Going down.....

While things are getting tight at the top of the Premier League, so tight in fact Liverpool are being talked up now of being back in it, things at the bottom are more snug than Mido in a freshly washed Boro shirt.

The bottom eight are all in trouble, and with Derby already doomed as the worst team to ever play in the Premier League, there are only 8 points between Fulham in 19th and Wigan in 12th

In their own way they all deserve to go down;

Wigan have a dreadful pitch. And Titus Bramble.
Middlesbrough have been consistently the most boring team in the Premier League for years now.
Newcastle, too many to mention but lets go for Joey Barton for convenience.
Reading, for failing to invest in the summer to cement their position.
Birmingham for their dodgy accents. Yes I mean Scotttish accents.
Roy Keane's Sunderland for spending 40 Million and still being crap.
Bolton for Diouf and resting 11 players from a European game and still losing the league match they were saved for.
Fulham for the theft of Lawrie Sanchez, the purchase of the Northern Ireland squad and for now trying to be the USA team for some reason.
Derby. Goal Difference -50. Enough said.

I hope Roy Keane's Sunderland and Newcastle stay up. They are the most interesting but life is very unfair.

However nobody could predict how this will play out, but expect hours of terrible football, men with no shirts crying and Titus Bramble contriving to lose at least two games on his own.

From the bench.
