I know it's no great comfort but we could harldy be playing at the Etihad at a better time. Man City have no league position to play for. They will probably have just won the FA cup and professional or not they will have had a couple of nights out to celebrate and they will have played midweek and so will probably be a tad less effective than useful. That said I hope we just turn and and beat WBA which I reckon will just about sort things out regardless as I can't see both Wigan and Villa beating sides fighting for the Champions League places. I also think that if Newcastle crack against QPR they could be staring down the barrel and sunderland are runnning out of fit and not suspended first teamers so there are plenty still in the mix we could go above.
