    Who's going on Saturday then? It's my last game of the season (only my 4th overall) and I can't wait! What is everybody's score predictions for the game? I'm going for an ambitious 3-0 win with goals from Nolan, Ameobi and Ranger.

    In the three games I have gone to this season we have won 2 and drawn 1 and not conceded a goal, so I'm a good luck charm :)

    I see a tight match with a Nolan winner.

    Our forward line sucks so I can't see the opposition defence struggling with Ameobi et al but the midfield should be able to force some scoring opportunities.

    1-0 Nolan

    Ameobi doesn't work, he wonders around the pitch like a member of the ground staff inspecting the grass!!!

    2-0 to the toon

    Here's a question for you...

    If only one of these players was allowed to score before the end of the season, who would you chose, Ranger or Kuqi?

    Ranger as he's contracted long term to NUFC.

    Nothing against Kuqi but he's only here to fill gaps.

    Logically my head says Ranger, because he's a part of our future.

    However, for some reason I'd be so much happier if Kuqi grabbed a goal.

    agree with the ranger statement but as pointed out he's contracted long term and has the opportunity to score in the future were as Kuqi once the season is over will never put a toon shirt on again and as he's been excellent around the club (morale etc) i'd love it if he got on the score sheet

    Hopefully you haven't jinxed yourself with the last bit there!
    I like you think we will end up winning 3-0
    I can see the first half hour being very boring though

    No, Chelsea away will be my last match this season. Out of 5 away games so far this season I've seen 2 wins and 3 defeats. So when we beat Chelsea it'll be all square ha!

    I think it's going to be a dull 0-0 match. Whatever happens on Saturday, if Wigan and Wolves fail to pick up a point (which is highly probable) then we'll be 99.999999 % sure of staying up.

    Three PL matches on back-to-back on Sky Sports this Sunday - it's going to be a good day.

    Have to disagree Birmingham are a very poor team and we found that even if the team they are playing are uninspiring Birmingham manage to gift countless chances, we should be able to see them off :)

    I'm torn on that, a Man U win could really deflate Chelsea as they'd be six points a adrift with two games left and very unlikely to win the league. If they beat Man U they'll be right up for when we play them the following week and it could be a cricket score.

    Mind you if we've got Hatem back for a bit of the Chelsea game he'll give us more of a cutting edge. Then again a spork would give us more cutting edge than we have at the moment.

    Assuming I move back to Canada at the end of the summer, this weekend could be my last match for a long time (in Germany for WBA). But this'll make my 13th match of the season, and I hope the lads put on a good performance.

    I'll predict a 2or3 - 1 win, even if Simpson's as likely to score as a striker these days.

    I'm predicting a tight boring game. 1-0 to us Nolan to score.

    And as I just want us to get over the finishing line and confirm our status I'd be very happy with that.

    I'll be going and I fancy a 3-1 win. As regards the first scorer between Ranger and Kuqi, I'd go for Kuqi. He's put himself about a bit when he's been on the pitch and hustles and bustles the defence more than Ranger does. He's a real trier and deserves credit for his efforts.

    I wanted to go but coaching my little brothers cup final on Sunday took priority! 2-0, Ameobi & Lovenkrands.
