As I said, they've got one final chance this weekend. If they beat Wigan, they will just, just, just still be alive. It's over for them and/or Reading though, if either do not win. For the rest of the bottom half, it's ours and Wigan's duties to cut this relegation battle down to one place.
What a game, definitely feel like I got value out of the Sky subscription tonight! Got to get the win this weekend and we should be at least 6 points clear of a pretty brutal relegation scrap for that 3rd spot. Looking at the table Stoke could could end up only being 1 point clear of trouble by the end of next weekend, who would have forecast that at Christmas?
It's back to Sky Arts 2 again for a bit of a wind down with Andre Rieu. Wonder how Danny Butterfield will get on tomorrow?
Well to get the magic 40 points they now need 17 points in 7 games. I can't see them surviving even if they win their next game.
Because of the uncompetitive nature of the PL, I don't think 40 points are required, but I agree BD, QPR are down with Reading.
It's pretty competitive this year; might not take 40 points, but (particularly with QPR's goal differential) 38 or 39 is a possibility.
Well, quite. QPR have no chance if 40 points does turn out to be the required number. But whilst 36 - 38 remains a possibilty (especially given Sunderland's fixtures), then there is very slight hope.
Well if they do lose to QPR (and like I say, that is now a must for QPR), then the rest of April isn't massively kind on Wigan. A nice looking finish in May, I grant you. But QPR may just have attached themselves onto Wigan's (and Sunderland's) tails by then. I'm clutching at straws, I know I am. But, for at least six more days any way, I just can't quite force myself to say that QPR are definately down.
