D-day for Bolton/Fulham methinks.

fulham are done, they're not making up 7 points in the remaining games, also for reading this one game might make them safe

bolton could keep it interesting for a while

fulham have a chance if they win at Reading. next game is home vs Liverpool - who may well be in a position to rest players for the cl (I think they did exactly the same vs Fulham last year, and Fulham won to pull away from a relegation battle). they also have Brum to visit.

I may be alone in this but I'm sure one of fulham/bolton will survive (and one of birmingham/birmingham will be relegated)

Everton are unlikely to drop points at birmingham so it's vital we win against Blackburn. There will be changes from midweek so I just hope Rafa doesn't understimate Blackburn who on their day can go to any ground and get 3 points.

Bolton to win and Fulham to lose for me, Fulham are going down without any doubt.

United to win fairly comfortably against Arsenal.

Arsenal, without their best player this season, just out of the CL to late goals, going to a stadium where they recently lost 4-0?


If they win this game I'll eat my C0ck.

how?Will you cut it off and cook it or will you try and gnaw it off and swallow it raw?

It could well be the final piece in your signature.

I'm thinking 2-0 home win. Early Ronaldo goal, then nothing happens for an hour, before they wrap it up with a Park header. I'm not envisionaging a thriller.

Totally disagree about Everton. They haven't scored more than 1 goal in a game in the league since March 2nd, and in that time they've played Sunderland, Derby, Fulham and West Ham as well as Liverpool. A draws the most likely result.

They are on there last legs, in all honesty Portsmouth are far more chance of catching them, considering they have both Chelsea and Arsenal still to play than they do of catching Liverpool.

Our game should be good..neither team with anything to play for.

Hope you're right, nothing would please me more than seeing Everton completely collapse out of even a Uefa spot but I think Everton have that bit more quality than Portsmouth, particularly away from home where the strength of Yakubu is far better than the leightweight Defoe IMO. Just think Birmingham are too inconsistent and Everton will get their race for 4th back on track tomorrow.

hell, we could still catch them if you compare our run-ins. although we'd have to win at theirs to do so.

The only team Bolton can probably catch up is Brum, who've been quite decent lately.

The three that are at the bottom at present i'm 95% sure will go down.

There wont be a 'great escape' from Fulham because they are just too $h!t, all round, I don't fear a single one of their players, they belong in the championship

Not sure, what would a man of your experience advise?

Villa @ Derby

---------------Carson
Mellberg-Knight-Laursen-Bouma
------Petrov-ReoCoker-Barry----
----------------Young--------------
--------Agbonlahor-Carew--------

Subs: Taylor, Salifou, Harewood, Berger, Routledge

Unchanged. I should be really confident, but we always used to lose at Derby, so I have them in my head as a bogey team. Should be on a high after thrashing Bolton though...get an early goal and it should be comfortable, otherwise I could see it turning a bit scrappy and nervy.

Pics otherwise your speaking bollocks

Fulham lead, how surprising, almost certain they are taking a point of Liverpool next week.

2-0 to the villa as well.

Roy Caroll's second direct assist of the day.

we want 10!

You might want to score a decent goal first

Petrov's was a 45 yard lob. what more do you want

debaser wrote:Petrov's was a 45 yard lob. what more do you want

3 goals, no fantasy assists, mightily impressive

1539: Apparenrtly, they're renaming Derby's ground 'Park'. Roy Carroll's weak punch goes straight to John Carew but the Derby keeper does redeem himself a tiny bit by pulling off a magnificent save. The Derby fans are leaving their seats already.

1-0 Bolton.

West Ham are $h!t, i said before the season they wouldnt finish top 10 and its looking like they wont.

They are massively unlucky with injuries but even with everyone fit I would predict maybe a midtable finish for them

Every season we always hear its the "injuries".
