    Now I think Norwich are doomed unfortunately.

    Thanks solely to Fulham, I do have serious doubts over my 'three from the promoted clubs and Norwich' pre-season prediction, but I'm still gonna stick with it.

    WBA could do with a win very soon, although tonight's point will be most welcome.

    We've got some big matches coming up, but if we play like we did against Southampton, yourselves and Palace, we'll be in deep trouble.

    We've also got the likes of Arsenal, Man Utd, & Man City to play.

    We've got key injuries to key players at the wrong time.

    Bloody nerve wracking all this.

    Can't stop you from wringing your hands Golaccio, but I think you'll be fine. You're too good a team, and Bruce is too good a manager.

    Now Norwich, on the other hand. I'd be worried.

    Yes Norwich are in big trouble as are Fulham. Anyone else in the bottom 10 could be the third to go. West Ham have had two good wins but still are nowhere near safe.

    Please let Sunderland be one of the relegated clubs.

    I will take great delight in seeing Poyet's miserable face should it happen.

    I would go for Norwich, Cardiff and Fulham at the moment, but in this season, who knows!

    Interesting to see what he does tonight selectioon wise at Man City. Does he risk injuries for Saturday against us or rest players in the knowledge they are highly unlikely to pick up a point. Think the fans will expect their strongest side.

    The top sides are all dropping points...look at Chelsea last night. Sunderland have to play their best side and hope for a point or three. After all, unlike us :( they still have the League Cup. PL safety is the only real prize.

    He can't rest people for tonight, that would be suicidal. Myself, I'm hoping for carnage.

    In Sunderland's position they can't just give up any game in the league. I expect they will have their best 11 out tonight with glue on their boots to hold them in position on their 18 yard line hoping for a point.

    Hopefully Man City will hit them for 7 demoralising them and at the same time taking out a couple with 'niggles' and Cattermole to get sent off for breaking Johnson's leg after them arguing about who's fault a goal was.

    Then Poyet to trip over whilst charging up to the 4th official and break his nose.

    Other than that I don't really care what happens :D

    Agree on Norwich. There last 4 PL games are against Liverpool(h) - Man Utd(a)- Chelsea(a) and Arsenal(h)..on the final day. Fulham also look doomed now and i will take Cardiff to make up the 3. We play them next on saturday week.

    Saints can now make 7th imo. Please win @ West Ham again on saturday week and help shut up big Sam. Lol.

    Yes, but when you play a team for the fourth time in a season and have still to register a win, doesn't that add a few "o's" to the soooooooooooo TSS?

    Edit: sorry, thought we were talking about Sunderland. In West Ham's case, it's the principle of the thing.
