Today I'll be writing about the Rock-Bottoms. The title is asking if the last places of England, Germany and the Netherlands can get out of relegation zone; if they can stay with the big clubs; and if they can stay in the first league. Today I will make an analysis about that.
GERMANY
We will be starting with Germany. In Germany last place is Mönchengladbach. Can they get back to the middle? Below this are the statistics and the answer.
Bottom four standings Relegation spot: *
TEAM PTS GAMES
15. 1. FC Köln 19 19
16. FC Sankt Pauli * 19 19
17. VFB Stuttgart * 16 19
18. Mönchengladbach * 13 19
Last 3 games :
1. FC Köln: 1. FC Köln-Werder Bremen 3-0
Kaiserslautern-1. FC Köln 1-1
Schalke 04- 1. FC Köln 3-0
FC Sankt Hoffenheim-FC Sankt Pauli 2-2
Pauli: FC Sankt Pauli-Freiburg 2-2 Havard Nordtveit (on loan from Arsenal
FC Sankt Pauli-Mainz 2-4 to Gladbach)
Stuttgart: B. Dortmund-Stuttgart 1-1
Stuttgart-Mainz 1-0
Stuttgart-B. München 3-5
Gladbach: Gladbach-Leverkusen 1-3
1. FC Nürnberg-Gladbach 0-1
Gladbach-Hamburger SV 1-2
My opinion:
The way I see it, Gladbach is staying right where they are. Their good signings (including Nordtveit on loan from Arsenal) will keep the team from going down.
I think 1. FC Köln will end up going down to the second, also because they did not sign anyone big, and their new coach is helping, but not a lot.
VFB Stuttgart is easily going to stay in the first league given their recent games: they will make it.
FC Sankt Pauli will go down as last place the way I see it... they are going further and further and further down.
Werder Bremen is falling down, and even though they're not in the bottom four, they will go down anyway.
Here is my conclusion to this league:
16. Werder Bremen
17. 1. FC Köln
18. FC Sankt Pauli
ENGLAND
In England you probably know that West Ham United is last place, but it's still a tight race to the finish line.
Bottom four Standings Relegation spot: *
TEAM PTS GAMES
17. Birmingham 23 22
18. Wigan 22 23
19. Wolves 21 23
20. West Ham 21 24
Last 3 games:
Birmingham: Man. United-Birmingham 5-0
Birmingham-Aston Villa 1-1
Blackpool-Birmingham 1-2
Wigan: Arsenal-Wigan 3-0
Wigan-Fulham 1-1
Bolton-Wigan 1-1
Wolves: Wolves-Liverpool 0-3
Man.City-Wolves 4-3
Wolves-Chelsea 1-0
West Ham Everton-West Ham 2-2
West Ham-Arsenal 0-3
Newcastle-West Ham 5-0
Demba Ba (Transfered from
Hoffenheim to West Ham)
My opinion:
I had a very hard time figuring this out and it was a tight decision, but I came to a conclusion. Birmingham is definitely a team to go down, they just don't have enough quality. The only thing they can hope for is their new player David Bentley, who is only on loan.
One thing I am sure of, even though it was a tough decision, is that the Wolves are going to go down. The Wolves only bought wonder boy Adam Hammill. That's an okay signing but they need bigger signings or the won't make it. The Wolves have actually got a good team but they don't click together; they still need some time to work on their chemistry as a team. For example, they lost 4-3 against Manchester City - there you could see that the attack was played pretty well; however, the defense was exactly the opposite. I'm not saying the defense is bad because for another example the Wolves played a 1-1 against the better-than-average team of Everton.
West Ham to me will sadly but truly go down although they bought good players like Demba Ba. I don't think it is going to work out as proven in the Carling Cup Semi-Final versus Birmingham (3-2). Here is my final answer.
18. West Ham
19. Birmingham
20. Wolves
By the way
The reason I will not be writing statistics about Italy and Spain is because it always ends the same.
Netherlands
Lastly I will report about Holland. In Holland Willem II is last place. Can they bounce back up?
Bottom 4 Standings: Relegation Spot :*
TEAM PTS GAMES Play-off spot :+
15. Vitesse 18 20
16. Excelsior + 16 20
17. vvv-Venlo + 10 20

Last 3 Games:
Vitesse: Willem II-Vitesse 1-0
NAC-Vitesse 1-1

Excelsior-NAC 1-3

Veli Lampi ( Transferred from once
Swiss Champion FC Zürich to Willem II)
Willem II: Willem II-Vitesse 1-0
Den Haag-Willem II 2-1
NEC-Willem II 3-1
My opinion:
This league is being is being reviewed because I'm Dutch and my favorite team is Feyenoord. Anyway, Vitesse is going to the play-offs as I see it; first of all because Willem II won their first game against them, and also because they won't make it up through the Transfer Window, but rather down.
Excelsior is the team in the clear for me; this team from Rotterdam is doing okay compared to vvv-Venlo and the others. I believe Excelsior will also make it because of their amazingly fast striker Guyon Fernandez.
vvv- Venlo is the loser of the lot right now. Statistically seen, vvv-Venlo will end up last, I think. The only reason they stayed in the first league anyway was because Keisuke Honda played for them, but he's gone now, taking his team of stylists with him.
Willem II is doing well and starting to win and draw the games they need to win. This was proven by their victory against Vitesse last weekend. Willem II have actually made some good moves by buying once Swiss champion Veli Lampi, pictured above. Here is my final answer:
Win the play-off's: ¨£
16. Vitesse ¨£
17. Willem II¨£
18. vvv-Venlo
