    I tried to highlight last week that it''s not just league games that count. Obviously only league games collect points. However some of our rivals for the bottom three places have FA Cup, League games and Europa League games (Swansea).

    Sunderland and West Ham have both progressed to semi-finals, and other teams will get further in FA Cup with distractions to the league.

    My prediction is 36 with points from :-

    Newcastle - 1

    Cardiff - 1

    West Ham - 1

    Villa - 1

    Stoke - 3

    Sunderland - 3

    West Brom - 3

    West Brom, West Ham, Cardiff, Fulham, Sunderland and Stoke all on less points.

    Any wins from the other games will be a bonus, but I never expect us to win against top teams so write them off and don''t get excited either way.

    Easily safe this year with some poor teams, however need to take into consideration Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City (Liverpool, Everton and Spurs to an extent) have not dropped as many points compared to other years.

    Since our exit of the cup this week, I thought I''d look into the success and failure of progressing in cup competitions and relegation at the end of season. Both FA Cup and League Cup.

    Some will say what clarifies as success, so this is based on getting to fifth round or further, and only for the last 10 years:-

    2012/13

    Wigan - FA C Winners

    Reading - FA C 5th

    2011/12

    Bolton FA C QF

    Blackburn LC QF

    2010/11

    Birmingham LC Winners and FA C QF

    West Ham LC SF and FA C QF

    2009/10

    Portsmouth FA C Finalist and LC QF

    2008/09

    Middlesbrough FA C QF

    2006/07

    Charlton LC QF

    Watford FA C SF

    2005/06

    Birmingham LC QF and FA C QF

    2004/05

    Southampton FA C QF

    12 teams out of 30. I''m not saying it is a factor, just to see whether there is a correlation between the distraction of league and cup games. Some team also may have played replay.

    Teams still in FA Cup and League Cup this season:-

    Swansea - Birmingham (A)

    Cardiff - Bolton (A)

    Hull - Southend (A)

    Sunderland - Kidderminster (H)

    Palace - Wigan (A)

    Fulham - Sheff U (A)

    West Ham LC SF

    Sunderland LC SF

    Swansea Europa

    Several of the above will progress further in the competitions, with injuries and suspensions!

    Against United there were two incidents that frustrated me..

    1. A simple throw in between Martin and someone. We immediately lost possession and set United on another attack, from our throw in at an attacking stage

    2. A overlap pass from Snoddy to Martin. I don''t think he even looked to see that Russell had not even started the run...the ball went out for a throw.

    Very frustrating - I know every pass, throw, free kick etc is not going to be right, but these are basic football moves. I sometimes think the effort is not there. Wes is the only person I can think will put 100% effort in, even though I may mis-pass or dribble too far
