Wolves look a lost cause but who is gonna join them.....suddenly the other 4 teams have all started finding form. Villa to freefall like Brum did last year?
Who would have thought Wigan would have won at Anfield last week and then beat Stoke? Then who would have thought, QPR would have beaten Ars*nal.
Wolves are gone. Dont think there's any come back coming from them. As you say, they look a lost cause. I think QPR will come a cropper. They've still got to play Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea and Spurs in their last 7 games. Then they've got Swansea and Stoke at home. West Brom away. Dont see them taking many points out of that.
Despite Wigan winning their last two games, I think they're going to go. Chelsea away, Man Utd home, Arsenal away, Fulham away, Newcastle home next 5 games. They're one and only saviour may be that they've got Blackburn away and then Wolves at home last two games but they may well be cut a drift by then. Can you see them realistically taking any points from their next 3 games? I cant.
Wigan and QPR I reckon. Agree with Chirpy's wish list, except that I'd like Millwall to stay up this season so that we can avenge the 4-0 and contribute to their relegation next season.
I have a Wolves chum who is in complete denial and remains full of optimism and will do until the end, which is fast approaching now. How well I know how he feels! Villa are doing their damndest to go down with them but Wigan must be favourites. QPR? In the words of Mr. Keegan: 'I'd love it, just love it!'.
I think that QPR will go down and it will be good to have a third London derby. Depending upon how they're doing, they may even fill the Jimmy Seed stand - Millwall and Palace certainly will ( something an away team hasn't managed this season ). Wolves will also bring a good crowd, especially if it's a Saturday game. Wigan or Blackburn won't and I suspect that it will be Wigan who go ( a pity, because I like Martinez ).
The number of away fans should go up by a bit over a thousand a game, which will help the atmosphere as well as the coffers. No more minuscule turnouts like Bury, Rochdale and others.
Too right - I stand corrected ! No team in the play offs will be under bigger pressure than the Happy Hammers if ( as it appears ) that's where they end up.
I'm a very simple bloke really. I would like the Clubs who ditched their managers to go down, and particularly Blackburn to survive having been so strong to back him.
Interesting point here, we are discussing who do we hope to be playing next year !
Funny how only 2 weeks back almost everyone thought we'd be playing Wigan and QPR next year.......now its looking like trips back to Ewood and the Reebok!
Looking forward to going back to Wolves, haven't been to Molineux since we drew 0-0 with them on a Tuesday night in the Coca Cola Cup about fifteen years back.
Wigan is a pretty boring team to visit but then again so are Blackburn and Bolton. Very little atmosphere at either ground.
Then again I can't stand watching them on the TV in the Premier League ahead of well supported clubs in the Championship.
Looks like wolves, blackburn and qpr to me. Bolton have work to do but their run in is better than qpr's. Can't see wigan going down on current form and I think that villa will survive, but only just.

I reckon Blackburn and Bolton will catch Villa, but Villa will stay up as QPR and Wigan will just fair to catch them.
I'd love Villa to go so much. Such a nothing club.
I thought Wigan and QPR were nailed on 2 weeks ago.
Be nice to get the 6 points we need soon and sit back and enjoy all the other ups and downs.
I'd like to see (of likely scenarios)
Man U win the Prem
Spurs fail to get CL place.
Villa, Wolves and QPR to drop.
WH to miss out on automatic promotion and fail in play offs.
Millwall to go down.
Sheff Utd and Notts County to come up with us.
QPR seem to have a habit of playing well against the better teams so that might work in their favour looking at their remaining fixtures.
It'll be interesting to see their points totals. Didn't we come down with 34?

I think It will be Wolves, Wigan & Blackburn.
I think QPR and Wigan will join Wolves, I think Man Utd will win it, but would prefer it to be City.
I hope Liverpool miss out on Europe and finish below Everton, I hope Arsenal miss out on a CL place and that Spurs do get into the CL.

Might as well rename it the London League next year!

Hope QPR go down just because it's another local game.
