It's getting interesting down there now. 18th place is up for grabs and there are five contenders. I just have a feeling that it might be between Tyneside and Wearside. The former must be the best case ever for shooting oneself in the foot.

That could be CT. Sunderland have a game in hand but they still have to play Everton, Arsenal, and Chelsea away and Leicester at home. It's going to be very tight, that's for sure.
I agree on both those points. Sunderland fixtures look hard don't they? Thinking maybe 38/9 for survival.
Sunderland, Newcastle and to a lesser extent Villa all look like clubs that need a spell in the championship to rejuvenate themselves.
Burnley and QPR look dead and buried, and I'd want the last team to be whichever favours us most. If we're in the championship, then Sunderland or Newcastle to come down as I doubt they'd mount a proper challenge next season, their squads would undergo huge upheaval. Leicester meanwhile could challenge right away.
If we go up, then perhaps Newcastle to go down over Sunderland, as even playing at 50% of what their squad is capable of would serve them well enough to survive. Sunderland will require more work over the summer for them to stay clear of the relegation battle.

Burnley have indeed been relegated and I don't really see QPR avoiding the drop.
Looks like the 3rd relegation place will be decided on May 24th and Leicester have to play both Sunderland and QPR!!!.

Yep, today could well be the day we wave a tearful cheerio to QPRcelona's brief stay in the top flight - again 
Shame to see such a wealth of WCT ply it's trade in a lower league.....
As others have said, happy for Leicester to survive - if only to shut that complete prat Lawrenson up, as he will knowingly have predicted the three promoted teams wouldn't survive. Twat!

Yes, back where they belong all being well.
I hope Leicester survive and I think they will be more formidable opposition next season.
Shame their manager is not a bit more 'likable' - cracking recent run of results, though, despite him being a self-opinionated media bully
I'm going to Uni in Hull in September so I'm hoping they stay up, especially if Norwich get promoted. Though if they come down the tickets might be cheaper.
I think he played the first game of the season, away at QPR, and didn't manage to get through the first half
Yep, the grass may always be greener.....but sometimes, only in the short term
