Relegation Watch: Tottenham, West Ham, Manchester City, Newcastle and Sunderland all struggling
The Premier League relegation race
Who the hell is Ricky Sbragia?
Crazy name, great manager apparently. I ask the question because, as a Spurs fan, I’m not happy. A couple of weeks ago we were flying up the table like a Christmas angel on eggnog and now this Sbragia fella turns up and Sunderland have leapfrogged us.
The problem is, what with Big Sam at the Rovers and the silver fox at St James, it’s all a bit squeaky bum time again. If it weren’t for little Gianfranco, we’d be in big trouble. Why can’t the little clubs just roll over like good chaps and let the likes of Tottenham glide serenely away from the unseemly melee that is the bottom three?
The next thing you know, the bloody Baggies will be winning again…
Hand on heart, I haven’t got a clue who’s going down anymore. At the moment, I think it depends what day of the week it is.
I honestly don’t believe the transfer window is going to make a damn difference. The way this season has panned out so far, anything could happen and probably will. At this rate, the Hammers will sack Zola in March and go on a 10-match winning run and qualify for the Uefa Cup. Spurs, meanwhile, will poach Ramos from Real Madrid and lift the Carling Cup.
One thing, however, is for certain. Mark Hughes will be spending more time in his garden before the end of the season…

Who are the “little” clubs that you want to roll over Lets look at Sunderland, bigger crowd than spurs, bigger stadium than spurs and in the past certainly not short of a few bob same can be said of the mags as well
It seems like Newcastle start pulling away from relegation then all of a sudden all the other teams win a couple of impossible games!!
I’d pick West Brom and Stoke to go down. The 3rd spot is wide open right now but it won’t be Spurs. With Harry at the helm it wouldn’t surprise me if they finished in the top 10.
I think Spurs will go down, they Harry Redknapp-effect isn’t working that much any more, and if he makes some stupid signings in the January transfer window, they could start spiralling down again. I really like Spurs but I think there is quite a big chance of that happening.
well its going to be close that looks certian.W.B.A.Stoke,westham might struggle to if they sell any of there players thats for sure.If spurs don’t get some strikers in they could go down instead.You need to score goals to avoid going down.And if villa can add to its squad some more quality cover they just might win the prem.They need to keep hold of young though?.
Is it necessary to use a picture of dogs fighting
In America dog fighting is illegal
This one is pretty disturbing
A few weeks ago, Harry was the saviour after a few lucky results. Now that Tottenham are losing games on a regular basis again, it surely won’t be long until that fickle bunch at White Hart Lane start screaming for his head. Just like they did for Ramos, Jol, Santini…..You could go on and on. To look down your snouts at clubs like Sunderland is bang out of order. How long has it been now since Tottenham were a “big” club. I think the answer is about 48 years. Reality check in need for all those Yids out there!
an editorial choice, Langway. i’ll try for something different next time.
Who do you think you are, saying that sunderland are a “little club” and should just roll over. I think that the Baggies,Blackburn and the Mags will get relegated The mags in teh championship that would be mint
As a Sunderland fan, I think people are taking this article slightly too seriously. Its obviously tounge in cheek and hes actually praising the clubs like Sunderland and Stoke. However good we are, people expect us to struggle and theres a tone of irony in calling us the little clubs.
