Who's left in the Battle

[nick harper]

Sunderland will pull one or two results out when you least expect it - O'Neill drags those kind of performances out of his sides.

I think we may need 10 points given our GD.

And we could even relegate them at Villa Park.

I do still worry for us and still think we've got a way to go before we can be confiodent of staying up. For me its 3 from QPR, Reading, Wigan, Southampton, Sunderland and us.

Agree with this although Southampton seem to have hit a bit of form and seem well organised.

Southampton have 1 win in 8.

Well given the new level of optimism, positivity, performance levels and the fixtures left in our run in, if we can't get enough points from some of those games we don't deserve to stay up.

IMO I can see the improvements throughout the team I think that by the time we go to Wigan we'll be going for a jolly good knees up with nothing to worry about

Have they? Didnt they beat Man City last week and Liverpool this?

To include the Man City game, they have 2 wins in 9.

I see Lawro in the Mirror is still tipping us to go down with Reading & QPR. With Wigan staying clear of the drop despite being 3 points behind us.

Evidently Sunderland, Southampton et-al have nothing to worry about.

Well heaven forbid he'd ever actually give something some thought before it emanates from his head.
"Shit, I've gotta get that article emailed off in five minutes! Where's that league table? Right, bottom two, they'll do, Wigan's goal difference is better than Villa's, bound to win their game in hand, so let's have them in there too.
And......send.
Phew, almost didn't get paid there!"

It's easy to knock Lawro, but it's a valid opinion and could quite easily bear true.  Just because it doesn't fit with some new found optimism here, I could certainly see Wigan finishing above us - they are masters at escaping.  Whether anyone else is a better bet to get dragged down other than us, well that is speculative.  Hopefully he'll be proved wrong, but mocking him for a perfectly plausible prediction is tempting fate I think.  Anybody would think we're already safe!

That flaming Wigan result yesterday still irks me.  The winner was fcukin so jammy as well.  QPR and Reading are gone in my view, which means, it is either us, Wigwam, Southampton or Sunderland for the drop....again in my view.

Relative to the teams around them they are in decent form, only a few teams in the bottom half have more points from the last 12 games.

Two, and against Liverpool and Man City. One of theie losses was against Man U aswell. There form looks OK, and is probably better than the results suggest.

As long as our form remains bette than there's, I don't mind. I think we need the chance to go down to Southampton and smash them all over the place for a bit of revenge anyway for such utter diving, cheatery.

I hope Southampton get relegated just because the city centre was almost completely devoid of decent pubs and their fans were lairy, gobby wankers

I remember them getting a good hiding by a load of blokes dressed up as the Mario Brothers, Batman, Spiderman et al a few years a go.

Most surreal football violence I have ever seen.
