If they win today, and Birmingham are beaten at home today by Fulham - that puts West Ham firmly in the box seat to stay up when you look at the final day fixtures :-

Tottenham v Birmingham
Man Utd v Blackpool
West Ham v Sunderland

Hard to see the other two getting anything away from home, even against a depleted United side.

West Ham 50/1 to stop up with Betfred.

Great fightback from Wigan.

So which team will Avram Grant be getting relegated from the premier league with next year?

Kiss of death.

We should Mark, I totally agree with you. There is no question over whether we can perform in the 'big games' having beaten United, Citeh, and doing the double over Chelsea this year. It's the lesser teams we seem to struggle against, however I have every faith in Dalglish to amend that. If we had done this this season we'd currently have an unbeaten home record, like United, (which we do under Kenny btw). Silly defeats against the likes of Blackpool, West Ham and Wolves have stopped us pipping Citeh for that fourth spot.

First home loss for King Kenny. No doubt his master plan to avoid playing in Europe and make sure Liverpool get 4th next season. The evil genius.

Good to see West Ham and their cretinous fans and owners suffer. Tuck in.

Re: Football Chat Thread : Sun May 15, 2011 5:16 pm  

Fancy that. United 19 points ahead of King Kenneth's charges.

Couldn't tell if Baron Greenback was upset or not. He's had the same facial expression since he came over here to take charge of Chelsea.

I'm quietly confident my Latics to stop up bet will come in now, as I can't see Birmingham or Blackpool getting even a point next week whereas a draw is more than achievable at the Britannia.

Fully understandable. Is the Europa Cup really worth the effort if your preference (financial and footballing) is Champions League football?

If Tottingham do end up in the Europa Cup, it will be the detriment of their push for fourth.

Amazing how quick they got rid of Grant, some might say just six months too late.

They should get Di Matteo now, he'll get the back up and he'll play football in the style that West Ham fans want to see.

It was and we played awful. Have a look at VDV's goal on MOTD tonight, terrific volley. We didn't deserve to win but Webb's decision to award a penalty against John Flanagan was truley baffling, nothing more than a shoulder to shoulder.

Bizzare.
