Premier League Relegation Battle 2014/15

In fairness GD people often say that about any club with significant debts to their owner but I can't remember anyone notable every calling them in and crippling a club as a result.

 

Agreed but with Assam, unless he gets his own way regarding the name change, I can see this being a bit different.

Thinking about it, didn't one of Portsmouth's many owners call in their debt?

 

Watching the Citeh v QPR game. Already 2-0 Citeh.

Quite a few empty seats in the stands

 

Wahey! ... I can here the conference calling!!

 

3-0. QPR defending is god awful

 

Bye QPR. Thanks for the laughs.

 

They now need to score 5 in 28 minutes just to survive another week.

 

QPR have been dreadful!

 

6-0. Abject. Their model will not work again next year, they fluked it last year.

 

Couldn't be happier.

Ugly club from top to bottom. Fernandes, Redknapp, Barton, ans the rest of the overrated tosh they pay 60k a week. All worthy of plummeting through the divisions. I will laugh if they do.

 

PETA have come out against City for mercilessly savaging defenceless animals.

 

Well, they're really living up to their nickname of QPRhaha....

I do feel sorry for their fans though, good though Man City are, they're hardly invincible at home, and to go down like that without a fight is disgraceful.

 

£8m Livermore cost. And people wonder why clubs shop abroad...

 

Silly boy. Doesn't know how lucky he is.

 

There's a photoshop opportunity waiting here with Livermore face down on one of the lines on the pitch....

 

Would Hell really sack a player that cost them 8 million squids last summer for getting caught taking recreation drugs? (Not that I'm condoning it!) Probably not I would've thought. More likely to sell him on ASAP & recoup anything they can get.

 

So if Hull do drop it won't be all doom and gloom ....


... at least one of them will be going out on a high.

 

Interesting relegation battle today (and thank **** that unlike most other PL weekends we don't have to wait until after Saturday to get a clear idea of the relegation picture, with all teams involved kicking off at 3.00 or earlier). Villa must have thought they were safe last weekend but this heavy defeat at Soton may knock their confidence, even with an "easy" home game against Burnley on the last day (and we saw what they did to Hull), especially if Hull get an unexpected win at Spurs this afternoon.

To add to the intrigue, Hull can't be relegated with Sunderland playing Leicester, so with their OK goal difference, they'll still stand a chance even with defeat today (although it'll be pretty much curtains if Sunderland and Newcastle both win with Leicester playing QPR at home on the last day).

 

Mane with the fastest PL hat trick ever. Villa 5-1 down at HT.

Not a good day for the slag.

 

Qpr losing to Newcastle.


Hahahahahahahaha


Edit: Of course they score as I post.

 

QPR now beating Newcastle. That means that Newcastle are just 2 points above relegation and Hull, though fortunately for them I don't see Hull getting back into the game against Spurs.

 

QPR doing a pitch invasion even though they are relegated!!!

 

It was because they won a game. Doesn't happen often.

 

...could still see Sunderland going down, with their last two matches being Chelsea & Arsenal away... although Hull beating Man U and Newcastle not losing at home to West Ham (!) both look long shots...

 

Slim chance of Hell beating ManUre I'd have thought. As good as down now.

 

So I'll be seeing you next year 'ornets, somehow we managed to stay up.

Just to indulge a little;

- Cambiasso is by far and away the best player I have seen in a Leicester shirt since I started going in the late 90's. He talks every player through each phase of play, physically dragging some of the younger members of the team into position at set pieces. He even dishes out advice to some of the biggest, scariest and most experienced players in the squad like Wasilewski, Huth and Schmeichel. A whole city has fallen in love with him. If I ever have kids I'll tell them about one of the most decorated players of his generation coming and sppreading his majesty and sheer quality around the club.

- Huth has come in and been a rock.

- Pearson decided to throw caution to the wind and started playing 3-4-1-2. Not a long term solution but letting the players express themselves has got us out of the ****.

- Jamie Vardy finally remembered that defenders absolutely hate playing against him. He may be a chavy little bugger, but my goodness is he effective.

- Every touch of the football that Leo Ulloa takes makes angels sing with joy.

We had a run of fixtures that were very, very favourable. A few teams that had given up for the season, a couple of relegation rivals and the absolute circus that is Newcastle United.

 

It also shows that a manager can be a bit of a nutjob but still be any good

 

... and then there were two..

Basically Hull have to win, failure to do so = relegation
If Hull win they got to hope Newcastle don't

I will laugh if Newcastle go down, also from a practical point of view I think we would be more likely to get points off of Hull than Newcastle next season should they stay up.

 

I would love it if the Geordies go, love it...............
