The 38th and final week of the Premier League season is just about upon us, and with it will come the relegation results. WBA are already down, with 4 other teams (Sunderland, Hull City, Newcastle and Middlesbrough) competing to stay out of the final 2 spots. The way I see it, Boro are already down. They have to win by a large goal difference AND get some help, not going to happen. Sorry, Mr Southgate, and good luck with your yo-yo skills.
Hull City have got no shot against Man U, as even Sir Alex Ferguson's C team is good enough to crush Hull. This simplifies things greatly, for if Hull lose, then Sunderland are safe. So for the final relegation spot, it is between Newcastle and Hull.
If these predictions hold true then it all comes down to Villa vs Newcastle (at Villa Park), from which (again if the predictions hold true) a draw will save the Geordies. Can they do it? Villa have been less then stellar for months, a shadow of the team that once held a 6 point lead for the fourth spot. The Villans have lost or drawn in 10 of their last 11 games, against arguably weaker opposition than what the Geordies will offer up on Sunday. As much as I hate to say it, I have a sneaky feeling that the Barcodes of Newcastle will achieve a 0-0 bore draw, enough to keep the Toon Army in the Premiership.
Well, so long, Phil Brown... and take your spray on tans with you.
