It looks obvious at the moment.
Sunderland are too far adrift to catch up.
Portsmouth are a long way back, and Redknapp's main source of help (the transfer window) is now of no use.
Birmingham look in deep trouble as well. I don't think Bruce's choice of his son over Nicky Butt on Monday night helped things either. They play West Brom shortly, that's going to be a huge game.
