SAFC have never won the last PL game of the season. There must be a first time. A win would take us to 47 points, potentially 9th at best. A draw would put us 13th only if Villa lose at home to Liverpool (edit: if Villa lose by 3 goals or more) Lose and we will be firmly rooted in the bottom 6 at 14th. H = home wins. A = away wins. Stoke v Wigan : all depends on the appetite of Stoke and the ability of Wigan to fight to the death. Stoke H 10, Wigan A 3. Likely draw, so Stoke on 47 with GD -1 Bolton v ManC : Citeh need the win to ensure 3rd spot and automatic qualification for the CL to prevent Ars overtaking them. Bolton's form has dropped with losing their last 4 games. Bolton H 10, ManC A 7 Likely ManC win, so Bolton on 46 NUFC v WBA : The Mags have the 3rd highest home scoring record after ManU and Chelsea. Both have achieved safety. You have to fancy NUFC to wrap up the season with a home win NUFC H 6, WBA A 4 Likely home win, so NUFC on 48 Villa v LFC : Liverpool have a slim chance of 5th if Spurs slip up against B'ham. That would be a mighty achievement for Dalglish so all to play for. Villa H 7, LFC A 5 Likely draw, so Villa on 46 If we win in Lunnun, it might look like this: .9th : 48 (-1) NUFC 10th : 47 (-1) Stoke 11th : 47 (-14) Sunderland 12th : 46 (-2) Bolton 13th : 46 (-12) Villa 14th : 46 (-15) WBA
guess i reckon we will be 13th then, as i see draw written all over this..... 1984 last time we won in the top flight on the final day...
Maybe a slim chance, Commachio. Just saw this link on the SMB WHU to field a championship team on Sunday
seen it, and it leaves bruce a question on what team does he put out, seems like as good of a time as any to give some of our kids a run out. but then there is the case of final position and extra money, so who knows what he will do. even a rumour that gyan may play a part, and ferdinand may also be available, decision time for bruce. hope he doesn't play gyan though. either way, i'm sticking with the draw, upton park is not a good place for us.
Hope ferdinand does not play in this particular fixture. He has been absolutely ****e, almost nozesque like in critical errors, every time he has played against his former club.
