    With Wigan, Fulham and Bolton all leading at half time, QPR drawing at the emirates and that incredible win at old trafford for Blackburn earlier today, the bottom of the league could look bum squeakingly tight by 5pm.

    Would love to see us get a point tomorrow but fear defeat and it will make Tuesday nights game really, really important.

    Every game seems to be a cup final for us at the minute and I guess for the next 10 games at least that will continue to be the case.

    Wolves equalizer. Fletcher yet again. His record in the last 20 games is remarkable really.

    We are most certainly in a relegation struggle! The game on tuesday against Wigan is too quick after Sundays game with ****eeh, where we will be lucky to get a point.

    We do need urgently need results and less of poor ref decisions and although there are rumours flying about players nothing concrete as yet, I expect Uncle Niall is out there busy trying to land a deal, I think we need at least two players capable of scoring goals!

    Talk about getting worried before anything happens. I wouldn't be surprised if none of these teams win, including Blackburn :p

    Well, Wigan draw, Bolton and wolves draw, QPR get beat and Fulham draw as well. I'd have taken that at 3pm.

    If we beat Chelsea again, I reckon Villas Boas will get the boot imo. Lol

    Still 3 points better off than Wigan. No pressure on us but plenty on Man city

    I kind of agree mate, City will be expected to win and pull away, I fancy MON to play a master stroke.

    You're right Cest. We had too bad a start for it to get better in one or two games. Squeaky bums for some time yet I think. If anything tomorrow's job is harder now - Man. C. know if they murder us they can put daylight between them and United. They'll be up for that. But let's just look at the long haul and keep our nerves.

    I'm not expecting anything other than a defeat tomorrow, however on Tuesday I'm expecting a debt to be repaid in full with a net result of 3 points.

    The prob;em we have, well I have, is getting used to our team being committed and fighting all the way, they are now but just cant get used to it.

    Who knows what will happen, we all expect defeat but we all expected wins during our easy run.

    Sunderland Sam/Smithy in NL - I'm not so sure we're in dispute here. If we play a 'weakened team' tomorrow with e.g. Dong-won and Kilgallon in it, I wouldn't object to that. Neither of those lads have exactly had a fair deal here - poor old Kilgallon's been waiting for two years! If MON gives them their chance tomorrow they might just go on that field knowing that a good performance against City will make them very hard to drop. They might just go out there and give City a very nasty surprise. So let MON work his psychology, and let's sit tight for the moment, eh?
