We Are Staying Up...

...But who is going down?

5 to go, here are the closing schedules for the bottom dwellers.

Newcastle (30 pt, -16) - v Port, @ Liv, v Boro, v Fulh, @ Villa
Boro (31 pt, -22) - @ Arse, v ManU, @ Newc, v Villa, @ Spam
Blackburn (34 pt, -20) - v Wigan, @ Citeh, v Port, @ chels, v WBA
Hull (34 pt, -20) - v Liv, @ Villa, v Stoke, @ Bolt, v ManU
Sunderland (35 pt, -12) - @ WBA, v Ever, @ Bolt, @ Port, v chels

I'm assuming we can all agree WBA are toast, so I'll leave it to the last 2 relegation spots.

 

yeah... that's a problem. But Hull is going down. And I bet Newc's for the second

 

I voted Boro and I think the other one will be Hull.

 

I like Gareth Southgate, but 'Boro are done. I'll pick Blackburn as well, because I find them insufferable bores.

 

Sorry, didn't realize that until after the fact.

I'm pulling for Hull and Newcastle to go down, but think it'll be Hull and Boro.

 

Boro and Newcastle both have a hard road ahead. I think a tie between them will take them both down.

 

WBA, Toon, and Sunderland -- Boro showed some fight last weekend, or more specifically, Braveheart showed some fight (Tuncay). I'll take a minority opinion and say I think they get out of it. I'll call it now -- 'Boro gets it done at St James on 9 May.

 

It's tough to call. 2 of either Blackburn, Newcastle, or Middlesbrough will go down I think.

 

Even though Blackburn are who I think deserve go down.... they have the easiest road and are currently sitting just out of the zone.

My two would have to be Boro and Hull. Boro are not going to be able to get any points out of that schedule and I am putting Newcastle on 5 points and Hull at just 1 point, giving Newcastle the out with their goal differential. Although, it will be sad to see a team that came up and started their season with the performance Hull had go down so quickly.

Side note: What does everyone think will happen to the injured Bullard if Hull gets swept under the relegation rug?

 

If he's smart he'll stay in Cokes until he proves himself long-term matchfit again.
