Relegation?

[Richard E]

At least the Norwich Chief Exec can comfort himself with the knowledge that he held onto Wes Hoolahan in the January window. Hopefully he'll get a lot of satisfaction out of that as he watches his team at a Griffin Park next season.

I think we are probably safe, but as people are saying, the fact we are concerned about it, again, is unacceptable.

The club needs investment, it needs energised leadership and ambition at boardroom level, it needs a manager who can sort the basics of passing, moving, pressing, marking and have us playing something that passes for football.

It needs a brain, preferably one that understands football.

Updated.

For us to drop 2 of these clubs need to do the following (i'm pretty sure i've worked this out right) based on us getting 0 points from the last 3:

Fulham: 6 points from Stoke (a) and Palace (h) 

Norwich: 4 points (barring a 15 GD swing, if that should happen they would need 3 points) from Chavski (a) Arsenal (h)

Cardiff: 6 points from Newcastle (a) Chavski (h)

Sunderland: 3 points Manure (a) Bitters (h) Swansea (h)

That looks to me like Cardiff and Fulham are now in a position where they won't catch us.

We could be safe by the end of play next weekend really.  We could of course help ourselves by getting a positive result, but even if we don't, Cardiff and Fulham failing to win and Norwich losing at Chelsea will see us safe.

2 years ago I didn't renew immediately and the ticket office rang me (and, I'm sure, thousands of others) to ask why not. I was probably always going to renew but told them I wouldn't renew till McLeish went. They rang me the day he was sacked to ask whether I was reconsidering.

I certainly shan't be renewing this week, which is when the cash incentive expires, and the club's reminder to ST holders on Facebook has attracted a huge amount of anger and derision. I would guess that ST sales are/will be well down and that a few thousand fans well be registering their disapproval in this way.

Seems a bit daft to renew before we know what division we will be in any road, I'll almost certainly renew but I'm not paying premier league prices for championship football.

But............ what about those extra home games we'll get to see ?!?

The Chelsea win at Anfield could be massive for us.
It keeps Chelsea well in the hunt, and with games against norwich and Cardiff, you 'have' to fancy them to win both ?


I'm prepared to clutch at every bloody straw available.

Cardiff and Norwich both need to win both to go above us don't they. Chelsea won't lose both, so you'd say that's one of those two certain to finish below us.

Another result that we shouldn't give a shit about but need to

But it also means that Citeh need a win when they play us. I had hoped their season would be over by then....

Absolutely, imagine they if they had just the CL to play for....resting players, not wanting to get injured etc.

Norwich and Cardiff are gone, so only really Fulham to worry about as I think Sunderland will escape. Baggies still not quite safe yet.

I'd say the Bitters are safe, we're all saying we need 1 more point to be safe, they already have that extra point.

Stoke v Fulham is the big fixture. Fulham win that and we don't win v Hull it goes to the wire.

I hadn't thought of that, where did I put that cheque book..

Cardiff and Norwich are screwed.

Between us, Fulham and the Mackems now.

 Think Fulham will win next week

Thats the way i see it too. I doubt we'll get any more points this season, Cardiff & Norwich will stay below us, Sunderland will overtake us so its just really whether Fulham get the 2 wins. It's possible but pretty unlikely.
