RT @ed_son QPR were 6 points adrift when Harry Redknapp took over. £25m and 19 games later QPR are 7 points adrift.

Stoke only 4 points from the drop zone if Wigan win their game in hand.

Would love that shower to get relegated

I hope Newcastle go down, Pardew is a smug arrogant moron and I'd like nothing more than to see him get hammered

[ChesterDave]

He is currently sporting a stupid beard too

[Muddled]

I want Wigan gone.

They exist to be **** (except when the play us) and then get their only run of form at the end of the season, to survive by the smallest of margins. They never fill their stadium and there are more deserving teams in the Championship.

Along with them, I want QPR gone because of their frankly stupid idea of throwing money at a problem and hiring 'Arry. I'd like Villa to go down, but think it will be Reading and I'm with DaveFromChester - if Stoke went down, I'd belly laugh for hours and take great joy in watching that shower tumble. I'd even want them to go in free-fall down the leagues.

Only team I ever want relegated is Everton or Utd.

[Muddled]

That's because you are quite serene, Alex.

You're Est's calm waters. You're Lake Placid.

[Fernandinho]

If stoke fell down the leagues I would really enjoy it!

I could see Wigan free falling if they were relegated.

[Chazza]

Reading look like they are 'doing a Wolves' now with both Poyet and Adkins turning them down.

Reading statement 14 days ago: "It is hoped that a new manager will be in place asap to lead the fight against potential relegation."

[Chazza]

Forget that, looks like Adkins is going to get the job

I grew up in Wigan, and when I couldn't get to Anfield I would go and watch Wigan. In those days they were **** they almost got relegated from the football league in the 90's before Dave Whelan bought them.

Since then they have aquired alot of fans who have just become really arrogant, and have become complacent about their Premiership status. They haven't had a bad season for years it will be interesting to see what happens to their crowds when they do have a bad season. IMO if they go down they aren't coming back up any time soon. Also almost everyone from my school claims to have been a Wigan fan all their lives and have been going for years, which I know to be bull****, they also give me **** for being a Liverpool fan, most of them have Man Utd as a second team.

[Chazza]

Fletcher and Cattermole both out for the rest of the season.

Sunderland could get dragged down into it.

[Muddled]

Absolutely. Without a win since January and a fixture list that includes Man Utd, Chelsea, Everton and a derby in their next four fixtures they could be in trouble.

[ChesterDave]

Liverpool page on facebook shared a picture from OPTA today showing QPR have the highest average age, based on all players from all league matches, this season.

Crap, over the hill, cloggers, on astro wages.

They are ****ed.

The relegation scrap

As the season draws to a close I gaze my eyes towards the lower half of the table & I start praying certain teams loose so they ultimately get relegated .

It appears nigh on certain that Reading & QPR are gone so who do you hope to be the other side relegated this season?

For me it has to be Stoke. They are an anti football team IMO. Really can't stand the club at all. Now that Wigan have made the FA Cup Final I expect them to push on & do enough to stay up.
