EPL 2007/8 Season. The Relegation Run In

[Dirko]

Ouch..Villa 5 Brum 1...seeya Brum...

Should that not be "seeya next year Brum"

Demoralising defeat for BCFC. In so many ways, against the old enemy, losing 5 -1, keeps them in the bottom 3.

Can't wait until the Rams beat the Clarets at Pride Park and JTC is there with his camera taking photo's of his side getting done

[johntheclaret]

BTW I got some pics from last week. Will get Ms JTC to get them off the phone onto my pc. Then i'll try to get them up on here

Birmingham thrashed at Villa did nothing for their GD although they still have the advantage, whilst Sunderland went down at Newcastle.

No change to the ladder as both games went according to the forecast.

Total predicted points

Newcastle 42
Wigan 39
Sunderland 38
Bolton 36
Reading 35

Fulham 31
Birmingham 30

Think it's week after next Marty. Brum at home to Liverpool next game., I think Fulham have Man City

[johntheclaret]

All square this week with Wigan, Reading, Birmingham, Bolton and Newcastle all making draws.
The onlt big winner was Fulham who came from 2 - 0 down to win and give themselves a lifeline.

With Newcastle and Sunderland now safe it really is a dog fight between Reading, Bolton, Birmingham and Fulham. Boro have been falling like a stone but, along with Wigan, should have enough points on the board to be safe.

Good to see Sunderland safe.

How the hell did Fulham win at COMS? That was a great comeback, fantastic finish for the winner by Kamara.

[McAlmanac]

How big is that Fulham v Birmingham game next week? Fulham are certainly playing their way out of trouble - two away wins after 18 months dry.

[Dogwatcher]

Woo hooo! Sunderland safe. Well done lads.
Murphy sure as hell made up for his howler of the other week.

game of the year

WBA are all but promoted to the EPL
Southampton are all but relegated.

WBA have a massive 13 goal advantage over 3rd placed Hull and a 3 point lead.
Southampton have a massive 13 goal deficit. That is worth a point to all around them.

To be fair Soton were very unlucky. Took the lead with about 10 minutes to go, but then paniced and let the baggies back in with a late goal.

They (Southhampton)at least play at home this week and against a beatable opponent (Sheff United) where as we (Leicester) have Stoke away FFS!!! We need to ensure we get exactly the same result as the Saints or it's 3rd tier football for the first time

At least our game is live on Fox Sports 1 at 10.00 p.m. Sunday night!!! I will actually be able to see what happens rather than listen to BBC Radio. I'm not sure what's worse seeing or hearing, at least with the radio you don't have to see the shit we serve up most weeks!

[johntheclaret]

You'll be alright mate. Sheff U have as much to play for as Stoke. I've watched both this season at Turf Moor and Stoke away and I can tell you that technically Sheef U are playing the better football. Along with Palace, they are one of the form teams so you are at no disadvantage.

Best of luck anyway. I followed Leicester when I lived over there. I onlt switched when I found out how far away they were from where we were living. Took about two weeks to fall in love with Burnley and their Claret tops with a big sky blue Vee. (hmmmmm I wonder if that strip had something to do with it)

[Strawb]

Bolton are looking safe I hope I want them to wake up and stay in the top flight and recruit next year spend some pounds.

Not with Megson in charge Strawb07. Saving grace for Bolton will be that the 3 sides coming up from the CCC are so shite, they will all be going straight back down. The interesting battle will be who will finish 4th bottom.

[johntheclaret]

Massive gains and massive losses this week.
Gains, Bolton make it just about safe with a win at Sunderland and a huge huge gain for Fulham who get the wood over relegation rivals Birmingham.
Losses, disaster for both Reading, losing at home and can't buy a goal, and Birmingham who look all but buried.

Not any real changes to the forecast. Fulham was predicted as a win whilst Reading was predicted as a draw.

Hopefully Brum are on tele next week

may have to take the night off work to witness the amazing resurrection and stay up in top flight

[johntheclaret]

Watched thtem this morning MT79. They looked pretty poor to be honest.

doesn't look good. I wondered how much damage was done by that thrashing they took from arch rivals Villa .
