I am amazed they have started as well as they have, they don't have a single Premier League striker on their books.
Please God/Allah/Buddha/Jehovah let them get relegated, it would be so, so sweet but, sadly, I reckon that Swansea are certs for the drop as are Norwich which leaves one place for the other dross to fight over and there are plenty of candidates.
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but:
FOOTBALL manager Neil Warnock’s televised comments that his team played like “fairies” have been deemed unacceptable by BBC bosses after a viewer complained.
The Queens Park Rangers boss made the remark in a Match Of The Day interview following a 2-2 draw against Cardiff City in April.
A viewer claimed it was “a homophobic stereotype” and should not have been shown. Today the BBC apologised and agreed it should not have been aired.
Homophobic stereotype my arse!

I like his latest gem:
I've only read about the abusive chants, but I'm afraid in today's society nothing surprises me," he said on Friday.
"You see what happens when Liverpool play United, the abuse that managers get. Stewards look away - some of them even smile at the abuse you get.
"I think they (fans) should be put in prison for about two years each, but that's just me flying a kite, isn't it?
"It's all right saying we're going to look into it, but you can't look into that.
"When you see the hatred in some of these guys' faces... it's frightening. You're probably talking about guys who wear suits to work all week.
"It's all very well to say you're getting rid of the excess when you go to a football match, but some of it goes way over the top."
I suppose when he abuse is directed at a ref or a lino by himself it becomes different!
Just read this quote on a wiki page: "In 2010 the FA aimed to shoot a video designed to discourage anti-gay hate-chants on the terraces, however, they reportedly couldn't find a player from the Premier League willing to endorse it and so postponed the video.[21] Pundits believed that players were scared to associate themselves with homosexuality."
So good on Powell for standing up for what he believes in: so far only Wycombe, Charlton and Brighton have signed the charter - even though it has been available since March.
Who cares?
I've no problem with condemnation of homophobia being old enough to remember "queer bashing" in the seventies and seeing the damage done to a colleague who suffered it.
That said condemnation of Warnock for use of the word "fairies" is way over the top and likely to do more harm than good. Rather like the white illiberal liberals who trot out the falsehood that Muslims are anti Christmas every year etc, etc.
Still in these times I suppose the PC lobby have to keep themselves in employment by stoking up the flames of resentment.
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,--
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
I suppose the two dustmen could be termed as Fairy Dust Men!!
