"Relegation Battle"

Premiership seems to be looking interestin this season with a number of team fighting for 4th spot, and Chelsea and Man united battling for 2nd.

It's not just that, it's also the relegation battle, in which I think Wolves have been unlucky. Looking at their 4 of their last 5 games, they have conceded 5 goals goals in the 90th minute costing them 5 vital points.

This would of made the relegation battle more interesting, but it looks certain they have gone down.

So who will follow Wolves for the drop?

Leeds and Portsmouth seem to be getting points, and Leicester are battling hard, but look certain to go down also.

You also have Blackburn and Man City also on the same points as Portsmouth.

solskjaer is just jelous of arsenal to have found, trained and created such a good player as henry. nothing makes me discredit people more than them saying "arsenal are a one man side". we have a good back 4 unit and an amazing team spirit. everyone knows that you can't win a game, let alone a title with one player.

it's just a cheap shot.

Well, not so much a miracle: All they need is a couple of wins. But it all depends on who they have to play in the next few weeks, I suppose...

As much as I hate to say it, I think both Wolves and Leicster may just have had it. As for Leeds, they are gunna' have to pull off a miracle as well to survive. Still exciting.

I don't know who to root for to get relegated, either way we can't really lose as it seems to be either Leeds or the Blue scum for the drop. Personally i'd prefer Leeds to go down but either way it'll be a bit of sunshine in a otherwise drab season

Embarassingly low for a club that has won the title in recent years?

I think so.

Badgerman, what was the score today, where are we in the league!?

I predicted at the beginning of the season that Leeds would go down and I still think they will. I can't believe that Man City are in so much trouble but I think they'll manage to stay up (I've probably doomed them after saying that).

At the other end of the table it was a great win for Portsmouth and with Chelsea having half an eye on Tuesdays' game they missed out on a chance of strengthening their position in second place.

Don't even get me started on that bunch of underachievers that will slip out of the fourth position tomorrow :(

Yes, the Title Race has been "over" for a long time now. Once again, I find myself paying more attention to Leeds United's (still-great) chances of survival down at the other end; keeping only a glancing-eye on Man United's big-hopes of stealing 2nd place.

I was just thinking to myself last night, after Thierry Henry [sorry, "Arsenal"...?!] finished their one-man [...] demolition of poor, old, un-deserving Leeds United...

They can afford to lose this game. It's all so very close down there. Nobody is "expecting" them to beat the un-beaten Frenchman [...'men] like they may be some of their other remaining few fixtures...

If only we (Man United) can stump Portsmouth further into trouble...


And, just look at what happens - we LOSE! To make matters worse, Steve "Oh no, I missed an open goal!!" Stone is the ONLY man to put the ball past our struggling-butjustabout-surviving defence. :P :@


Still, I admire Leeds for having not given up, no matter how bad things got (plus, it was the whole team this time, and not just Alan Smith). A referee also had a GOOD game! :O If only Duberry hadn't been the fool... Once they got one (and two), there was no stopping him (er, "them"....) really.

If I was Eddie Gray though, I'd have taken off Jermaine Pennant at half-time, probably. Althought he wanted to do well, he still wasn't quite in the right frame-of-mind. He only wanted to succeed in order to show up his real team-mates and Arséne Wenger, who has neglected him for so-long. Was he really all that willing to do it for Leeds?

Yes, I got you warned for all that spam you sent in.
