Baggies stays up!

Wat an amazing relegation battle. WBA, Norwich, Crystal Palace and Southamptom all struggling for survival today. And boy oh boy, who would imagine the team lying at the bottom of the table would leapfrog the other 3 teams who failed to win their matches and go on to clinch a place in the Premier League next season? Well done Baggies!

The day started brightly for the Saints when an O'Shea's o.g. put them ahead. And it was more good news for them when relegation rivals Norwich and Palace were each down by a goal. Then disaster strike. Darren Fletcher drew level for the scums and Palace got the equalizing goal. Norwich by now is out of contention after being 2-0 down at half time. They went on losing 6-0 at the final whistle. wat a shame. It was all very quiet down at the Hawthorns.

Soton started the 2nd half strongly but Van Horse's header dealt a heavy blow to them... just after news of WBA's goal was announced. By then the Saints were both mentally and physically drained. There was a twist in the battle when Crystal Palace went 2-1 up thanks to AJ's penalty kick. Soton never found a way back. WBA went 2-0 up in the dying minutes and Charlton's late equalizer against Palace ended the relegation battle. Suddenly, the Baggies found themselves up and lying on the 17th position... safe from relegation.

With Norwich, Palace and Soton down, i think its time we get some good quality players cheap from them. Great players up for grabs are mainly Wayne Routledge, Antti Niemi, Henri Camara, Dean Ashton and Aki Riihilahti. Deffo not Peter Crouch.
