BOF Posted May 3, 2012 Moderator Share Posted May 3, 2012 Blackburn can't catch us but they can stay up. It actually benefits us if they win out because it'll mean Wigan have dropped points in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I am less convinced than I was this time last week that we will get relegated (if that helps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioVilla Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Simple math would conclude that it will take something pretty incredible for us to get relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Two teams need 4 points to relegate us, that's assuming we also lose both games. Bolton need 4 off Stoke and WBA QPR need 4 off Stoke and City Simple as. FWIW I think Stoke shouldn't lose either. For those saying Stoke aren't bothered, they looked damn bothered vs Arsenal and Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Me too last Wednesday for the first time in my life I genuinely thought we were on our way to Championship and if the league were one game longer we probably still would be. However I think we will get one more point this season - and that means Bolton and QPR both have to win both games which I cant see happening. It is essential though that we get that point because I can easily see both of them getting 4 points. Football is mental remember. What is scaring me is if we lose on Sunday and they both win. Then Norwich, the week leading up to it and life in general is going to be pretty shitty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be City v QPR on one channel and United v Sunderland on t'other.I seem to remember them having a multi-channel of all the relevant games i.e. relegation ones too. So y'never know.

theunderstudy Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Aye, there's that. QPR are a poor poor side though, and Man City have one of the best squads assembled the PL has ever seen. They're at home (taken 52 points from 54) and QPR are away. (2 wins all season?) Surely you can't cock that one up City. if you do, I hope United win the title.

raf Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Sad to say it but I can't see us getting much from the spurs game apart from some more injuries going into the final match. With it being entirely possible qpr beat stoke at home the last game's going to be very nerve wracking even if it is highly unlikely they'll get anything from city.

pacbuddies Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 A very conceivable outcome could be that this weekend will see: Newcastle v Man City - Draw Villa v Spurs - Away Win QPR v Stoke - Home Win Bolton v Albion - Home Win Man Utd v Swansea - Home Win Wolves v Everton - Away Win Blackburn v Wigan - Draw That would leave Man City having to beat QPR on the last day whilst hoping that Man Utd draw or lose at Sunderland. The bottom of the table would then look like this before kick off on 13th May: Wigan - 38 pts Villa - 37 pts QPR - 37 pts -------------------------- Bolton - 37 pts Blackburn - 32 pts ® Wolves - 24 pts ® The relegation battle would then hinge on the outcomes of: Man City v QPR Norwich v Villa Stoke v Bolton Wigan v Wolves Wigan being the only home team amongst the group, and also being fortunate enough to be playing Wolves, should have no problem surviving. For the rest of us it could be a bumpy ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
