(Or how we can stay up explained) Saw this on Watrb and thought it was very clear comparison of our respective games and think it's interesting. Hope the link works; it's the post by BrightonR. http://www.watrb.com/forum/showthread.php?t=135002&page=2
It's still impossible to predict. Without looking at the link he probably has Bolton to get something at Villa and a point against Spurs but they're quite capable of anything from two heavy losses to six points from those games. I personally think they'll get two, and a further six which we will match and stay up on GD, but there's absolutely no way of knowing what will happen. Chelsea might rest players against us and we could pick up a bonus point there. City might be on the beach by May. Tony Pulis might for the first time in his career realise that the season doesn't end in March and give a **** about his team beyond them getting 40 points.
The link won't work, don't know why, but he has us beating Spurs and Stoke, that's it. Bolton draw with Swansea and Spurs, and beat West Brom and Stoke. We stay ahead on GD, provided we don't suffer heavy defeats at ManC and Chelsea. That's the bones of it, and it seems plausible.
As Watford says there are far too many permutations. And I think a run-in is irrelevant. I said many times on this forum I had Wigan down as relegation certainties a month ago yet they have turned it around and won 3 from 4 against the big 4. It is conceivable (but unlikely) QPR could win at our place or the Etihad. No matter what happens vs Barca I am sure we will be resting players for the Newcastle game and FA Cup. City away is the only fixture I'd look at and say you will lose with absolute certainty just because they are too good at home and when the pressure/expectation is off they are devastating. As for Bolton I think they have a realistic chance of getting something in any of their games, same for Wigan now. One thing I would say is this though, Blackburn can be assured of a tough game from us on the last day because for many of our senior players I'm sure it will be their last ever game's as Chelsea players at Stamford Bridge. If we get knocked out of the CL by Barca as expected, I think league games against us become far harder and us and Spurs affect things hugely at the bottom.
I have them overtaking us even if we get 6 points, we can only hope we do get the 6 points and they screw up but i think we are as good as down if we lose this weekend.
I see Bolton getting two wins and two draws from their last 6. That would put them on 37 points. Win our two home games and we stay up on GD. It's not all over yet. Saturday is huge!!!
Silly sods what about Blackburn and Wolves ... It's still a lottery Wigan could have got their last point now we may take 12 its all possible so all you jotting down is frankly bollocks People's heads are full of online betting and screen pundits ... Just stand behind the team and do all you and I can do .. Support them
This is the only way we escape. All other permutations are such long shots its delusional. Give Spurs a beating and we're still alive.
Dave....you keep on coming out with guff like this! This is a DISCUSSION forum. Many of us are discussing the possible twists and turns ahead. Even my missus was trying to look ahead with the league table this morning!! If you don't want to discuss these things....may I suggest you don't bother reading the forum or contributing to it?
The same wolves that have won once in 21 games and that was against us, the same wolves who just lost their #1 keeper for the season? In other threads, he was banging on about how wed stay up. Now we cant even consider the worst team as down. I wish hed make his mind up.
Realistically I think we'll probably only get 4 points which'll put us on 35 & with our goal difference means Bolton will need another 7 points point from 6 games which doesn't look good.
I read most the posts on here and I am allowed to comment as good as the next man. Can't most people see that many people are evolving into fickle stereotypes ... Win it's great Draw the players are useless Lose the team is crap and you are picking at straws . This is great I am loving the excitement and also QPR have a great team at the moment What else can anyone say apart from I hope we win our next game and I hope the others around us lose
2 wins & a draw from our 3 remaining games in London and we will be ok. There that's positive!!!!!! Keep the faith. Up the R's
Of course you're allowed to comment....but you keep deriding people who are getting caught up in the excitement you describe for discussing the future possibilities!!
