Can you guarantee it?
It would stop me worrying for the rest of the season.

wish i could fj :)

but if you check the odds i bet all those three plus wba are shorter odds than us to go down

if i had to predict

i'd say ATM wba stoke and one of pompey/boro to go

but i definitely want to see the window thru and then one game after that before feeling at all confident about any relegation candidates

gonna be tight that's for sure

I think Pompey have some problems. They've got a good team but like us losing Carrick they are going to feel how difficult it is to continue with the same success at the loss of a major player.

Stoke were always going to have a period when they struggled.

Blackburn have an experienced enough manager to pull them out of trouble I believe and fortunately so do we.

It's going to be a very interesting relegation fight this year and I fear the teams with inexperienced managers will find themselves losing at the end.

by losing last night hull too might start looking over their shoulder

if they lose their next two, which is quite likely, suddenly the relegation fears most thought were gone will re-emerge again

I think for the next two months any team not five points or more clear of the drop zone (including goal difference) will not feel safe

even some a little higher may be worried too

Every team outside the top 6 may go down.

I reckon that's about right Petyr

I had Hull down as safe about a fortnight ago, but little cracks are showing

Fulham should be safe but probably need at least a month before really feeling safe

Hull were never going to be able to keep up that early form with the squad that they have. It was a matter of time till teams started closing in on them. Fulham's defence is good enough to keep them up, they'll nick wins by the odd goal here and there. I was at Old Trafford the other night for the Boro game and they were shocking. Can see them being right in the **** at the end of the season. Great fans though but thats for another thread :grin:

My brother is a Stoke fan and the day they beat us he said "at the end of the season we'll need the points more than you". It's taken awhile but we've finally overtaken them. They'll be happy with 4th bottom and so will we, I suppose. However we do have the talent to stay up and I am very optimistic (as I've always been) we will. Of the 14 scrambling for safety Fulham have impressed me the most. It's very hard to guess what will happen but I think Stoke can stay up too. The next month will be very interesting. I need to find some good odds on Spurs not being relegated as my conviction deserves a bet!
