    Maximum Points
    As at 10/4/12

    Wigan – 46
    QPR – 46
    Blackburn – 43
    Wolves – 40

    A couple of defeats for the bottom four and a victory for the Swans could all but sort it by this weekend <ok>

    We can rule out Wolves as they won't win all there games. With Blackburn losing tonight, and if we get three points tomorrow night, then I feel will rule them out and QPR. So tomorrow nights game could, not quite mathematically as the other teams would need to win all there games and it won't happen, we will be safe. Get another win against Blackburn and it will be mathematical.

    ah we are safe now all but the shouting, there is no way all the bottom teams will win every game, i hope we win just to get higher up the table thats all.

    I'd rather experiment with the squad , at the expense of Caulker & Sig the last half dozen games & maybe lose a few million in the table placement this season , than throw out players that haven't played much together in the 2012 - 2013 & miss out on 50,000 ,000 , through possible relegation , in the 2013 - 2014 season . There's a good chance neither Caulker & Sig will be back after this season .

    Especially Richards , looked the part when we needed him . I'd play him the rest of the way with Taylor & Rangel playing 3 each . Same with Sig , play him 3 games & let Moore play a bit behind Graham for 3 games or someone else ., whoever ... .If Situ is a CB of sorts , fire him in for Caulker a few games .

    Sunderland 0/1 point)
    Man City (0 points)
    Swans (0/1 points0
    Everton 0/1 point)
    Wigan (0/1 point)

    Max points - 4, 26 in total

    Wigan

    Man Utd (0 points)
    Arsenal (0 points)
    Fulham (0/1 point)
    Newcastle (0 points)
    Blackburn (0/1/3 ponts)
    Wolves (0/1/3 points)

    Max points - 7, total 35

    Blackburn

    Swansea (0/1 point)
    Norwich (0/1 point)
    Tottenham (0 points)
    Wigan (0/1/3 points)
    Chelsea (0 points)

    Max points - 5, total 33

    QPR

    Swansea (0/1 point)
    West Brom (0/1 points)
    Spurs (0 points)
    Chelsea (0 points)
    Stoke (0/1 point)
    Man City (0 points)

    Max points - 3, total 31.

    This is only my predictions obviousley, but these are the max points I think the respective clubs can realistically achieve.

    So, that puts down Wolves, QPR and Blackburn.

    love to see wigan stay up, martinez has got them playing good football and have been very unlucky with poor decisions by the officials on a number of occasions,

    i want us not to experiment as it could cost us a couple of million quid and i want us to finish on a high and not like a damp squid....richards and a few others wont make the first team next season anyway as we need to get stronger and not weaker by bringing in 2 or 3 players and let a few of ours go. we have to get a replacement for caulker and siggs and a better finisher for next season as the 2nd season is always harder, rodgers has aknowledge we are weak up front and will definately bring in a high class finisher to replace danny as our main striker... we are on the trail of one young lad......Swansea are closing on a £6m move for Ivorian striker Lacina Traore, 21. The forward, who has been compared to Emmanuel Adebayor.

    It seems all African players are either called Cisse or Traore. Not very imaginative really.

    Africans tend to have very large families,hence the proliferation of similar names.
    Different tribes can usually be identified by the family name.

    Was bused into high school in the late 60 's into a huge black community outside Halifax in Canada & almost all the black people were named Johnson , Cain or Spinks . They were all descendents of " The Underground Railway "

    Good point North! think Bolton could very well make up the threesome, while Blackburn have the players to win a match or two!..................
