Pardew: Boro Could Slip Into Trouble - My Football Forum

Is he right?

I think he is, we were completely demolished by a relegation zone side yesterday and were bossed all over the park. We haven't created a proper goal scoring chance in about 4 games, Viduka is effectively playing for another club now, and many of the others have decided the summer has already arrived.

Already only 6 points off the relegation zone and in a massive patch of poor form, I think Boro might go down.

New boro badge for next season

I hope not but our remaining fixtures look hard.

Well i wouldn't be too fussed to be honest. The football we play is **** and the Championship is a good league to be in as we would be fighting for Promotion again. At the moment, its very boring being a boro fan, we are never going to win anything in the Premiership.

The best thing for us to do you be to get relegated.

The thing is though, we need to be in the prem next season for the money that is going to be available.

If we go down, our players will want to leave and we will have to rebuild if we get back in the prem.

Exactly it's a dangerous slope down to the championship for a team like boro who are traditionally a premiership club. The amount of revenue you lose would really hit you.

I'd be absolutely devastated if we dropped into the championship. I don't particularly mind being in the Prem and not winning a whole lot because I know that one day we will start to win things more often. What chace do we have of winning anything in the championship.

You'd have more chance of winning the championship next season if you went down than anything else if you stayed up though. Although obviously that doesn't mean it's worth going down....

Well it will give the club a kind of new start as nothing is happening at the moment. I'm completely bored at the moment with boro.

Don't know about you but I'd much rather be playing Man Utd/Chelsea/Arsenal and losing than going to places like Southend and Luton and winning.

Your only 6 points ahead of Charlton who still have to play a couple of teams in and around that area. Youll need to start winning games to survive because every game it's looking more likely.

Also you got beat by a relegation side because there on good form and you've got pretty bad away form. You've got to win the majority of your remaining home matches
