December 13, 201114 yr I know apart from WBA the team who are bottom of the Barclays Premier League on Christmas Day are relegated, but will it be us? Fixtures before then BOLTON 9pts GD -16 Fulham A Blackburn A BLACKBURN 10pts GD -12 West Brom H Bolton H WIGAN 12pts GD -15 Chelsea H Liverpool H WOLVES 14pts GD -12 Stoke H Norwich H SUNDERLAND 14pts GD 0 Spurs A QPR A I've not include the teams on 15 points as although we can catch them on points our GD is shit.
December 13, 201114 yr Didn't we draw at west ham the second season back in the prem to lift us of the bottom and drop them to bottom. We need something like that at Blackburn next week. Cant see it as they have two home games before Xmas
December 13, 201114 yr When I saw the thread title, I thought it was Freds Dads Christmas present from a very understanding wife/partner..

Cant see it as they have two home games before Xmas How would bottom v second bottom drawing affect those two positions?
December 13, 201114 yr if blackburn win there two winnable homes and the same from wolves we are fked end of
December 13, 201114 yr Defonitly see us bottom at christmas. Cant see us getting anything at Fulham, and maybe a point at Blackburn. Lets do a West Brom!
December 13, 201114 yr Defonitly see us bottom at christmas. Cant see us getting anything at Fulham, and maybe a point at Blackburn. Lets do a West Brom! And go down the next season after the euphoria!
December 13, 201114 yr We would need to win one of those games not to be bottom Santa's gonna have to work his magic for that
December 13, 201114 yr Yes. Next question? Bottom for end of season? Now I'm depressed & It's only Tuesday, cheers for that.
December 13, 201114 yr Author We would need to win one of those games not to be bottom Santa's gonna have to work his magic for that I can't find out how many points WBA had the Christmas they survived but they stayed up on 34 points depsite being bottom on the last day. Oh and they sacked Megson in October and put Bryan Robson in charge.
December 13, 201114 yr And go down the next season after the euphoria! And then come back much better than we are now!
December 13, 201114 yr THe season they were relegated I think Ipswich were bottom with 8pts at Christmas, but then won 7 out of 8 and pull away from the bottom before slumping again and going down. The West Ham game I think the draw at UP kept them bottom and us 2nd bottom. We really need to win one of the Fulham / Blackburn games.

December 13, 201114 yr We are at the minute the worst team in the league. Only a huge change in personnel in January and a slice of luck would see us stay up. I dont know what Coyle or anyone else could do differently from now on in, the damage as been done.

Oh and they sacked Megson in October and put Bryan Robson in charge. They had 16pts from 24 games at Christmas. Managed to get 18pts from their remaining 14 games.

December 13, 201114 yr Since we re-joined the Barclays Premier League: Bottom three clubs at Christmas-----Final relegated clubs 01/02 ----- 20 Ipswich 19 Leicester 18 Derby -------20 Leicester 19 Derby 18 Ipswich 02/03 ----- 20 WHU 19 Bolton 18 WBA -----20 Sunderland 19 WBA 18 WHU 03/04 ----- 20 Wolves19 Leeds 18 Portsmouth -----20 Wolves 19 Leeds 18 Leicester 04/05 ----- 20 WBA 19 Southampton 18 Palace -----20 Southampton19 Norwich 18 Palace 05/06 ----- 20 Sunderland 19 Birmingham 18 Portsmouth -----20 Sunderland19 WBA 18 Birmingham 06/07 ----- 20 Watford 19 Charlton 18 WHU -----20 Watford 19 Charlton18 Sheff U 07/08 ----- 20 Derby19 Wigan 18 Sunderland -----20 Derby19 Birmingham 18 Reading 08/09 ----- 20 WBA 19 Blackburn 18 Man City -----20 WBA19 Middlesbrough 18 Newcastle 09/10 ----- 20 Portsmouth19 WHU 18 Wolves -----20 Portsmouth19 Hull 18 Burnley 10/11 ----- 20 WHU19 Wolves 18 Wigan -----20 WHU19 Blackpool 18 Birmingham As can be seen, apart from our very first season back up in the big time in 2001/02, the three bottom clubs at Christmas have never ALL gone down at the end of the season. After 2001/02, One club in bottom three at Christmas has managed to get out of the relegation places by the end of the season and in each of the last 4 seasons TWO TEAMS have escaped the drop having been in the bottom three on Christmas day.
December 13, 201114 yr Pretty sure we had 10 points in our 1st ever season int Premier League at Christmas, at Burnden when we went straight back down. We got a point at White Hart Lane, just before Christmas to make double figures.
December 13, 201114 yr IF we can get something out of the Fulham match & IF we can beat Blackburn, then I'll have renewed hope........ If not.... the writings on the wall & no mistake.
December 13, 201114 yr What has happened in previous years matters not. AT THE MOMENT we're playing like a team that has already given up.
December 13, 201114 yr What has happened in previous years matters not. AT THE MOMENT we're playing like a team that has already given up. We're clinging on to history Daz. It's about all we have.
