Thanks Ausage.Just to make things a bit clearer for people.
Run in
Villa - 36 points -14 f/a - West Brom (A), Spurs (H), Norwich (A)
QPR - 34 points -18 f/a - Chelsea (A), Stoke (H), Man City (A)
Wigan - 34 points -26 f/a - Newcastle (H), Rovers (A), Wolves (H)
Bolton - 33 points -28 f/a - Sunderland (A), Spurs (H), West Brom (H), Stoke (A)
Rovers - 31 points -26 f/a - Spurs (A), Wigan (H), Chelsea (A)
I voted Villa, Wigan and Bolton as they have the easiest run ins.
Villa are going pretty rubbish, but if they manage a point from their last 3 games (which is probable) that means QPR need at least 4 points to pull ahead of them (or overturn the GD which seems unlikely given their respective opposition). Given QPR have City and Chelsea as their other 2 games I'd say they're unlikely to finish ahead of Villa.Thanks Ausage.
Purely going by the run in, Bolton and Wigan seem safe. But honestly, the fight between Villa, QPR and Rovers is just ridiculous. Villa probably take it based on league position, but I can totally seem them losing all three games.
Really? Villa might be on a horror run of form but Brom and Norwich are hardly terrifying prospects.Villa going down would be genius. McLeish is just a terrible, terrible manager.
The fans have been really patient with him too (until last coupla weeks, anyway). With his Brum connexions I suppose one has to almost commend them, especially when compared to the hateful (& OTT) merde that's been directed at Kean by his own fans.
Anyway, looking at the run I can see them not getting another point. Badly need the R's to beat Stoke in that eventuality.
