Permutations

[QPRWEBBIE]

Part of me says don't watch the TV or listen to the radio next week. Just wait for the call.

Also agree about Wigan - not sure why people think Wigan losing would be better for us. Our bect chance is Blackburn relegated with a game to go and Stoke winning or drawing.

People wanting Blackburn to win baffles me as its another chance for us to go down. Imagine Bolton lose and we lose and we think we are safe but all of a sudden Blackburn get a result at Sc*m and we are down

If Blackburn lose tonight and we lose to City we could still stay up if Bolton lose or draw with Stoke.

we will stay up if bolton lose or draw at stoke,

There are 2 aspects to this. Firstly, and most importantly, it's up to us to put in a shift at City- there will be a huge global audience cheering US on- and to hold our heads up high we simply cannot go there believing we will be beat. Any negative feelings we may have towards the delusioned global army of Reds needs to be forgotten.
Secondly, we need other results to go our way as a back up - all logic says that Bolton will struggle to win at Stoke -they have twice lost points from good positions of late and Stoke wont role over for them - Wolves just MIGHT put in a show at Wigan - so a Blackburn win (only by the odd goal) could be useful tonight. I think a Chelsea reserve team would still have too much for them -and if we have anything about us at all a stuffing by City should not be on -after all, they will only need a win -they might even settle for 1 goal or 2 at most -Mancini has been known to be very cautious when the occasion demands.

In a way the worst possible result tonight would be a draw as that could need us to get at least a draw at City to stay up.

Another permutation is even if we draw with City we could still go down along with Villa, who still aren't safe either.

How can Blackburn survive on our expense when our goal record is much better?

Because that could, mathetically, change and theres could be better than ours.

1. If Blackburn win today, then they need to win again away to Chel**** to figure, and theres as much chance of that upset as us winning at MC. It also means Wigan are firmly in the relegation mix and it gives us another survival angle in case we lose to MC, and Bolton win at Stoke.

2. It also then means that Wigan need to beat Wolves on the last day, and with that extra pressure against a team playing to impress for a new contract or a transfer back to the prem.

3. And most important, MH will want to take points off MC badly, after the way they kicked him out. For us to draw, survive the relegation fight, and handing the title to his old club MU will be so gratifying to him it will be utterly orgasmic. And don't forget, he knows some of the players and their weaknesses.

A draw relegates Blackburn, so changes nothing - we still need a point or Stoke win.

There is a major rumour about Martinez going to WBA this summer, if true it could deffo be seen in the players tonight, especially those without a contract for next season..

Martinez will only move if they go down and he will be trying to stop that at all costs. He turned down Villa for Wigan - why would he go to WBA??

Sorry, you're right. My BBC predictor must have blown a fuse

[sirduncs]

i'm a little confused now. initially i thought a blackburn win would be best for us outcome-wise today. now, i'm not so sure.

[QPRDave]

Think silvercue has a point, get the 2nd relegation place filled.

[Yousef]

Stan now you have worried me!!!

[Norfolkhoop]

Peter Crouch will do it for us. He could and should have scored yesterday and I am certain he will want to do the business for us. He got a good reception from us yesterday and he rightly acknowledged it. Relax and chill it will depend only on us keeping the Man City goals down (peice of pish) and PC doing the business, we will stay in the Premiership, no bout a doubt it.
