Blackburn play Tottenham next and will probably beat them, bet spurs beat us comfortably though.Jakerbeef wrote:It's a shoot-out now. I feared it would be us vs QPR on goal difference and the ruddy stars seem to be aligning.
Damn useless Spurs. History is on our side and if we can get the right results that form suggests against sliding Villa and Tottenham then the pressure is right back on the relegation battlers.
We're lacking quality right now but if keep up the huff 'n puff the goals will come.
Thought fatboy phil dowd gave us f*ck-all mind...

Re: Bottom 5 fixtures
Aye I've found a zen state now - accepted we are heading down cos there is not one likely combination of players I can see being picked, picking up a win.

Re: Bottom 5 fixtures
Last time we were in this position 5 games to go, 4 points adrift, our comparitive teams were:
Al Habsi V Bogdan - Think I'd take Al Habsi in the form he was in then
Steinsson V Steinsson - Probably not much different
Cahill V Wheater - Cahill better than Wheater
O'Brien V Ream - Can't make my mind up
Samuel V Ricketts - Ricketts probably edges this one.
Campo V NRC - No contest, even with age against him, Campo for me hands down
Nolan V Eagles - Nolan every time
McCann V Mavis - McCann better defensively than Mavis
Taylor V Petrov - Not sure about this one, Petrov probably better attacking, but without very many goals, for which Taylor would've got slated. Taylor better defensively
Miyaichi V Joof - No contest. Joof for sure
Davo v Davo - That Davo was better than this Davo...but there's time yet.

Re: Bottom 5 fixtures
Spurs haven't won in eight away league games, since Dec 27th. The only time they've scored in the last six league trips was at Arsenal, and they shipped five in the second half. There's talk of training ground bust-ups and Redknapp is understandably thinking of England (for whom he will quite possibly be so bad as to make Keegan look like Mourinho).Worthy4England wrote:I could've sworn that we've just drawn with a team that you mentioned were completely dire away from home.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:Watched the second half of QPR-Spurs in the local with an increasingly irate Rs fan and a few despondent Spurs fans. Tottenham were absolutely woeful – have been sliding for months now, is it one win in 10? - and QPR weren't much better, in the second half at least. Matchwinner Taarabt's second yellow was picky but correct and they will be a blunter team without him, so that's good news. And if we can't beat a Spurs team that bad, then we don't deserve to survive.newboy wrote:Watched the QPR Spurs game conclusion was Spurs were poor both in finishing and defending QPR didn't look any better than those in the bottom six.There's still more twists and turns to come and it's the manager who makes the right decisions at the right time and the team that wants it more that will survive, sadly on both counts I don't think that's us.
It's 2 wins in 10 and 3 draws, so one point different than our current "best run of the season".
That said, they've never won at the Bok, so we're almost nailed on to keep that run going...
But yeah, it's all very well teams being beatable (as Swansea are), we still have to beat them, and like I say, for me that's now hope more than expectation.
