Re: 2011-12 EPL Thread

I wouldnt be jumping the gun after QPRs last game.
I will be following it more next year when the Saints are back up!
Its been all championship for me last cple of years

Your right about that ledge. While we will definitely go in overwhelming favourites against QPR you can never take any match lightly as QPR this weekend we give it ago because they are near the drop zone. The Championship while not of the same level as the EPL is a popular league as many former EPL teams obviously go in there. I think Leeds from memory are in the Championship remembering at one stage they were in the Champions League Semi Final one year when they were strong. When a team gets relegated the lose a lot and usually must bounce back straight away and get promoted if not then it could take 5-10 years till they come up again. With Championship though if you finish top 6 you are always a chance.

Portsmouth went from premier league to championship league, 2 FA cup finals , one win and now are bottom and in administration , its sad.
Arry is a great manger but usually leaves teams broke or well on their way to broke.

Saints should be up next year sitting on top 6 points and goal difference above West Ham (3rd) six games to go.

Portsmouth come up from the lower divisions and when the made the EPL did very well for what resources they had. Now ever since they go relegated it has gone from bad to worse. A team I read about Accrington Stanley who went defunct in 1962 and then come back again and had to work its way up through the leagues outside the football league till the eventually made it back to the Football League.

Fulham had a great away win against Bolton at the Reebok Stadium 3-0 , we just havn,t been very strong in away games again this season and we would be much higher up the table thats for sure ,Clint Dempsey again showed the world he is on current form one of the best midfielders in the world , Duff the Man of the Match by a country mile , Diarra capped a quality performance with his first goal for the Club , Ruiz injured ( possible broken bone in his foot ) ,

Next game comes very quickly , Chelski on Monday , they will be forced to rotate their squad to keep fresh , Mr Jol will only be able to make one or three changes , big Pavel Pogrebnyak aka The Apogalypse will be the biggest inclusion if he passes a fitness test COYW !!!!!!!!

Ross County are marching on towards promotion to the SPL , 29 games unbeaten now after defeating Livingston 3 - 1 , we just need one point to win Division One and secure our place in the SPL , GO STAGGIES !!!!!!!!!!!!

Chelsea were lucky, clear off side that goal.
Emphasized how hard teams fighting for their lives are to play.

It was, but you have to take the good with the bad and we have had plenty of bad so far this season.

We have been doing that for weeks now and it is starting to take it's toll. I'm a bit worried about this game TBH and we really can't afford to drop games like this.

Go Chelski
