*RELEGATION WATCH*

[sandman]

Not exactly a stretch to label an Arsenal fan as an Arsenal fan when they are an Arsenal fan.

[Stranded]

Fulham and Rotherham draw so Fulham stay behind us having played a game more. Looking at their games, they have to get something at Blackpool on Saturday as their last two are against Boro and Norwich.

Slightly startling realisation that Millwall could be within two points of us come next Tuesday evening.

Exactly - and people are saying we shouldn't be worried

[Sutekh]

Like Millwall are going to make up the points difference on us when they've still got Derby at home (only one 1 win at home since October and that was against 9 man Wigan) and 3 nasty looking away games to play. Even if they did make it up Rotherham would need another win from Norwich at home and Leeds away in addition to the 3 points they'd need to get off of us.

Of course the FL will probably screw us over and not deduct 3 points from Rotherham for their ineligible player...

[genome]

I can just see them winning them both. It'd be typical.

[Stranded]

If the five clubs still in the mix keep the same form as the last 6 games over the last 3 or 4 games then the final table will look like this (not including GD)

18. Reading 49pts
19. Brighton 49pts
20. Fulham 49pts
21. Rotherham 46pts
22. Millwall 45pts

This takes in Millwall's recent slight upturn in form 8pts from last 5 games. This also doesn't take into account any possible points deduction for Rotherham.

Of the above, we have the worst form but only just. Last 6 games are:

Millwall 8
Fulham 6
Brighton 5
Rotherham 4
Reading 3

TBH if I was Millwall, the teams I would be wanting to play at the minute would be Cardiff and Blackburn. We have played both at the home in the last fortnight and I think between them they troubled our keeper once. Wolves could be out the play-off race as well by the last day of the season which could make it easier for them. I do see Millwall getting out of it but not at the expense of us. I think we will beat Brum and should get something at Rotherham. When (hopefully) Rotherham are deducted three points, that would be when I would put my mind at rest about relegation.

[TheBiscuitMan]

To be perfectly honest even with the apparent lack of points available to us, I would fully expect us to take at least 4 points out of the last four games. Possibly beat Brum and draw with Rotherham or vice versa. This would take us to 51 points, meaning that Millwall would have to win all of their remaining games and overturn our superior goal difference. To summarise, we would need to be incredibly poor or incredibly unlucky to be relegated. I can't see it happening given the way that all the teams around us have played this year.

[JIM]

When is ROTHERHAM hearing set for please. ?

[vaudafone]

No idea at the moment. I think it hasn't been said yet.

Focus has shifted from the league. Should have done better but there are mitigating circumstances and I'm not sure we would have got results at places like Portman Road and Molineux under Adkins.

His record suggests we'd have got significantly more points against the bottom lot even if not, which would also deprive them of points.

And who made the stupid half time substitution in that Wolves game that upset our rhythm?

Who picked stupid teams to get stuffed by Watford and Huddersfield?

Who failed to beat Millwall or Blackpool?

[sandman]

Who failed to put up fight against relegation from the Premier League when it was still possible to stay up?

Who made stupid and unrealistic targets for the season that put unnecessary pressure on himself and his player?

Who was in charge when we got thrashed by League 1 Peterborough?

Who was in charge when we failed to beat 8 man and later relegated Yeovil?

Who was in charge when we lost at home to eventually relegated Barnsley?

Who failed to get us in the play offs?

Who got us thrashed by Birmingham?

Who failed to sort out our defensive problems despite the fact that they were obvious

Who just continually failed at this football club despite being proclaimed by people like you as being some sort of modern day Rinus Michels who was going to get us to play super duper passing football?

Clarke has made mistakes, team selection at Watford was not a mistake btw, and I've said that myself, but as you said to me and others when Brian was sacked, "He's gone, get over it".

Millwall take 1 point from 2 games on Sat and Tues and we are safe before we play Birmingham on Wednesday.

if not placed elsewhere already more interesting stat
Adkins 21 game 25 pts -10 GD
Clarke 21 games 22 pts -10 GD

Not a particularly inspiring post - but its my first one, finally remembered username and password and testing my access etc.

Looking forward to some decent abuse

No it's just Adkins signing up to make a point

I think you two should go for a drink tomorrow.
