Huddersfield, Southampton and Brighton have nightmare runs. Ours isn’t easy but I’d say Stoke, Everton and Leicester are nice games to have at this stage.
Cuz, May be but I don’t think Southampton are down and out, they will have everything to play for, however it remains to be seen if Hughes can get them winning. I’m not really fussed between Crystal Palace or them to go down, but possibly would be happier to see Hodgson & Palace go down......nowt to do with Palace more Hodgson though ;lol
Palace have a good run of fix. I'll be amazed (and delighted) if they went down. For me, all we have to do is match Huddersfield and we're good. Not losing to Stoke is the most important thing (we can get something against arsenal when they rotate and subsequently defend badly). Keeping Arnie fit is crucial too. Last two games he's scared the hell out of me holding his leg!
Going the other way Wolves are guaranteed a spot in the Premier League next season
Wolves have the wonderfully named Willy Boly at CB. Wasn't that a 1965 hit for Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs?
Cardiff regained second spot today, Fulham and Villa are pretty much nailed on to make the play offs with Boro, Brentford, Bristol City, Preston, Derby and M...scum all with a chance of the other two spots.
Wolves beat B'ham 2-0 so they now need one point from Bolton (20th), Wednesday (16th) or Sunderland (24th) to win the title
Despite giving us the giggle of the season I don't think WBA have much hope of survival with Liverpool (H), Newcastle (A) and Spurs (H) up next. They could still make things difficult for Palace (A) on the last day of the season
They defended in numbers and nicked a goal against an average Man Utd team. They aint staying up. It was hard to distinguish between this Mourinho team and that of van Gaal.
A disappointing, but not disastrous round of games.
I've taken out any teams at 37+, and had hoped we would be one of them.
Stoke now need 8 points just to overtake us as we stand. Southampton fans will look at their fixtures and think 'we could do this'. Brighton have what looks like a nightmare set of fixtures, and it wouldn't be a surprise if they failed to get any more points. Huddersfield are in a similar position, and will presumably be targeting the home game against Everton.
Swansea finish their season with home games against Southampton and Stoke, and may need to win one or both to avoid being sucked in to the bottom 3.
We are still very much in the mix and still need points (at least 2) IMO. And given that all our games are v top 9, it is not the most ideal of positions for us to be in.
The good news is that Arsenal will have 1.9 eyes on the Europa league next week and will undoubtedly play a much weakened team against us. Looking forward to seeing us win at the Emirates

Yes, I'd thought of doing that.
Will do it next time round.

Apart from that - Southampton and Stoke would be nice.

They'd be a good addition to the league and may be able to buy the quality needed for new EPL team

No mate, that was by Spam, Spam and the Faroe Islanders.
The one you're thinking of was Wooly Bully (a song about Sam's cat) ;biggrin ;yercoat

Bet they took more money on a ManU win (or with Man U win in accumulator.)

STH and Swansea have 5 games... STH also the "easiest" games.
WBA / Stoke plus 1 at the moment I would say.
