If we beat Swansea, I can see us going to Villa and winning there too with a bit of momentum. Lose on saturday, and we need an unexpected win somewhere. Draw on saturday and we need to pick up 2 wins which I reckon we could get.
Bollocks to it - I don't know, I had Wigan as doomed on that predictor thing a couple of weeks ago
On the clubs website now he's been discharged from hospital - lost a lot of weight by the looks of it but otherwise looks in fine nick

I lay the blame squarely at Ricardo Gardner's feet - his country's choice of herbs have knocked at least half a yard of pace off Kevin Davies this season
Wish I could get to Villa but work committments mean it will now be a no show for me. I will however be bawling my bollocks off at Sunderland and Stoke
I had confirmation of an OAP season ticket in ESL but when I phoned them, they claimed it was in-correct on the letter but my bank details are set up as normal adult with lifeline discount.
I'd give them a buzz, I don't have alot of faith in them!
Pushing it a bit to be back at New St for 10.30 - its a good 20 mins from the ground to jumping on the train at Witton if you leave a few mins early then 10 mins back into Brum.
I'd say its do-able yes, realistic no
Not really had a look at the runners and riders but backed Syncronised at Cheltenham to win so will invest a few quid again on him as an each way. I'm off to Aintree on Friday so the amount I bet on this race and the trainers I back will largely depend on my success on Friday.
My view is usually back the Irish owned/trained horses though for the National
Robbo was a good signing in all fairness, never our most outstanding performer but had plenty of effort in him. Got found out in his last 12 months with us but overall proved good value.
Good luck at Leeds Robbo
Too many to mention:-
The Bournemouth & Hull away week, the pair were brilliant
Aldershot home for the worst day ever, shortly followed by Tranmere at wembley
Wrexham away
Arsenal in the FA Cup - our 4-1 away win (Kelly's goal still stands in my mind)
Marseille away
Least talented squad injuries aside, Norwich & Wigan yes then i'd go with Swansea. They seem to have been lucky with injuries which quite a few others haven't been.
QPR are funny, they look as good as many going forward, thankfully they are crap at the back
I must admit, when we got hammered at Anfield and Klas scored in the last minute, I said to my mate that could be a vital goal come the final reckoning. Goal difference is starting to look very tight down there now!
I saw a stat in the paper with this, Brum had 1 point more at the same stage than Villa do this season - it was a bit on McLeish really. If this is the case, then on a pro-rata basis, 5 points from the last 7 games is what Brum got. We need a win and 2 draws - wouldn't like to risk that few points though
Always a bloody awful game against Fulham at home but they have usually had boring managers who come for a 0-0 draw. Given that Fulham have not a great deal to play for and we have, i'm going for a very narrow twitchy bum time 2-1 last minute win
Saturday was a great day in the end but I thought it was all going to go tits up when they scored. Wolves looked awful from the minute the penalty went in though. I'm thinking QPR & Wigan are not likely to get much, if anything on the road this season so if we win 3 of our 4 home games, I reckon that will be enough to stay up and relatively comfortably too.
I also don't rule out getting points at Villa, Sunderland or Stoke too - or maybe i'm just getting carried away with our recent success
