th Sunderland
19th QPR
20th Reading

perhaps MON wants to get a team relegated like old big 'ead

[OCD]

Redknapp and O'Neill relegated - that would be t'riffic. The media would be gutted.

MON will never be relegated. He will walk out before then. (In my opinion).

[*shellac*]

Yeah agree. I don't buy the 'Wigan are guaranteed to go on an end of season run' stuff but there are at least 3 more likely teams to finish below us IMO, besides qpr and reading.

I hope they suffer relegation and the honour of being walloped 9-0 in the final.  Cnuts.

[Des Little]

If we are safe before the final day, I wouldn't give a flying fcuk what happens at the DW.  I'll be too pissed to notice anyway.

The whole bottom half of the table is at risk. Probably only Reading are definitely down. Don't write QPR off yet, they have lots to do but probably the easiest fixtures of anyone. Like everyone else I relish Sunderland dropping into it but don't rule out West Ham , Norwich or Stoke being in the frame either - all are in poor form at the wrong time. A point next week against the scousers is very important to maintain momentum.

[damon loves JT]

Reading are about 20-1 on to go down. QPR 5 or 6 to 1 on. Wigan are evens and we are between 7-4 and 2-1 against. Sunderland 4-1 are the next shortest price.

Probably back in this thread somewhere, but weren't sunderland something like 25-1 just a few weeks back?

[SoccerHQ]

Must say that late Wigan goal has worried me a little bit.

Without it Wigan would've been 5 points off us with their game in hand being Man. City away.

Now if they beat Norwich at home in their next game they'll go above us for at least a day and incredibly despite winning our two "six pointers" we'll be back in the bottom 3!

Just worry that might deflate our players a little bit just when we've got some momentum finally to the season.

I fancy Norwich to get a draw. I can see them grinding their way to safety with a lot of draws as we did.

[N'ZMAV]

Norwich are decent. I quite like Hughton.

Well Wigan had a months worth of luck yesterday so if there is any justice they will lose.
We need to just think about the 3 wins we need and sod the other teams. Confident of beating Fulham and winning at either Stoke or Norwich so I reckon one more from somewhere

It's up to the coaching staff to stress that if we do re-enter the bottom three, it's only relevant if we're still there at six o'clock on 19th May.
