    Oh OK I thought they were streeting home the championship rather easily so that makes sense. I see Milwall are in the final play off spot. Please God, make it happen. That would be so sweet. Milwall of the EPL has a certain ring to it.

      Super agent Jorges Mendes has an unofficial stake in the club as well and he's pumping his clients into the club on the cheap. Theres been a fair few complaints.

      They are going to be a very good side very soon.

        There can't be too many competitive clubs in the EPL for my liking. Another successful club in London will make things interesting too.

                  Should be our starting striker. Morata is such a fairy, needs to toughen up or his stay will be short.

                      Would that be Financial Fair Play?

                      Well done to City on a particularly dominant season. For a while it looked like they might get through without a blemish but not quite. It takes a particular club, with a special group of players who just gel together beautifully to be nonpareils.

                        They struggled a bit once Wigan Athletic exposed them.

                          Split them apart. Crystal Palace should have beaten them when they were playing like a second division team too.

                              Who will avoid the drop?

                              Who do we think/hope will avoid relegation? Below is the ladder with a list of remaining fixtures against the top 7 teams:

                              13 Brighton 33 -15 35 5 games against top 7

                              14 Huddersfield 34 -27 35 city chelsea & arsenal

                              15 West Ham 32 -18 34 City, Arsenal & man u

                              16 Crystal Palace 34 -18 34 zip

                              17 Swansea 33 -19 33 city & chelsea

                              18 Southampton 33 -20 28 city

                              19 Stoke 33 -33 27 burnley & liverpool

                              20 West Brom 34 -25 24 spurs & liverpool


                              A minor miracle would save west brom but maybe the man u result could inspire them.(if they go down and Villa stay in the championship it would mean all 3 birmingham teams out of the top flight. Has that ever occured??

                              Would love to see Brighton and Huddersfield survive as they feature Mooy & Ryan and it's their first season back at the top in 40 years. Palace have a great draw and i like Selhurst park so hoping they remain.

                              Southampton have had a good run so i wouldn't shed any tears if they dropped. Hope Swansea survive if only for the prospect of seeing a Welsh derby if Cardiff get promoted.

                              Hammers seem to be playing with more spirit under Moyes. God, could you imagine the reaction if they dropped? All the seats would be ripped out of the 'new' stadium.

                              And that leaves the Potters. Shame to see one of the oldest teams go down but they're as good as done i think.

                                West Brom are gone. I saw Brighton on Saturday night and they just looked like relegation material, I can't put my finger on it and I know they are 7 points clear but I think they will go down. And I will say Stoke out of spite. Although Hudderfield are vulnerable with only 4 games left and with 3 of those are City, Chelsea and Arsenal they might not get another point, 35 points and a minus 27 goal difference might not be enough.
