    Mathematically, we need another 10 points at this stage. However that doesn''t take into account fixtures.

    Having took through the fixtures of the Bottom six, these are my conclusions:

    Assuming that they lose when facing a top 5 side, win against everyone else, matches between them go as badly for us as possible, and we lose every match, these would be the standings:

    Villa 50 points

    Bolton 48 points

    Blackburn 40 points

    Wigan 40 points

    Norwich 39 points

    QPR 37 points

    Wolves 34 points

    So are we safe yet? well not even by this reduced measure, but several key matches can be highlighted:

    WBA v Blackburn - the first match which would save us by this measure.

    Blackburn v Norwich - Blackburn must win this one or we are safe.

    Wigan v Newcastle - a match which doesn''t hit top 5 criteria, but almost does.

    Blackburn v Wigan - Wigan must win this or we are safe.

    Wigan v Wolves - Wigan must win this one as well, or again we are safe.

    Oh and on this, Wigan win 4/4 at the end of the season.

    I''d like another David Fox, maybe one who is a bit better defensively, but not at the expense of the creative play.

    Full backs are a priority as well. Naughton and Drury looking unlikely to be here means that we need one each side.

    We probably want another forward as well, as we only really have two scoring.

    I don''t see why they should be balanced.

    There are three categories of club (before the start of the season)

    T) Top 6: ManU, ManC, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool

    M) Middle 7: Newcastle, Sunderland, Everton, Fulham, Villa, Bolton, Stoke

    B) Bottom 6: WBA, Wolves, Wigan, Blackburn, Swansea, QPR

    Which would go category A, B and C naturally as you argue.

    But there are also three kinds of matches:

    GT) Bank holiday weekends and school holidays.

    NT) Ordinary Weekends.

    BT) Midweek Matches.

    And of course Televised/Not. If you rank them with giving 3 points for T and time span GT, 2 points for M and time span NT and 1 point for B and time span BT and then taking off a point for it being on TV you could assign the bands:

    A = 5 or 6 points

    B = 3 or 4 points

    C = 1 or 2 points

    You get things like Fulham (M) on Dec 31st (GT) not on TV with 5 points in band A and Wigan (B) on March 11th (NT) on TV with 2 points in band C.

    With the small number of midweek games and not really getting big teams on premium match rounds, we will have a higher number of band A than band C.

    I really want Blackburn to stay up, because I doubt they will improve over the summer. Same with Wigan for that matter. On the other hand QPR, Bolton and Wolves have much more potential to improve for next season.

    So I''d like QPR, Bolton and Wolves to go down.

    However, I expect Wigan definitely will go down with Bolton and Blackburn.

    My own effort. With thanks to the title for inspiration. And now its clear why this song isn''t used much for chants.

    This is the greatest and best team in the world. . . tribute.

    Long time ago me and my brother Adam here,...

    we was hitchhikin'' down a long and lonesome road.

    All of a sudden,

    there skulked a boasty binner...

    in the middle...

    of the road.

    And he said:

    "Play the best stuff in the world,

    or I''ll eat your souls (whisper:Souls)."

    Well me and Adam,... we looked at each other,

    and we each said...

    "Okay."

    And we played the first thing that came to our heads,

    Just so happened to be,

    The Best Team in the World,

    we were The Best Team in the World.

    Look into my eyes and it''s easy to see

    Holt and Holt make two,

    Holt again makes it three,

    And then Wesley.

    Once again every six months or so,

    When Surman doth shine and Jackson doth flow

    and MacAuley own goal---

    Needless to say,

    the scum were stunned.

    Whip sack went his muppet evans,

    And Roy Keane was done.

    He asked us:

    "(snort) BE you united?"

    And we said,

    "Nay.

    We are but city

    Rock!!

    Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahn,

    Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!

    This is not The Greatest Team in the World, No

    This is just a tribute.

    We all remember The Greatest Team in the World, Yeah.

    Yeah!

    This is a tribute, oh,

    To The Greatest Team in the World,

    All right!

    It was The Greatest Team in the World,

    All right!

    And it was the best mother fuckin'' team,

    The Greatest Team in the world!

    Allllllright!

    ''Ti Tuga digga tu Gi Friba fligugibu Uh Fligugigbu Uh Di Ei Friba Du Gi Fligu fligugigugi Flilibili Ah

    (Bow) (Bow) (Bow) (Ooh) (Bow) (Bi)

    Fligu wene mamamana Sacrebleu!

    (Mene) (LUCIFER)!

    (guitar solo)

    And the peculiar thing is this my friends:

    the Team we played on that fateful night it didn''t actually look

    anything like this team!

    This is just a tribute!

    You gotta believe it!

    And I wish you were there!

    When we beat em five one.

    Ah, ****!

    Good God, God lovin'' ,

    So surprised to find you can''t stop me,now.

    I''m on fire--

    O hallelujah I''m found! Rich mother****er compadre

    simultaniously:oooh/(Demonic)aaaaah!

    All right!

    All right!

    I''m another on the "over 30 please" bandwagon.

    Personally, I find it strange that people who worry about not signing proven premiership strikers and worry about the number of premiership games our team have played in total, desperately want to go into the season with all three keepers that are 5 years or more from their peak with no Premier league experience.

    I also find it strange that people are bleating on about "another league one winger" in Pilkington want FF on the basis of playing for us in league one, where he managed to single handedly lose the Leeds match, got sent off TWICE and managed to concede 2 penalties in 10 minutes against Tranmere.

    Furthermore, it seems to me that people who don''t want FF back because of the effect on Ruddy, are not concerned about the presence of another keeper, but about that keeper being in particular FF. In particular, a keeper that was better than Ruddy (and isn''t FF) would allow us to have Ruddy on the bench at the same level, providing competition, whereas FF would probably mean we still need a backup.

    I do want another keeper, and if we get one that is better than Ruddy and Ruddy becomes backup, then that will be lovely. However it is not like Forster is the only keeper out there who is better than Ruddy, there are quite a few. Indeed there are many that are better than both Ruddy and Forster and have experience and don''t carry the extra price that goes with potential - potential being a commodity that is highly priced in the market for which we have we do not need, indeed possibly have reason to not want.
