The Premier League Relagation Battle: Last Day, What happened!
A very quick blog:
I was amazed when I got back today to find that all of the teams in danger of relegation lost! What happened? Who would have predicted that!!??
Today when watching Setanta the reporter said that Gareth Southgate had asked him to keep him informed of what else was happening in the other relegation games during their game at West Ham. If this is to believed and if the other managers also did this is it any wonder that they all lost.
Particularly Middlesborough had to win so there was almost no point knowing what else was happening. Perhaps if they had concentrated just on their game they may have had a better chance. A classic example of where a knowledge of sport psychology would have been beneficial.
I fully appreciate that pressure and stress makes people act in strange ways but it is ashame that nobody was there trying to give across this very simple message, focus on what you can control.
