    Just wondered who people think will go down. Not strictly a Spurs matter, but we still have an input to make.

    Current Table
    15 Aston Villa 35 -14 36
    16 QPR 35 -18 34
    17 Wigan 35 -26 34
    18 Bolton 34 -28 33
    19 Blackburn 35 -26 31
    20 Wolves 35 -41 23

    Wolves have already gone, so which 2 to join them. With Blackburn, Bolton and Villa about to take hammerings <whistle>

    Blackburn
    Tottenham V Blackburn
    Blackburn V Wigan
    Chelsea V Blackburn

    Bolton
    Sunderland V Bolton
    Bolton V Tottenham
    Bolton V West Brom
    Stoke V Bolton

    Wigan
    Wigan V Newcastle
    Blackburn V Wigan
    Wigan V Wolves

    QPR
    Chelsea V QPR
    QPR V Stoke
    Man City V QPR

    Villa
    West Brom V Aston Villa
    Aston Villa V Tottenham
    Norwich V Aston Villa

    My Final Table
    15 Wigan 38 -21 41
    16 QPR 38 -18 38
    17 Bolton 38 -30 37
    18 Aston Villa 38 -17 36
    19 Blackburn 38 -28 32
    20 Wolves 38 -41 23

    This is predicated on Wigan beating Newcastle, QPR taking a point off Chelsea and Spurs winning all 3 relevant games <yikes>. What do you think (apart from Bolton, Blackburn and Villa all having 3 more points than I predict <wah>)

    I hope Villa get relegated as they are such a pointless team, aside from that I hope bolton stay up as coyle seems like a good bloke and has potential to be a good manager.

    I think Wigan will stay up as they're coming into form at the right time (and Martinez has experience of the business end of the season), and I think Bolton and Blackburn are showing a certain amount of fight - although if Blackburn and Bolton fail to show up against us, I'll gladly take the flak for being a Jonah for a day or two.

    As for a prediction...
    QPR
    Villa
    Wolves

    Villa deserve to go down, just because of the options that they have available and the negative tactics of their manager.
    Their performance at WHL was one of the most gutless and disappointing displays that I've ever seen.
    They settled for a 2-0 loss.

    I'm happy for them to settle for that at Villa Park!

    I'd be fine with relegating two Brummie sides in two seasons.

    If Brum get promoted, they'll be hoping we don't play them in May next season, that'll be for sure!

    i think it'll be

    QPR
    Blackburn
    Wolves.

    but I hope it's

    Villa
    QPR
    Wolves.

    I have always liked martinez, and he continues to do a good job season after season, at a club he is far better than. Coyle seems like a great bloke (like The boss says) and Steve kean has had a tough time this season, and I admire his determination, despite all the fans turning against him. I would have stuck 2 fingers up at that sort of abuse. - therefore I hope Wigan, Bolton and Blackburn stay up.

    O, and mark Hughes is a C*ck and Villa are just W*nk

    I thought it would be qpr and Blackburn but I think villa are useless enough to go down instead of qpr now. Obviously spurs will have a massive say in it all!

    I like to go to away games but don't like travelling too far, so I'd be ok with QPR staying up, but I think they wil struggle to do so. Blackburn is always a good day out and the natives are usually pretty friendly, plus Robbo plays for them, so a part of me hopes they stay up. But when I think of how their muppet owners have damn nearly made a pigs ear of everything, then maybe it's best they do go down.

    As for Villa, I hope with all my heart they drop down. Their fans are some of the most obnoxious I have ever come across, Villa Park is nothing like the nice away ground it is portrayed as being and the team is absolutely cack to watch.

    Wigan will do well to survive, but they have a good man as chairman and Martinez also seems an honourable guy who has good footballing ethics. I had no strong feelings about Bolton until I saw the way their manager Owen Coyle, show real class over the way he dealt with the Muambo situation. I hope they survive but I fear for them.

    I think it will be Bolton and Blackburn who will join Wolves in going down.

    I'd love to see Villa go down, since MON jumped ship they've don't nothing except get weaker and play horrible football.

    Hope Wigan stay up so Martinez is on a high before he becomes Spurs boss in the summer.
    I don't mind Blackburn and feel sorry for all the stick Steve Kean has got so hope they stay up.


    QPR and Villa to join Wolves.

    I think it will be:

    Wolves, QPR (The mass of red cards will hurt them) & Blackburn

    I hope it will be:

    Wolves, QPR & Villa (Villa gave us so much S*** last time i hope it bites them in the A** this time around).

    Never know if villa come back then they might be stronger when they come back... Like with Newcastle it weeded out all of the Money Grabbers & Moaners (NZogbia) and left us with young talent to build on...

    Anyone remember Holt legend from the 606???
    If he was on this site I'd want villa dead and buried but as it is I kind of feel sorry for them...they were in the fight for 4th with us and city just 2 years ago!

    Would love for Villa to go down, just so that I can picture the look on Holte's ugly mug.

    QPR to go down too, they've annoyed me this season.

    Bolton, Blackburn and Wigan to stay up, as other have said I like their managers. If Martinez wasn't at Wigan I would definitely want them to go down.

    I concur with other's opinions about the three managers I'd prefer to survive. Unfortunately we need the 3pts off Bolton, so I hope we don't send them down... which is doubly sad as we gave 3pts to QPR!

    i hope Wigan survive..they are a well run club.

    i hope Bolton stay up so they cant use the Muamba incident as an excuse and make the fella feel like crap in the process.


    2 many london derbies...QPR can go....as for Blackburn...i like the way the players have rallied for Kean..and respect that...so not unsure as to who i want to go with Wolves and QPR.

    Based on a wage bill they couldn't sustain without Champions League football...without actually qualifying for the Champions League in the first place. The blame for that either lies with Lerner taking a massive gamble that didn't pay off (which he has been trying to remedy since) or with MO'N for bringing in players on wages that would stretch their wage structure to the limit.
