old_eastender Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'd actually like to see Blackburn win by a single goal tomorrow, whilst Brum lose to Huddersfield (making us 100% safe) and Forest beat QPR. That way Brum would have to beat us to avoid the drop and even if they did it could see QPR going down. I'd much rather Blackburn survived and one of Brum or QPR drop. I see Blackburn as likely to be struggling again next season, whereas Brum and especially QPR (who have 2 more seasons of parachute payments to come) are likely to be much more of a threat to us.

Meh Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Whatever guarantees our safety before we kick off. That said - love to see the Venkys getting more stick !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I don't massively care who goes down as long as we are safe by kick off tomorrow. That said, my flatmates is a QPR season ticket holder so I'd like to see them stay up. If I had the choice I think I'd like to see Birmingham relegated due to their bad managerial decisions. Plus the chance to laugh at Redknapp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'm not bothered who ends up going down but I really hope Brum desperately need a result at our place. Would add a juicy edge to the fixture with 2500 Brummies biting their nails and 20,000+ of us gunning for them! A loss for them coupled by a single goal win for Villa would do nicely.. And ideally Newcastle will drop points at Brighton tonight so they are already champions before tomorrow. I work with a Villa fan and he says they are so desperate for Brum to go down that a large number of their fans will be supporting Blackburn tomorrow!

Bar BS3 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'd find Brum or QPR being relegated more amusing, but I'd also rather have fixtures against them next season than Vs Blackburn. Beating Brum but them staying up by default of a late defeat for Blackburn would make make for a dramatic final game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 As others have said any combination that makes us mathematically safe suits me, so if Blackburn don't win that is it. Should they do so then a QPR win would also virtually guarantee it, as Forest would then only be able to reach 51 points and would by definition have an even worse goal difference.. This is assuming a narrow defeat at Brighton, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 The first result I'll look for tomorrow will be Blackburn. They're the only team that could catch us but only with two wins and two City defeats. Citys goal difference is essentially another point so we are 99% safe. I would like to Forest go down buts unfortunately that's unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider red Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 QPR and forest draw, the rest lose including Burton, leaves us 100% safe to beat brum on final day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I really don't care who goes down so long as it's not us . Blackburn , Brum and QPR are basket case clubs and deserve relegation for their ridiculous management of their respective clubs . I hope Burton stay up now as they've battled over and above the call of duty and I take my titfer off to them . Here's to mathematical safety Saturday so that the more anxious of our supporters can enjoy the last week of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'm hoping Blackburn go down. Venky's are awful and deserve it. Also, QPR staying up means an easy to get to London game for me next season, which would be nice given that Brighton are up and Fulham could go as well. Are you hoping for a Newcastle win tonight or do we want them to lose (albeit to Cardiff) so that Brighton are hungover tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bissellredhead Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I want Birmingham to go down. Will serve their owners right for making such a flabbergasting decision to get rid of rowett!

Thinking about it I'm hoping for the same. If Newcastle lose tonight then we get a Brighton team who don't really care, we get a real party atmosphere in the Amex, and get to do the guard of honour as you say. It will also make me feel a little better about that god awful bonfire night game at our place. Do we know if they would be presented with the trophy tomorrow or is it always saved for the final game of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'm hoping the play offs are done and dusted tomorrow and Brum are in the bottom 3. Then sky will surely have us on the telly next eek, especially as Redknapp's face as they are relegated will be priceless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes down to it I can't see it happening. Villa going in front with a 20yarder into the top corner, fans going mental. If this was City in the same situation would you then be cheering Blackburn on for an equaliser? Got to be nigh on impossible to while at a City game to cheer on the opposition!!!

I assume that if they know before KO tomorrow that Brighton are champions then they'll have the presentation then, as it's their last home game. A guard of honour and watching them get the trophy wouldn't be a bad thing. LJ can use it as a motivational tool, show them that's the level they need to aspire to, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeneys Penalties Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 as my old coach used to say... "don't wish others were better, you get better". I'd love to see Venkys sunk tomorrow, but the truth is that a season lasts 46 games and I'd very much like City to be captain of their own destiny. Best of luck to Cardiff tonight (I feel a bit queasy now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLionLad Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I want Blackburn to go down. With Sunderland, Middlesbrough and possibly Hull coming down......then Sheffield Utd, Bolton and possibly Fleetwood coming up, that will save a little bit on next year's mileage. Swansea might beat Hull to the final drop place, so that will help too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
