How do you lose 4-0 to Wigan away (and get absolutely ripped apart) then go and beat Chelsea 2-0 away?

its called a response. This usually happens with every team bar ours after a heavy defeat. Its been so long since we had one that we've all forgotten what one is.

Tottenham putting in four behind Bolton still leaves us with a theoretical chance of staying up, although this season has almost gotten bad enough for me to see that as a promise of more crushed hopes rather than a positive thing.

Remember when we nearly signed this guy

Stunning

I was listening to the Chelsea FM radio commentary (satellite radio in the USA generally has a game on), the co-commentator immediately started dismissing it as a fluke whislt the other bloke was singing high praise. I thought that the "expert" was trying his best to minimise it.

I got home and saw it on the TV. It was no fluke.

Of course it was a response, but how did they play so badly against Wigan? It's not like it was a lucky 4-0, Wigan absolutely destroyed them.

We still have a chance. IF we can somehow beat Wigan and get a point against Chelsea there is a decent chance that we will be staying up. If we can beat Wigan by a couple and only lose to Chelsea by a goal then there is also a slim chance that we stay up. I wouldn't be on us being in the league next season, but hopefully the players realise that if results go our way on Sunday and we then do the business on Monday that we will go into the final day with a good chance of saving ourselves.

We are still in desperate need of QPR and Bolton not winning emminently winnable looking games this Saturday and the results at the top end knocking Chelsea out of contention for 4th whilst keeping City in the title hunt on the last day. A not impossible but highly unlikely combination of results this weekend.

I think what works for us is that our game is on Monday, so by then we will know exactly where we, and everyone else, stand and our future could be firmly in our hands.

If either Bolton or QPR win then it's definitely game over.

City's win on Monday means that they will be in the title hunt on the final day of the season.

Chelsea are virtually out of the running for 4th place, so now only have the FA Cup and Champions League finals to focus on. There is a decent chance that they may rest players against us (although their numerous CL suspensions limits the need for that) or, in the very least, be slightly switched off.

If we go into the final day level on points with both Bolton and QPR then I will begin to feel rather good. The big set of results will be this weekend. If QPR and Bolton fail to get anything from two decent fixtures then our fate is nearly back in our own hands. I've made myself look like a fool before, but I simply cannot see QPR getting anything from the final day and their goal difference could take a serious hit. Bolton could pick something up on the final day, but if we can at least go into that last match with some hope then we stand a decent chance.

Having said all this, I felt exactly this same feeling after we got the win against Norwich and it was immediately destroyed by QPR's win against Spurs. I have this horrible feeling that at least one of QPR and Bolton will pick something up this weekend, quite possibly both.

In my head I consider ourselves down, but at least there is still a glimmer of hope.

We already know. Win both games and hope.

City 0-0 at Newcastle half time.

Lots of yellow cards n first half and Howard Webb in charge, so can see this being decided by a dodgy red or penalty.

Bolton lead

Fat lady warming up

Keith Andrews fouls Kevin Davies for penalty.
