Who do you want to stay up or go down. Despite being a soulless club of mercenaries, Rangers are a local team, so it is good if they stay up. I would rather Wigan Villa go down than our plastic neighbours, although FFP should stop any future club overspending to stay up like QPR are blatantly doing
i think Villa and QPR are likely going down not sure about the other but ive got a feeling in me that is say it might be Wigan going down this time as the likes of Reading and Southampton have taken points in key matcnes over the past few weeks . QPR - my as well declare themselves a PMC Villa - just look like they have accepted the drop already Wigan - at times look very good but they dont look like they have that end of season run from last season in them this season
Bucks, when we go to Wigan we make a weekend of it in Blackpool on the piss. It's only 40 mins on the train from Blackpool to Wigan. See how bad I am putting ideas in your head As for QPR being really serious they were shocking today. They were pulled to pieces and at 4-1 with 20 mins left we basically declared. I fully expect them to go down. They are the worst team I've seen all season long and that includes cup games against Barnsley, Boro and Crawley. We've scored 9 times against them this season, it would take about 5 years for us to do that against your team
Poor old Queens Park Queens! Handy to have your close neighbours in the Prem, but alas not to be next year!
I have been to the DW Stadium twice I think and it's just not a great away day. No decent pubs really. Get to the station and walk to the ground. Then go into the 'marquee' thing for drinking which is for the away fans and go into the ground. It's just a bit boring! And the fact that all us CFC fans were wearing shorts and t-shirts sporting our sunglasses as it was really warm in London only to get to Wigan to see it ****ting it down with thunder and all wasn't that fun in August despite the win!
Villa without a shadow of a doubt. Honestly it would make my year if we relegated them on the last home game of the season. Horrible and obnoxious set of fans. I'll never forget the way they treated Newcastle after they went down and cheered, and when Newcastle chanted "Going Down" after beating them a few days back they threw their toys out the pram. Compare that to the class shown by Chelsea when we relegated Bolton in 98, Bolton players applauded off the pitch, fans chanting "Let them score". Same with West Ham with City in 87, City with Wolves last year. We're all football fans, we live for these clubs, real football fans wouldn't act like Villa did, against a local rival I can understand but not under those circumstances. Of the 5 Villa are the only club I would genuinely celebrate if they were relegated. I have a soft spot for Saints and the other 3 are all alright in my book, offer something to the league and have real fans. Many including myself slam Wigan but when they stayed behind after losing 8-0 to applaud us off & on the pitch (not leaving until stadium announcer warned coaches were ready to depart) after being crowned as Champions was as touching a gesture as I've seen from any set of fans... Even if it was only 50 of them
I was sure Villa were gone until they got that point at West Brom, it's difficult to see how QPR can stay up if they fail to win at least one of their next 2 IMO. Can't see anyone from Newcastle upwards going down. Of the 4, Villa and Reading look to have more favourable run ins than Wigan and QPR. Wigan are goners
Wigan are an odd one - although they don't have Moses and N'Zogbia to get out of it this year. I think if they go then they'll be gone for years. I reckon QPR will join them and probably Villa. I hope Reading and Saints survive as they play decent football. Shaw for Saints looks an awesome prospect.
I agree with you largely. If Wigan go down they'll never come back up IMO, especially with FFP being introduced. That's the only reason why they were able to stay up anyway, because Whelan was able to pump money in Wages were about 86% of turnover
