Lighthouse Posted 31 March, 2013 Share Posted 31 March, 2013 I'm going to make a bold and rather dubious prediction based on nothing more than instinct. Whoever loses the Villa vs Sunderland game on April 27th will go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambsaint Posted 31 March, 2013 Share Posted 31 March, 2013 I'm going to suggest that the teams on 33 points and above will reach 40plus points and safety. Those on 23 will struggle to get much more than 30 points. Those on 30 and 31 will be in a real dogfight to the last day. No predictions as to who will join Reading and QPR. Note just how uncannily accurate goal difference is turning out to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 31 March, 2013 Share Posted 31 March, 2013 I said on the 18th March that anyone in the table up to 10th (which was Stoke) could still be in danger and it got poo pooed. Look at Stoke now. I think they'll survive on the basis that there are 3 worse teams in the league, but it shows how a few wins in the relegation battle can really drag other teams into it. Failure to beat Liverpool and Chelsea and we'd have been right in the shyte, and the Reading game would have become massive. Thanks to the two wins we can now balls up one of our easier games without completely screwing our season up. I hope we don't though - I hope we win every game for the rest of the season! It still looks like QPR, Reading and one other. Even though Villa lost today I saw enough that they could scrape wins. Wigan are doing their usual late season routine. We're flying. Norwich can't score for toffee. However I do suspect Sunderland now could take that final spot, but they have made a managerial appointment that will at least kick them up the bum. If my money was on anyone though, it would be...... Villa. Based on how poor they've been this season with the youngsters. Benteke has shone but their young defence makes too many mistakes. It's so tough to call though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRobbie Posted 1 April, 2013 Share Posted 1 April, 2013 Reading beaten on SAturday by Saints should finally do it for them. QPR are finished IMHO. I think Sunderland will go down. I think Paulo's Nazi past will see him drummed out of the job and a big distraction not needed. Well done David Miliband for resigning, I agree with Seth Blatter - the bloke should have been banned from football the last time he did a Nazi salute for Lazio. Time for the fans to hammer him. Sunderland are spineless, Fletcher is out, they're screwed. Villa, West Ham, Newcastle will be fine. Sunderland are going down with QPR and Reading.

SNSUN Posted 2 April, 2013 Share Posted 2 April, 2013 I know that prediction league on the Beeb is the biggest joke ever due to it's inaccuracy - I mean do you base results on whether team is better on paper, recent form, etc etc - but I just did it again and still Villa get that third spot. It goes down to the last game of the season and Sunderland, Wigan and Villa are all in with a shout, but Wigan beat Villa at home and stay up. Somebody said it on another thread, that last game of Wigan vs Villa could be the one which determines who gets the final slot. (Oh, and even trying not to be biased we finish on 46 points.)

Sunderland are spineless, Fletcher is out, they're screwed. Villa, West Ham, Newcastle will be fine. Sunderland are going down with QPR and Reading. Agree. What is amazing is not just the timing of O'Neill's sacking but how anyone can imagine that Di Cannio is a better manager than Martin O'Neill is beyond me and with only 7 games to get to know the team I can see their descent gathering speed.

Crab Lungs Posted 2 April, 2013 Share Posted 2 April, 2013 He might not be a better manager (in fact, I don't think tactics even come into it with PdC) but he's probably the shot in the arm they need and wouldn't have gotten from O'Neill. Their prospects are better now for it IMO. BTW, it wasn't a Nazi salute, try to understand why he did it and what it means properly.

S-Clarke Posted 3 April, 2013 Share Posted 3 April, 2013 Would want Stoke and QPR wins out of those lot. (And us obviously!) Would move us further away from 18th, and drop Wigan and Villa deep into the ****. QPR would gain points, but I don't worry about them now. Think they're long gone, and it's not us they'll be trying to catch either. That set of results would probably almost secure us for another year.

SaintRobbie Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 I don't know why, but I've always said that a red and white striped team either goes up or down from the Premier League when it matters... Who's it gonna be? Stoke or Sunderland? It aint gonna be Saints For me Villa's win is worse for Sunderland than for Stoke; in freefall with a manager who is attracting all the attention for being a Nazi and I believe will be sacked by the US owners as more fans use his appointment and politics as an excuse during the post relegation witch hunt. My predictions: Bottom 3: Sunderland QPR Reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 I fear for Stoke now. Truly. At least Sunderland will have a firework sent up them. Talking yesterday to a stokie mate, (he's coming down here on tuesday ) he reckons the fans are sick to death of pulis and "pulisball" as they term it. He also pointed out that on form since christmas, stoke would be bottom of the division, they are the worst performing team of the year so far. We could quite possibly relegate them on the last day.

Minsk Posted 7 April, 2013 Share Posted 7 April, 2013 Whilst I am pretty certain we will be fine wins for Wigan (possible) and Sunderland (highly unlikely) today could see us in 11th on 37 points and still only 4 points away from the drop zone. It is crazily tight this year. Saggy chops got very upset with a reporter last week when the 40 points safety margin was mentioned, stating no where near that much would be required. I'm not so sure. I have been saying since the start of the year that I thought Reading, QPR and Villa would go down. However, that was a huge win yesterday for Villa. And I now think they might well finish above not only Wigan but Sunderland and Stoke as well. So, my current prediction is: Reading, QPR and Sunderland (although I would find it highly amusing if Stoke were to go). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 7 April, 2013 Share Posted 7 April, 2013 I think we can delete QPR and Reading from this thread. They will both have to win 5 games more than us to be any threat. To do that in 6 games would be quite something. We are about as close to Everton in 6th as we to Reading and QPR. Add Fulham, West Ham and Swansea fixtures to the list.
