[meccano]

This so so we can keep track of the 10 teams that are close to us both above and below in the relegation zone.

Here is the analysis of the clubs next fixtures.

I think that this is a fairly easy next 5 games. We should be looking for wins against Treviso,Ascoli and Messina and there is also a chance we could pick up points against Livorno and possibbly Fiorentina. I think we could do really well here and anything over 6 points would be good.

Lecce
Cagliari
Reggina Estimated Points: 2
Juventus
Chievo
Palermo
Poor old Lecce. It doesent seem to get any easier for them does it. In there next 5 games it would seem unlikely that they could get more than 3 points. If they were to fail to get any points in this period you would have to say it would be lights out for Lecce. Even though i do like Lecce i wouldnt be too sad to see them down there, simply because they occupy a relegation place. It doesent look good for Lecce.
Ascoli:
Parma
Sampdoria Estimated Points: 5
Messina
Udinese
Roma
This fixture list could be a tough one for Ascoli. If they fail to get any points against us they could be in big trouble. It looks unlikly they will get any points against Roma, Udinese and Sampdoria this will mean this 5 fixtures rely on points against a Parma side that have been very good lately and Messina.

Reggina:
Milan
Lecce
Livorno Estimated Points: 7
Treviso
Lazio
A fairly easy looking next 5 fixtures for Reggina. They should look to beat Lecce and Treviso and should pick up at least a point in the Livorno,Lazio and Milan games. With 7 points Reggina could look to stay out the way of a big relegation threat for the time being.

Cagliari:
Lecce
Milan Estimated Points: 4
Chievo
Livorno
Fiorentina
This seems like a fairly tough 5 fixtures for Cagliari. They will look to beat Lecce but it will seem hard for them to get many points against the likes of Fiorentina,Livorno,Chievo and Milan. If they get less than 4 points in these 5 fixtures they could find themselves in the drop zone.

Udinese:
Lazio
Siena
Inter Estimated points: 5
Ascoli
Palermo

4 weeks ago when i began to write the relegation system i diddnt include Udinese but now they have found themselves in hot water. There next 5 games are by now means easy and with UEFA cup fixtures tiring out there players you begin to wonder if they could really be in big trouble. The key games should be Ascoli and Siena but both sides are not playing badly and Udinese have been on a very bad run as of late.

Empoli:
Palermo
Roma
Treviso Estimated Points: 3
Milan
Chievo
Empoli are a team we really need to do badly and with these fixtures that could happen. I dont think they will pick up any points against Palermo or Roma which means they wont move out the zone. They should be able to overpower Treviso but then they face Milan and Chievo, both sides are having a bad run as of late but you wouldnt expect them to slip up against Empoli. Empoli could be in hot water which is AWSOME news for Parma fans.

Treviso
Chievo
Parma
Empoli Estimated Points: 3
Reggina
Siena
These 5 fixtures could decide Trevisos fate. If they fail to pick up more than 2 points i think it might be lights out for them. They face some tough opposistion and they will have to perform at there best to get some points. Realisticly i cant see them getting more than 5 points at best, and they need at least this to stay in touch.

Messina:
Sampdoria
Juventus
Ascoli Estimated points: 5
Parma
Lecce

Messina will be pushed to pick up points against Sampdoria and Juventus but to be fair you would expect them to win at least one of the games between Ascoli,Parma and Lecce. However if they fail to win any of these games they could be in huge trouble.

Siena:
Roma
Udinese
Sampdoria Estimated points: 4
Fiorentina
Treviso

Out of all the relegation teams i want to see Siena go down the most. They have some problems in there fixture list as its unlikly they will get a point against Roma,Udinese,Sampdoria and Fiorentina. With back to back losses in these games they would be right next to the relegation zone. They then face Treviso where they would look to get some points back, but this could put them in a problem with there next 5 fixtures

I wrote that so dont let Meccano fool you


At the moment we are looking really good. We just have to hope empoli cant keep going and slip up.

Right here we go another edition of the Relegation 10. Dammit cant someone pay me for doing this



Reggina v Livorno

Reggina sit above us by only 1 point and we really need them to lose this game. Looking at the table you would say Livorno would be favourites but away from home i wouldnt trust them too much. Parma Talents prediction: Draw

Ascoli v Messina

A Killer game as i like to call them. I think you would most probly favour Ascoli being at home and higher in the leauge but i would not take that for granted. Messina are in a bad posistion at the moment and on paper i think Messina look like a stronger side. Should be a great game: Parma Talents prediction: Messina Win

Cagliari v Chievo

An interesting game. Cagliari like Messina will be very keen to get some points from this game as they do not want Parma to get too far ahead of them. Being at home Cagliari have an advantage and Chievo have been a bit inconsistant lately. Should be another great game. Parma Talents prediction: Draw

Empoli v Treviso

Unfortunatly another KILLER GAME. Either way i think there is some good news coming out of this game.If Empoli win its safe to say Treviso are relegated. If Treviso win its probly too late for them anyway and as long as Empoli keep losing Parma cant be relegated. Empoli have still yet to get a point with their new manager but i think that is soon to change as i think they should win this game. Parma Talents prediction: Draw

Inter v Udinese

Well Udinese are in trouble to put it simply. I cant see them getting anything from this game which will put them right in trouble. A loss in this game and they will be in HUGE trouble. I think in this game you have to go with Inter being at home. Parma Talents prediction: Inter Win


Juve v Lecce

Juve have been poor lately. Drawing with Parma and Messina then losing against Werder Bremen!! Still though at home i think they should send Lecce down. I think if Lecce lose this its all over. Being over 10 points behind after this game its going to be almost impossibble for Lecce. Parma Talents prediction: Juve win

Siena v Sampdoria

Sampdoria were shocking last weel and i wouldnt rely on them to win this. However we really do need them to. If Siena get too far away then it rules them out. We need a good Sampdoria win but away from home i dont think its likely. Parma Talents Prediction: Draw


Looking at these results we need a draw to keep us where we are then a win against Messina would keep us safe for a while. FORZA PARMA

[Parma Talent]

Sorry its a bit late i had a Tennis and Cricket match last night!

Milan v Empoli

Empoli are the main team we want to do badly and lately they have been doing just that. Sneaking an equaliser about 4 minuets into stoppage time against Treviso and apart from that point havent got any others with there new manager. Milan should win this game easily as its at home but you never know. Parma Talents prediction: Milan Win

Fiorentina v Siena


Siena are looking comfterable lately and we dont want this. Hopefully Fiorentina will stop them getting to far out of harms way. At home you have to favour Fiorentina who must have a high morale after coming from 2 goals down and winning 4-2 against us. Siena have been very good lately but i still think Fiorentina should prevale and will have to if they want to stay in contention with Roma. Parma Talents prediction: Fiorentina win

Lecce v Palermo

Lecce are going to have to put together a big run if they want to stay up. It will prove very tough for them against Palermo who have the players to win this game. If Lecce lose this game and results go against them it would really be too late this time. Wouldnt it? Parma Talents prediction: Draw


Livorno v Cagliari

Cagliari sit below us in the table and providing they keep losing we wont go down! Livorno have been good this season but have overperformed and this will mean Cagliari are perfectly capeable of winning this game. Livorno have home advantage but it could be a VERY close game. Parma Talents prediction: Draw

Treviso v Reggina

This is a must win game by Treviso if they wont any chance of staying up. Reggina will be highly motivated for the game knowing that a few wins and they are safe. It should be a good game as Treviso have home advantage and almost beat Empoli last week. Parma Talents prediction: Draw

Udinese v Ascoli

A Killer game. Who ever wins this game i think is safe. If Ascoli were to win Udinese would be in HUGE trouble if results went against them. Quite hounestly i think Udinese have the players and home advantage to win this game, but Ascoli dont seem to read the script very often and will be going all out to win this game. Parma Talents prediction: Udinese Win
