Too late.

This is no longer amusing.

15 Sunderland 35 -12 37
16 Aston Villa 35 -22 37
17 Newcastle 35 -23 37
18 Wigan 34 -23 32
19 QPR 35 -27 25
20 Reading 35 -28 25

It is watching De Canio's face.

Always fun that.

For NUFC:

West Ham - Big Sam usually does well against NUFC
QPR - surely 3 points for NUFC
Arsenal - no contest

That's about right, but West Ham have Andy Carroll so I expect a 0-0 draw.

I don't know much about Wigan this season, other than they've been good enough to get to the FA cup final and bad enough to get themselves relegated.

I suppose, what they have going for them, is a game-in-hand and, if Aston Villa are safe, they'll probably not put a great deal of effort into beating Wigan on the final day.

In saying that, 5 games in 15 days, including an FA cup final, could be quite an emotional rollercoaster for them. It really doesn't look likely that they'll escape relegation but I'll stick with the prediction I made up-thread... just for the fun of it

Looks about right

Two things could happen against West Ham...the Hammers are safe and have nothing to play for and would prefer a club like Wigan to go down rather than Newcastle so wont try too hard Andy Carroll will fluff his lines deliberately against his home town club and Newcastle come away with a win.

Or Newcastle now under a lot of pressure cant pass or keep the ball for toffees, West Ham have nothing to play for with no pressure play relaxed football Andy Carroll decides he needs to be in top form for the upcoming summer transfer window bangs in a couple goals for an easy win.

If Newcastle play like they did at the weekend it might be hard for Carroll not to score! Put Nolan in the mix as well and you could be looking at another six!!

That reminds me, i must take Steven Taylor out of the dream team!!!

I'd certainly fear Nolan over Carroll. The former has made a habit of scoring against us since he was let go. Time will tell.

Thank you for your insight, but I can think of at least three and given the goal difference/goals scored tie breakers, there may in fact be several more.

You'll be a great pundit soon I'm sure, but in the meantime don't quit your day job.

All German Champions League final then.

Looking that way I just hope the local residents don't think ze Germans are invading as the final is at the new Wembley.
