    Jol's in no trouble at all, because I'm pretty sure the paperwork is already signed.

    Crystal Palace have kept themselves in touch of safety with that win. I admit to being surprised at seeing West Ham down there...spent money on wrong players I suppose...paid far too much for Carroll with his injury problems.

    Thing is it Fran. WHU's traditional top division position is between 10th and 17th anyway. They are a bit like Saints have been in the past and have hopeful consigned to the past now. They're not under performing. This is pretty much what WHU do, and finishing above mid-table is not that usual for them. So it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Being WHU, they'll probably stay up fairly comfortably though.

    Two massive games at the bottom this weekend. Real 6 pointers with West Ham hosting Fulham and Palace away at Norwich.

    We (Norwich) have got to win this weekend to build up our confidence.
    If we don't start doing something very soon, I fear we will go down this year.
    I hope there are 3 teams much worse than us come the last few games of the season, because our run in is not very nice at all.
    We could well have a say in who wins the league and who makes the top 4.

    Our run in from the beginning of March is:
    Villa (A)
    Stoke (H)
    Saints (A)
    Sunderland (H)
    Swansea (A)
    WBA (H)
    Fulham (A)
    Liverpool (H)
    Man Utd (A)
    Chelsea (A)
    Arsenal (H)


    Out of that little lot I am struggling to see us picking up no more than 7 points :(

    That last 4 is really tough. You need to have a few points in hand by then.

    More than a few I think mate.
    A I said, I honestly can't see us picking up more than 7 points out of that little lot.

    Even being generous I can't see many more than 10. That said Im pretty sure there are 3 worse teams than Norwich. Sunderland and Palace for a start. Fulham look dire and West Ham have no strikers.

    Bloody hell mate. You're more optimistic than a lot of City fans, thinking we might get 10 <laugh>.

    Hope you're right about there being 3 teams worse than us come the end of the season mate.
    Would much prefer us to stay up by our own ability, rather than rely on there being 3 teams worse than us though.

    I would back Norwich to have a decent run at some point, even against the big teams. On your day you're more than a match for anyone in the Premier League.

    I would be absolutlely astonished if you go down personally.

    More Andy Carroll rumours flying aout on Twitter that his career is done, still think West Ham could have serious problems without goals.

    Heard a rumour earlier that Man City are supposedly interested in Bergovic from Stoke.
    if that did happen, would Stoke be buggered, or would Hart go as a swap?

    Hart would never go to Stoke, neither would City let him go.

    Stoke have Butland remember so may well let Begovic go.
