Leg 1 of Nott'm Forest v Swansea is on in a few minutes (for those, like me, who didn't know).

The kid was sent of for a misunderstanding of the word "football" (after he thrust all the studs on one of his boots directly into an opponent's testicles) :eek:

It's not that bad. If Birmingham lose and Wigan does no better than draw, you can stay up with a draw against Man. U reserves.

Personally, I'd like to have the bottom 14 (fourteen) teams relegated this season for being unremarkable on a spectacular level.

Is that too much to ask for? No.

I think this idea has merit but is slightly unsustainable.

Blackpool have to fight to the death. It's highly plausible that if they only lose by a goal to Manchester United and Birmingham are comfortably beaten by Spurs they could still stay up as the goal difference is fairly tight.

Even if Brum lose 1-0 and Blackpool draw (and Wigan don't win) I believe Blackpool stay up since they'd then have the same GD but Blackpool have scored a lot more goals (I think that's the tiebreaker?).

Yes goals scored is I think the next item on the wrung.

It's not so much Blackpool- the place or the team that I particularly care about but I personally would love to see Ian Holloway stay in the Premier League- he is easily the most entertaining individual for a while.

Infact if Blackpool go down Spurs should fire Harry and hire Ian Holloway.

Or even better Holloway for England!

No we don't need that nut-job anywhere near the place.

Glad to see the spammers go down. Lets hope they do a Leeds and bugger off for a decade or more.

Good summary of the various permutations....I believe at 11 (eastern) time on Sunday there will be 4 games on TV here to watch it all unfold.
