So who is going down?

[Tosh]

Two from four - Portsmouth look to be safe. Sunderland could put themselves safe tonight, leaving two from three

 

 

16 Sunderland 36 26 -17 36

17 Hull 37 28 -24 35

18 Newcastle 37 29 -18 34

19 Middlesbrough 37 35 -28 32

20 West Brom 37 34 -31 31

 

Sunday...

 

Villa v Newcastle

West Ham v Boro

Hull v ManU

 

Conceivably, they could all lose and stay in their current positions. Boro need a big goal difference swing and an away win (of which they and Newcastle both have 2 all season) to stay up. So you'd think Boro are most at risk as their fate is not entirely in their own hands

 

I guess the question is.... will Ferguson "do a Rafa" (Warnock stylee) and put the kids out v Hull - and even then they will likely win.

 

I have a feeling that the Villa game is the key one. Villa are playing s***, Newcastle s***ter. Could be a cracking game....

[Swipe]

Think it'll be Newcastle and Boro.

 

Can't see either of them getting anything in their final games.

[MarkD]

Agree with Swipe -think all three of them will lose at the weekend and thus stay in the same positions.

[carrafan]

Think Newcastle will get a point at Villa and stay up.

[Chili Palmer]

I think Hull will beat Man Utds under 14s, therefore stay in the same position.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Boro are doomed. Think Hull will go too. Newcastle will spawn a point & then start telling us that they'll be taking our EC qualifying spot next season.

 

Like you can finish higher than 1st

[Bailo]

Hope Hull stay up for a number of reasons; lots of Hull mates, Newcastle and their big club obsession annoy me, prefer to see a few promoted sides stay up, Hull deserve it for having some balls earlier in the season (though mysteriously losing them later on!).

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Hull 13/8

Newcastle 1/2

[ManxRed]

[obvoussarcasm] Hey, it'd be a really big shame to see Owen plying his trade in the Championship, eh? [/obvioussarcasm]

[MFletcher]

THink Boro will lose and Newcastle will draw.

 

Depends on what team United put out really, but could see Hull getting a point and staying up.

couldn't happen though.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

I guess the question is.... will Ferguson "do a Rafa" (Warnock stylee) and put the kids out v Hull - and even then they will likely win.

 

His team will be

 

Foster

 

Da Silva

Evans

???

Da Silva

 

Fletcher

Gibson

Anderson

Park

 

Macheda

Welbeck

[ManxRed]

couldn't happen though.

 

It'd be amusing if the only teams that came in for him were Bolton or Blackburn or similar.

[fyds]

Given the goal difference, Boro are already dead meat. Newcastle or Hull...Hul Vs Man United Creche 2nd 11 or Newcastle v The Brian Rix Aston Villa 'whoops my trousers vicar' all stars...too close to call.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

It'd be amusing if the only teams that came in for him were Bolton or Blackburn or similar.

wouldn't surprise me in the slightest

[fyds]

wouldn't surprise me in the slightest

nah - there'll be at least one big club in for him...Everton perhaps

[ManxRed]

Tragically, I suspect Man City is where he'll end up.

[fyds]

Mark Hughes begins City's summer transfer dealings.

Before I replied to this thread, on the forum, the list of topics appeared as follows:

 

"So who is going down?"

 

"Didier Drogba"

[Cam]

It's down to Hull or Newcastle and every inch of me crawls with the thought that the Geordies will stay up - they'll be lauding Shearer as the true Messiah and by July normal business will resume with "this is our year, pet".

 

Sadly, the Mancs will hammer Hull, reserves or not, and Villa will capitulate to The Football Genius.

[Rimbeux]

Sunderland now find themselves having to beat Chelsea

[fyds]

Provided Newcastle win at Villa and Hull get something against United - so in other words, they should be safe.

 

It's between Hull and Newcastle I reckon.

[smithdown]

F*ckinell, just had a quick look at the table - Stoke could finish above Man City. Think back to last summer, you'd have got great odds for that.

That's my tip, from the same source that brought you the nailed on chester le street draw

[Gravy]

I dreamt last night that Sunderland went down - Geordies to win, Hull to draw and Sunderland to lose - by reckoning though for that to happen they would have to lose about 5-0??
