2011. Bells chime and endless resolutions are made and broken in the space of seconds. But for the clubs at the bottom of the Premiership, the outcome to any resolutions made is out of their hands unless their form improves dramatically.
With four points separating the bottom eight teams the race to beat the drop this year is as difficult to predict as ever. As most football fans who get free bets know, only once in the Premier league’s history has the drop been avoided when a club has been bottom on Christmas day, but this season could well see West Brom joined in the league history books.
Perhaps most surprising of all the clubs caught up in the relegation battle is Alex McLeish’s Birmingham. Off the back of an excellent season last time around and with the backing of Carson Yeung’s millions, most of those who Bet with Paypal predicted the Blues would be heading towards the summit of the table rather than wallowing at its foot.
Most observers would predict that the fiery Scot will soon score that elusive away win and ease them away from danger. Generously keeping Birmingham off the bottom of the table is fellow Midlands based outfit Wolves, who have yet to show any indication they will move from that position for the remainder of the season.
The obdurate Mick McCarthy is likely to think otherwise, and if Kevin Doyle can find his scoring form as he did last season, they may well avoid the drop. Completing the bottom three at the turn of the year is another surprise package
