Man City, Cov City and Brad City.

Anyone sad to see any of them go down?

Good to shut the Man City fans up!

Shame to see Cov go down as it's an away game which is easy for me to get to, although I won't miss Strachan's moanings, which have lessened recently as he's realised it's not always the ref's fault.

No real feelings for Bradford and never an away game I tried to get to.

Yes,

I was genuinely sad to see City go down. Real football fans who give their club everything - that still doesn't mean I have to like them mind. A bit like us the fans deserve more than the club can deliver.

To be fair though they deserved to go down. I watched the match last night and Ipswich were miles better - They seem to be playing the same style as when Robson was in charge. That's what comes of having continuity, some of the players were mentioned as having played 250 and 130 or so consecutive games - no injuries or suspensions. Doesn't it make you sick when you think about our bunch of sicknotes.

I put this down, at least in part, to the youth and coaching system that Robson developed when he was in charge. I hope he's going to do the same for us. We might not see the results for 5 years but it will pay off in the long run.

I couldn't help noticing that the vast majority of Ipswich players were British. I do think that helps team spirit and understanding.

So going on the time scale it took for Bobby's work to come to fruition we should see the success in about 20 years time?!

Back to the relegated bunch!

Was it me or were some Man.City fans singing 'Millwall, Millwall, here we come' last night!

Felt sorry for City. I thought they battled superbly last night against a technically better side. The City defence looked great for 80 minutes and then slipped up twice. Steve Howey was immense for City.

My final thought was that I thought City looked a better team than us, and thank the sweet lord we picked up so many points before Xmas, or we could well have been in their place.

Sad for City, especially when the Ipswich fans were singing "you're going down in a minute" in stoppage time !

Who's next seasons bottom 3 gonna be?

I go for 3 from Boro, Derby, Leicester, Southampton and the team that comes through the playoffs.

I'll go for 3 from Leicester, Southampton, US or the team that comes up in the play offs....

We've fluked a few wins we didn't deserve this season...take them away and we're showing definite relegation form....i'm sick of chopping and changing managers but fuck me, his buys just aren't playing and his tactics just aren't working!

If the question is who were the worst three sides you saw at SJP this season ? Well for me it was Newcastle v Coventry, Newcastle v Boro and Leicester.

Whoops sorry, I forgot us against Southampton, and us against Man City

I can't honestly say I saw a single side that impressed me at SJP this season, and it's amazing to think that we beat Leeds, Ipswich, and Liverpool and yet lost to Man City, Boro and Everton.

Man Utd, Sunderland and Chelsea would be nice. :-)

It would be good to see Ferguson emulate Clough in his final season, wonderful to see Master Bates going down (what a sickening thought - it would be impossible to tell which was - er - let me leave that one to your imagination) and after Sunderland's record duration in the premiership they must be overdue by now.

Most sad to see Coventry go. Always liked Strachan jumping around like a deranged leprachaun. Also they're a non-offensive team and one we can usually have a good chance of beating.

Was hoping ManCity would stay up not only cause they've got a good following but also cause it seems like half their team is made up of Toon rejects so I've got a soft spot for em. ;-)

Bradford....eh. I like the underdogs, but they really had no chance this season.

I was genuinely sad to see City go down.

'scuse me if Im wrong, but weren't ALL THREE called City, or is this just another assumption that everyone know who is being referded to by their second name, or are we trying the bring things in line with that other Mancester team.

Over to you Softie!

Where's Mancester?

Clarky, the one and only team that left any great impression on me was Ipswich, even though we beat them. I can remeber quite a few shite ones, and that includes us on a regular basis post-xmas.
