[Archived] The Relegation Scrap Hots Up

[USABlue]

Wigan are in dire form right now. The sort of confidence sapping results that make me think they are toast. I fancy both WHam adn Charlton to make a fist of it and I too see Fulham as a late drop candidate. If the new players do not settle/adapt quickly they could be in the muck right quick.

I'd love to see Sheffield United stay up as they are the team furthest behind us in terms of quality. I'd most like to see West Ham go down as they are certainly underperforming and with their new financial strength could easily pass us in years to come.

Agree on the second point, but on the first point, I'd have to submit Watford as the team with the lowest overall quality in the premiership. Loads of effort and endeavour, but in the final reckoning, Just Not Good Enough (as well as desperately unlucky). They're gonners, though while Sheffield still have a chance.

I thought I'd have a bit of fun, and dredge up this beaut of a thread since the Bolton win did put us on the magical 40 mark!

Amazing how seasons can turn round when you get a bit of confidence and score a few goals isn't it? You look back at games like Middlesbrough and Liverpool at home and think that if they hadn't gone our way we could be the ones crying now.

Very similar to the last 2 seasons. It'd be nice to start before December sometime.

Put a bet on at the start of the season for McCarthy for finsh in the top 4 Prem League goalscorers.

Will rake in £500 if it comes off!!

Drogba Chelsea 18

Ronaldo Man Utd 16

McCarthy Blackburn 12

Yakubu Middlesbrough 12

I actually win £1,000 if the McCarthy bet comes off. A friend came in on the bet with me, so £500 each.

Still a long way to go though.....

Who thought we'd be in relegation trouble?

Now if next season we can just start playing before Christmas we'll be challenging for the title
