Football Banter

I say people may have mixed feelings about Juventus being back in the Champions League next year. They look like a typical Italian team and that is proven by the fact they have only conceded 19 goals this season

Not a good day today we get relegated

Proberly crap about Steve kean is doing such a good job and us nasty fans have been a disgrace.

cant hide the facts the only reason we didnt go down last year was they only bought the club mid season and big sam had already ammassed a load of points

hes moaning he didnt have enough money hes only had £20 million in 18 months to spend. that was the most amount a rovers manager has had in a long time both big sam and mark hughes had an awful lot less and got us mid table and into europe

i like Carrick

Messi just can't stop acoring!! I wonder how much damage would he have done against chelski if he had been on form? That must make it pretty much near 70 goals for him.

agreed. 4-2 up at home with less than 10 minutes to go - that will be a learning experience for the younger players. no matter what happens i fancy our chances next season and can't see City dominating as we have.

Relegation
Bolton must be kicking themselves. 2-0 up with 15 minutes left while QPR were drawing 0-0! but if they win away to Stoke they will have a great chance of staying up

Top 4
does anyone want to qualify for the Champions League????

We may have beaten Stoke 1-0, but to stay up we've got to do it the hard way. I reckon a draw (although a win would be nice, but can't see it happening) - would be enough for us at City, and Bolton have to lose their last game. What does anyone think? If we go down, I guess it's because we never made quality signings before the season started and I doubt very much if any of the players we signed in January will stay to play for us in the Championship. Though I'm willing to bet we do have a nucleus of a good side for the future.

I can't see Bolton getting anything at Stoke, and Blackburn look gone already. I think you're safe.

Stoke has not been a fortress this season, so Bolton can easily get something there. Remember Wigan got something there on the last day of last season

That's true enough, I just don't think Bolton have done enough recently. They folded against Spurs, and threw away a 2 goal lead in 15 minutes against West Brom. They have bottled this relegation fight in my opinion.
The only advantage they have is Stoke have nothing to play for. I think they'll want to leave on a high though as they've had a pretty poor season in the league compared to last season, what with Europa league action.

Its basically going to come down to Bolton and QPR in the last game, because Wigan will pull away and Blackburn will drift away

Blackburn need to beat Wigan today by about 7 goals to go into the last game with any kind of chance of staying up going into their last game.
