feel free to laugh but i want to put a bet on west brom to stay up. anyone seen any good odds on this?

and i want angelina jolie to come round my house and give me a lapdance but we dont all get what we want unfortunately!

dont see how boro are "gone" by any means when they can beat teams like lliverpool, are only 2 pts behind us and have the easiest fixtures, but still reckon they will go down

19 voters. 19 votes for West Brom. You haven't. forgot to actually vote but in my opinion: fulham are playing too well. bolton have enough grit to keep them up, as with Blackburn. hull will stay up thanks to points from earlier in the season. we have enough quality in my opinion to stay up marginally as do Portsmouth. West Brom arent as bad as people make out and will do a great escape, like last season and Stoke dont really have any premiership quality and rely too much on 1 bloke's throw. middlesbrough just arent that good, and sunderland dont really have much in the way of quality, or a good manager. imo 18th place is between hull and sunderland.

cheers. ive gone for stoke middlesbrough and sunderland with west brom pulling themselves off the bottom and surviving!

how can i get it to have 3 options?

thought id get a poll going, select 3 out of the lot

bloody hell can you imagine if something like that happened in britain? horrific

stoke but i can see us doing some unlikely wins at spurs and against either arse or chelsea

any 3 of the nbottom 10 could go down to be honest. in fact im tempted to put a tenner on west brom to stay up. anyone know anywherer with goods odds on this? im still staying on a 4 for the moment, although its a very high 4 now!

ffs not even west brom are 10 Back down to '7'. Could you imagine what it'd be like to be fickle? Id hate it.

ffs not even west brom are 10

fucks sake not even finished the game yet

I watch them online when it works and currently go to all the London games and try to get to 1 home game a season. next year ill be at uni in birmingham hopefully, so we'll have to see which clubs are within an hour and a bit and then the odd home game i guess!

haha but you need to ask questions of yourself if you watched that for half an hour!

i reckon realistically, this ones a 1-1 to keep us in the dark for longer

fulham v blackburn tonight. a win for blackburn would put them above us. come on fulham!!!

DON'T PANIC!!!!! Hughton eyes Smith factor Newcastle United caretaker manager Chris Hughton hopes Alan Smith's return from injury can hand the club a timely boost in their bid to avoid the drop. Smith has made just two appearances for the Magpies - who currently lie a point above the relegation zone - this season after struggling with an Achilles problem. The 28-year-old impressed in Newcastle's 2-1 loss to Manchester United earlier this month, and Hughton is backing the versatile attacker to prove a valuable asset between now and the end of the term. He told the Evening Chronicle: "Coming into a game [against the Red Devils] of that magnitude speaks volumes for him. "Alan is a player who can play off the front - of course, originally he was a forward player - but we have used him as a midfielder. "He can give us a fit and enthusiastic body that's good around the place, and he also gives us valuable options. "And that's at a time when we're going to need as many players fit and available as possible."

It's law that was brought in to protect stadium attendences or something like that I think. I think the idea is, if they showed live TV on a Saturday at 3pm then people would stop going to matches because it'd be easier to watch on TV so they move it to 515 instead? what morons the FA are

anyone know why exactly it is illegal to broadcast 3pm games?

personally id be disgusted if we were renamed the northern rock or whatever. maybe a good compromise would be renaming it "Carling St James Park" or equivalent because then it will still be SJP but signs and stuff will be different. a bit like "The FA Cup sponsored by E-on" I dont have that much beef with, but the "E-on cup" would piss me off. on another note, i find it bizarre that a compnay caled kingston communications has sponsored hull city's stadium, yet everyone including the media calls it the "KC stadium"

Step forward Portsmouth Football Club I reckon West Brom will stay up with us. Going down will be stoke hull and middlesbrough. at least thats what im hoping for!!

i think after the man united game is the first time that i say yes to the question

Lose to Hull and you're fifty/fifty as to whether we go down? Christ, i admire your optimism. Lose to Hull and i'm done tbh, given the coming fixtures. Three points at Hull will give us a vital bit of a ledge to cling on to, as we inevitably fall away given the rotten upcoming fixtures. Miss out on that and it's goodnight Vienna imo. if we lose to hull, we may well be in the relegation zone, but theres 9 more games afterwards and a massive 7 points between botlon in 11th and boro in 19th. just because stoke and hull won on the same day we lost narrowly to man united, im not sure how anyone can give up on us staying up altogether. indeed, i will be very nervous if we do lose to hull though. Aye i certainly haven't given up hope yet mate. But i mean... lose to Hull and i'm a bit more tetchy then 50/50, that's what i was getting at. yeah its getting to us all now mate! but seriously though, there are stoke, hull, pompey and blackburn who are in my opinion equally likely to go as us.

not really, they still have a 3 point cushion on arsenal.
