Stifler Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Wonder - are there any Newcastle fans who WON'T join in the same kind of mocking they did to us if Villa went down ? Would we be lowering ourselves to their very low level, or just enjoying having the last laugh ? Having the last laugh really. To be honest as much as I hate Wigan for trolling the league year after year and QPR's money burning way with the biggest tax dodger ever as manager I'd sacrifice them both staying up for Villa to go down.

Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Think that the table will look like: Southampton -39pts Wigan -35pts ----------------------------- Villa -34pts Reading -32pts QPR -26pts It's hard to call because a lot of 6 pointers still have to be played but I fancy Southampton and Wigan to escape the drop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 points per game for last 8, added up for 10 more fixtures, would give this final table. Man Utd 98 Man city 77 Spurs 73 Chelsea 69 Arsenal 66 Everton 60 Liverpool 59 Swansea 55 West Brom 49 Fulham 48 Newcastle 42 Wham 42 Norwich 41 Sunderland 40 Southampton 38 Stoke 38 Reading 35 QPR 32 Villa 32 Wigan 31 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 42 points for an 11th place finish Taking a look at QPR's next 7 fixtures, 6 of them are entirely winnable. If they win 4, they have an outside chance of surviving. Villa vs QPR on Saturday 16th is a huge game for both teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think Reading may have peaked too soon. My 3 at the minute are Reading, Villa and Saints. I've said all along that QPR will survive and sincerely hope I'm wrong but I've just got that awful feeling. Those headlines yesterday, along with a battling win, will really generate a 'them and us' spirit that they've not had at any point this year.

Yes, QPR have been absolutely shit but like it or not, it's likely Redknapp will get a reaction of sorts out of them. The way people have been talking you'd think QPR were 12 points off safety. They're 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Well, good result for QPR and just maybe they'll get the points, but still think it'll be too little too late. Don't care who goes down, really - as long as its not us. Would prefer Villa though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 So with 10 games to go, 3 of these have to overtake us - Southampton - 3 points behind us, 0.96 points a game average. Wigan - 6 points behind us, 0.85 points a game average. Villa - 6 points behind us, 0.85 points a game average. Reading - 7 points behind us, 0.82 points a game average. QPR - 10 points behind us, 0.71 points a game average. We are level with Sunderland, 2 behind Norwich and 3 behind Fulham, Stoke and West Ham. It would have to be spectacularly bad form from us and spectacularly good form from 3 teams who haven't managed that for 74% of the season. Really hard to see it now. will go with a 'trying not to tempt fate too much' 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I just want QPR and Arry to go down but its looking less likely. I don't know, Wigan are the masters of scraping through at the end and the next placed team are 7 points clear of QPR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's hardly cut and dried that they're going to stay up even after beating Southampton. Their last 3 games is Arsenal then us at home then Liverpool away. They really have to beat the Mackems on sat to stay up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I would prefer QPR now but Wigan do annoy me with the way they just manage to stay up every season, plus the Martinez hype is starting to annoy me so from that point of view it would be funny. Ideally it would be Villa (sorry Brummie), QPR and Wigan. I think Sunderland are safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 QPR will not go down. It's interesting. The side they put out against Soton looked pretty good on paper, and despite what gets said a lot on here, Redknapp does have his qualities as a manager. A couple of games can change the whole picture. It's a matter of getting the players motivated for a battle, because if Redknapp can do that, they should be okay. Last time I saw them, the fight wasn't there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Villa's next two games are QPR and Reading, huge matches for them. They've got Wigan on the last day as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The way I look at it anyone up to about 12th aren't out of it. When you think it's only about 10 points from the bottom to 10th spot it could all change fairly quickly. Just hope QPR don't go on some awesome run now, but with Remy back they will get goals imo.

The College Dropout Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Always thought Redknapp would get them out of trouble. Their side doesn't lack quality and Redknapp knows his way around the PL. If they have found some heart they will stay up. Remy looks absolutely rapid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 12th, 6 teams have to overtake you for your side to get relegated. That just won't happen imo unless you crash like Hull almost did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 "Only" 10 points is a lot when there are 10 games to go and you are averaging less than 1 a game. That's also assuming the other teams don't pick up a single point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
