It's a bit short sighted to just look at the game in isolation, even if we will stay in 15th. We have to go to United and Wigan and then host City. Lose those 3 and there's every chance we could find ourselves in the bottom 3.
Must admit, I was pretty sceptical about the rumours previously, but now it's pretty obvious that there is at least some truth to them and I won't be dismissing such rumours out of hand in the future.
