Leeds COULD get out of it

Might be one of those last-ditch escapes we've often seen in the past. If they do, then I agree Barnsley will probably drop instead (and they deserve it, giving their appalling sacking of Andy Ritchie earlier in the season); Luton should be ok, but are in a tailspin and will drop next season for sure. I do think Southend, like Watford in the Prem, have left it too late though; and am convinced QPR are on their way back down too.

Incidentally, in terms of history, QPR are very comparable to Norwich: used to be a top flight club punching above their weight and playing some nice stuff, had one extraordinary season (75/6 to our 92/3) and also won the League Cup (as well as, unlike us, reaching the Cup Final too). Then, like us, they got relegated at just the wrong time, and have never recovered.

Moreover, they patronise themselves as a club and receive patronising coverage as a result; but whereas we've been mid-table for most of the past decade, they've been even worse. Frankly, I'd be devastated if I were a QPR fan at what's happened to my club - not least at the fact that many of its supporters seem to have accepted it with resignation and a shrug of the shoulders too.
