privateer Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I think they will go down tbh. It's more hope than think for me. They are in a precarious position but unfortunately I think they'll stay out of the drop zone. However, I dearly want to see a repeat of their crash out of the PL a couple of years ago. Looking like they'll escape then have a God-awful run along with other results working against them and down the toilet on the last day of the season. Actually, I'd like their demotion sewn up long before then but I think that's a wish too far! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Nah they're 4 points away from the death zone , should stay up unless they self implode (fingers X'd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted February 17, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2013 Next to no chance of them going down, they will pick up enough points to stay out of it and the teams below them aren't picking up enough to over take them. It is what happens in the summer though that will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 They ain't going down unless they get a points deduction from going into admin which ain't gonna happen. Marlon king will keep them up alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted February 17, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2013 I can't see administration happening before the deadline for a points deduction this season, it is far more likely that they either start next season with a deduction.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Why is everybody so confident the shit will stay up? They're sinking like a stone, dressing room is a disaster area and the manager is completely **** clueless. The gap is getting smaller, game by game. Contrary to reports above, those below them are capable of winning a few. It's the nature of that division. They're 4/1 to go down. Edited February 17, 2013 by dont_do_it_doug.

OutByEaster? Posted February 17, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'm hoping for relegation, followed by a ten point deduction for administration, which gets upped to 30 for telling porkies on the accounts, leaving them facing a real battle to survive in league one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Strange to think they are probably saying the same about us (of course, yes we are a league above) but we are a) looking like we will go down, financially unable to compete (but not as serious as their issues). Our drop is bigger than theirs, they are a lower league team, we are a big club (being run like a small one). So, I find it hard to laugh at them when our situation is quite a disaster too.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) you are right dk No he isn't. This is the same billy big bollocks club that a little under two years ago were giving it the "I am" about how they were the pride of the midlands. The same charlatan outfit that have commemorative mirrors made when they beat us, that still wear those same commemorative t-shirts to this very day. They've no idea of their place, they're a tin pot lower league club with absolutely **** all of value going for them. Our financial situations aren't comparable, not in the slightest. Yes, we overstretched and we're paying the price. But administration? Pull the other one. We're nowhere near "doing a Leeds" and even if we were the likes of Leeds and Aston Villa will rise again. The shit will always be exactly that, full of it. I'd take our chances in the Championship with 30,000 fans roaring the lads on every week. We've taken those lumps before and always came back. We'll win things again, its only a matter of time. They'll be rooted in league one for years should they drop, that's if they ever come back. There's always room in my life to have a good chuckle at that **** pus ridden shambles of a "football club".

AValon Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Talking to the only bloser in our town this morning, he was adamant the shit had'nt even begun to hit their particular fan yet. He was also pretty sure we would avoid the drop and was raving about how CNZ was playing lately. He is'nt your typical nose tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary to reports above, those below them are capable of winning a few. It's the nature of that division. They're 4/1 to go down. Only that isn't true. Yesterday's defeat was their first defeat in 5 games having won 2 and drawn 2 of the previous 4 so despite the defeat yesterday and all their other problems they aren't sinking like a stone. I agree their dressing room is a disaster area and their manager is clueless but it is simply incorrect to say they are dropping like a stone. It is also untrue to say the gap between them and relegation is getting smaller game by game, sure it got smaller yesterday but over the previous 4 games they had actually pulled away from it. They currently sit 4 points away from the drop zone which is about the same as it has been for a month or two. Obviously teams below them are capable of winning, I just don't think a team that has lost one in five is a disaster area or a team about to go on a slide down the table into the relegation zone. Sadly they have enough decent players to still pick up enough points to stay clear of at least 3 teams below them. It isn't impossible that they will go down but I'd personally say it isn't all that likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2013 Oh Lord, Look, I know I'm an atheist and everything, and you won't be listening, seeing as how you you don't exist, but... If you could see your way clear to arrange it for small heath to be relegated, I promise you'll I'll... well nothing, really. But I'd really appreciate it. Ta. I mean, er, amen.

So even with that somewhat good recent form, they're only 4 points above the relegation zone. That gives me even more hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 arent peterborough in good form. havent checked results for a while but before christmas they were rock bottom and now a lot closer to safety. I think a 0-4 defeat at home could destroy their morale completely and another few results liek this and they could be in trouble and then maybe rehire McLeish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
