I'm going for southampton, Villa and Reading.Villa have been terrible only Benetke is saving them at present and I don't think that will be enough.Southampton have just shot themselves in the foot and Reading are just not good enough.The Newcastle situation is strange they are only 2 points above the relegation places.I keep thinking it's only a matter of time until Newcastle get a few decent results but it's just not happening for them.Everyone says they are too good to go down but they have form for this, it's happened in the not so distant past.

i think newcastle have suffered with their injuries, due to their small-ish squad and now the loss of Ba, coupled with a crisis in confidence. I won't be surprised to see another 3 or 4 players arrive there this window, should be enough to steady the ship.

on MOTD it looked like newcastle would have been out of sight with a bit of luck.

A couple of signings are needed alright with a replacement for Ba being a priority.They cerainly need to steady the ship and soon.They should have been comfortable at home yesterday to Reading, dropping 3 points was a shocking outcome for them.Luck should not be required against sides like that.

As long as Martinez is at Wigan, I want them to stay up.

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

Wigan are an absolute conundrum; every season they seem to have to fight to stave off relegation and, on that basis, they have the experience of being in such a desperate situation, which should work in their favour.

On the other hand, being perpetually involved in the relegation battle each season must, surely, mean that at some point their luck will run out and they will inevitably go down, doesn't it ??
