Lol you can't vote for three teams, you can only vote, and then retract it if you want, then vote again.
Anyway, West Brom are doomed. I'd say Middlesbrough are going as well. The last one is tough because Hull are slipping badly, and Newcastle are just playing shit. However, I think Newcastle and Blackburn have the quality to stay, so I'm voting Hull.

Newcastle are a pile of crap. They haven't played well all season. Alan shearer might be able to keep them up, but they still have more of a chance of going down than Hull do. West Brom are for sure though. Probably Boro as well.

Yeh, Newcastle HAVE to beat Portsmouth tonight. Looking at their remainin fixtures, they play Portsmouth, Boro and Fulham at home. They have to win all of them and they probably should. I hope to god Shearer sees sense and finally drops Michael Owen. Newcastle looked a different team when Viduka and Martins came on at Spurs. If Viduka and Smith can get their old partnership going, they will cause problems for any defence. They travel to Liverpool too, which must be a banker home win and Aston Villa who still haven't won in ages, so they could also pick up a point their too. If they win tonight, they will survive.
Hull go to Villa next Monday. Has to be a home win really. Hull just look totally incapable. But look at the match on the 9th May. Hull vs Stoke. How huge is that? They have to win that to have any chance.
But I think the team who might not pick up any more points this season is Sunderland. They were dismantled at WBA on Saturday and they host Everton next Saturday and Everton are seriously tough to break down. They also have to go to Bolton and Portsmouth and I don't think they can win those games, I really don't. Last game they host Chelsea, which is an away banker for me.
So, going down...WBA, Boro and Sunderland.

Yeah you can, I'm an idiot lol.
Sunderland won't get relegated. I think they have shown a good attacking drive throughout the season, and I don't think Everton really give a shit anymore. They are going to finish sixth, so they are going to concentrate on making sure they don't have anymore injuries for the FA Cup final. So I can definately see Sunderland taking a point, or maybe scraping a win if they can get wide frequently and stretch Everton's defence.
So I ended up going West Brom, Middlesbrough and Hull.

Everton lost Phil Jagielka to injury on Saturday too. He ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament or as my older brother beautifully put it... "he hurt his leg".

Lol.
Yeah I was referring to that. They can't afford another injury otherwise Chelsea will run over them.

It will be such a boring cup final, much like last years. Everton will shut up shop, Chelsea will struggle to break them down. If there's more than one goal, I will be very surprised.

Everton have been really unfortunate with injuries this season. They have done really well for the amount of injuries they have.

I'll be putting a bet on. It's the only event I bet on every year. I have lost the last two years. I bet 2-1 to Man U, and then 2-1 to Cardiff. I don't know what I'll do this year. I might go 2-1 to Everton because that will pay well. There is no point in going 1-0 to Chelsea or another safer bet, because the odds will be so short.

Everton will be playing their hearts out, it's the only trophy they have a chance of winning, possibly for a while. I'm hoping Chelsea beat Barca, then they will be mroe focused on the Champions League.

0-0 between Portsmouth and Newcastle. At least Newcastle didn't conceed in this match, but you really need to score at home games.

They were poor, really poor. Michael Owen missed a sitter and after that Portsmouth really dominated. I'm struggling to see where the wins are going to come from. They won't even score against Boro playing like that.

Things are lookinh grim. Not even big Dukesy could get a goal for them, and he is the best striker in the world.
