Survival Sunday
1 hour 15 minutes to kick off. Newcastle Utd, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Hull City all deep in it.
Ok, footy WoSsers it's prediction time, who's gonna survive and who's gonna drop.
I reckon Newcastle Utd and Middlesbrough are going to be relegated.

Holy moley! I hope the toon can fend off the Shippies, Smoggies, and Maccums :D
With the scores as they currently are:
Aston Villa 1 - 0 Newcastle
Hull 0 - 1 Man Utd
Sunderland 1 - 1 Chelsea
West Ham 2 - 1 Middlesbrough
It looks like Newcastle and Middlesbrough are for the drop.
I'm more concerned about how the Spurs are doing, and unfortunately they're not doing too well :(
No European football for Spurs next season either, though a few months ago if you'd offered me an eighth place finish I'd have bitten your arm off!
i wanted boro and newcastle to go down :D and they did
just gotta watch the pigs lose to burnley tommorow to fullfill the weekend :)
Bollocks!
Alan Shearer will still be on Match of the Day next season!
Double Bollocks!
Did you happen to notice the bold above the quote?
I'm a little sad the Toon have gone, but as Boozie said they have been poor for a long time now (since Robson was bewilderingly sacked) and I don't think the fans have helped in the slightest. The second coming of The Messiah was always going to end in tears as he has always walked out at the first sign of trouble and whatever Ashley did wrong (the Wise appointment, etc) he got them out of a lot of financial shit at considerable expense to himself. The fans need to look at themselves a little; their club is nowhere near as big as they would like to believe no matter how much they fill the stadium each week.
The Midlands teams (Wolves, Brum, Villa, Albion) are a blueprint for every team to emulate as they try to re-establish themselves. Relegation, no matter how heartbreaking is seen as an occupational hazard, and a (admittedly big) blip in that course. None of them spend stupid money, have faith long-term in their manager and come back that little bit stronger next time.
The Baggies will probably keep the vast majority of their players and most likely be favourites to go straight back up. Boro have a great youth policy that will see them strong favourites to return within 3 years. Newcastle unfortunately will lose virtually all of their big name players as they will want to play in the Prem. That annoys me, they were at fault, the least they owe their fans is one season to try and fix it. Maybe if Shearer stays he can convince them to try, but I doubt that on both counts.
I was a bit disappointed that Fulham lost as it means we let ourselves down on the final game (not that I ever thought we'd win at Anfield). 8th is good though and gives Harry a good firm foundation to build on next season.
Nice joke, but the BBC are doing Championship coverage next season so it may fall apart under the close scrutiny of reality ;)
Hull didn't really deserve to stay up, but three teams were worse than them.
Maybe this should be the criteria for who automatically goes down, rather than just a bottom three. Have the Premiership season end first, and adjust the other lower leagues accordingly. It'd make the last few teams in the table work a bloody sight harder than some of them have over the last few months. And some of the teams in the Championship, who will miss out on a Prem spot through the play-offs, deserve one a lot more than some of those teams in the Prem who aren't going down.
loving it :)
first both toon and boro go down, then the pigs dont turn up for the play off and get slaughtered by burnley :)
it cant get any better
Sheffield City Council have just issued a flood warning : 40,000 wednesday fans have just peed themselves laughing!
But then again Stoke were supposed to do worse than Derby!!
What I love about English football is its basic solid foundations. You know that the big boys will always be the big boys (now and again they slip up but not often), and us little guys, you know, the other 80 plus teams...we all get our day as every dog does, we get a little bit of cheer to keep us ticking over.
