Wigan peer into the abyss

Good news for WHU. Wigan only drawing with Portsmouth last night drops them right back in the mire. The flat-cappers have the worst run-in of the bottom sides, facing Arsenal and Chelsea away along with the Irons at Upton Park and a trip on the highway to Hull.

Burnley are surely down as their remaining four fixtures are Sunderland and Birmingham away and tricky home matches against Liverpool and Spurs.

Hull have a chance of redemption with home games against Aston Villa, Sunderland and Liverpool and away games at Birmingham and Wigan.

With Wigan having to play Hull I'd say that if we can win against Wigan at Upton Park that might be enough, as long as the moons of Saturn are aligned correctly with Professor Brian Cox's head - although it's hardly a triumph to survive on 34 points when Glenn Roeder's side went down with 42...

You know I posted a little segment on my blog about Zola saying judge me at the end of the season.

Well you just hit the nail on the head with this little gem 'although it's hardly a triumph to survive on 34 points when Glenn Roeder's side went down with 42...'

The only reason we are where we are and not sitting DEEP in relegation trouble is because there are two truly truly bad teams below us (which could STILL relegate us work that one out!!)

Yep, after the Liverpool defeat you realise that if Hull and Burnley were not so weak and Portsmouth bust we'd be down by now...
