Imagine this scenario tonight!
Your a Blackburn Roarverrrrrs player and you have just heard todays results meaning that you now have to obtain maximum points against the form team in the division and the FA cup winners and Champions league finalists and also score a sh/tload of goals to boot.
Your also facing barrel loads of abuse from the now very disgruntled supporters making the task you face almost impossible.You would really get up in the morning with a great feeling wouldnt you?????????
Bear in mind the fact that a very very poor Latics side should have beaten you back in november only for dodgy reffing decisions and a clumsy get of a goalie sticking his head into somebodies boot to get a lucky penalty.
The ball is truly in our court and i quote our former manager Larry Lloyd who said the other week ” the wolves game wont matter”
:cheer:I think we will beat them tomorrow and i have felt that for a few weeks now.The crowd will be the telling factor tomorrow and i expect a sit behind the ball night to catch them on the break-2-0 Latics!
We just tread water but i think we could push on from this and start looking up the table.I hear West brom are sniffing around for our manager although im sure he wouldnt move sideways to a nothing club(mega delusions also-as well as annoying fans!) like them especially when he turned down the much larger Aston Villa last year.
Instead of perenial relegation battle i think with some savvy transfer deals especially for a striker the club could push into the top 10 with ease next season.The wage bill will ease next year with some of the bigearners off the payroll so surely the club can bring one or two in and improve our position.
I wont be holding my breath though!
They love tears at Sky dont they?
I think they will be seeing the wrong ones on monday night though goodpostIf Bolton and QPR win tomorrow Roarverrrrrrs are as good as gone and the Ewood massive (who sooooooooo get behind the manager and team dont they?)
will be kicking off from first kick to last which is always great for the home players isnt it?
If Bolton lose we are as good as safe due to the rubbish goal difference they and Roarverrrrrrs have compared to Latics so id expect a more difficult game then but it wont matter unless they stick a shedful past us.
We have done the difficult bit and just need to get over the line which i am certain will happen regardless of monday nights result.
TV has an unerring knack of switching the wrong games (remember Hull a couple of years back?) and im sure they are kicking themselves they didnt cover the QPR or Bolton game instead.Blackburn on account of an complete arrogant @rse i used to have the misfortune to work with many years ago.The sh///thead patronised the life out of Latics( and me) getting in to the top flight and took great delight when we lost.
His attitude was that we were not worthy to mix with ‘greats’ like Blackburn and he was sure our stay in the PL would be short.He was wrong of course and a drink or two will be on hand if we send his team down on monday night knowing it will have ruined his summer.Karma is a wonderful thing!
I also dislike QPR for their complete arrogance and the totally unjustified sacking of Warnock who got them up in the first place.
Again karma!The old ground was landlocked and potentially unsafe around the access/exits in my opinion.Certainly not a safe place to take the kids either with dodgy terraces and toilet facilities not out of place in a farmyard pen.
Great memories from the old ground but we would not be where we are today if they had not shifted over to ‘the gant'(wouldnt this be a great name btw ?)which geve us a much bigger profile and attracted better players during that period.
It is lovely to see pictures of it but the memories i have are of a very tiny club (in what was then a rugby doninated area) as occupiers not the world wide profile that has been created by the move across town.
Onwards and upwards but we musnt forget the past agreed!May be sorted by then!Bolton v Spurs Spurs win
QPR v Stoke Stoke win
Bolton v West Brom West Brom winAnd just for good measure:-
Villa v Spurs Spurs Win
Happy Days!!!
Why the worry over the other results?????????????????
We have two games left against the worst two clubs in the division one doomed-one nearly so!
I agree with the top poster monday is like waiting for christmas because im sure the issue will be sorted before Wolves.
Who wouldnt have taken this scenario after that dreadful Swansea home game?
Cant wait for monday-only five more sleeps :cheer:If city win at Newcastle on sunday i would stick my house,wife,kids,life,internal organs on them beating that QPR side by a sizeable scoreline to win the title.
I would also do the same on the current form Latics side picking up enough points to stay up!I am still shocked at how feeble QPR and Blackburn were on sunday in their respective games against Chelsea and Tottenham.
Cant see either of them getting to 37 points!I have a sneaky feeling QPRS expected home win with non footballers Stoke on sunday wont happen-Stoke looked very up for it last saturday against Arsenal and i bet Pulits chairman has had him in telling him to get up the table fast for more prize money.
That would mean we are already safe going into the Blackburn game barring a mathmatical travesty and the freakiest results ever.
It will be sorted on monday night believe me!Bolton to lose against Spurs on Wednesday and then they are going to the wire with QPR for the final relegation place.I think we will draw with Blackburn on Saturday and relegate them and this will be enough for us to survive but I think Bolton will then collect 4 points from their last 2 games against West Brom and then Stoke so they will end up with 38 points with us but their goal difference will be that little worse that ours.
QPR to beat Stoke and have 37 points but have to go to City last game which they are going to get nothing from and Villa to beat Norwich to get 40 points.
So after that long winded answer, Wolves, Blackburn and QPR for the drop
Us to finish on only 38 points?I agree that is the safety figure but come on!
On current form it has to be 6 points from those last two games surely.
We will wrap up safety in style next monday especially after what i saw from Blackburn at Spurs yesterday-looked as if they have given up already.Blackburn didnt muster a shot in the game today and to be honest it should have been a lot more.If they are as bad as that today a week on monday the result there will be a fomality.They looked as if they have given up the fight already.
Tottenham looked very good today and they are up at Aspull wanderers on wednesday with a win there putting them within a point of Arseh@les mob for third spot.
Blackburn and QPR for me.
