13 Southampton 35 9 12 14 47 57 -10 39
14 Norwich City 35 8 14 13 33 54 -21 38
15 Sunderland 35 9 10 16 39 51 -12 37
16 Aston Villa 35 9 10 16 42 64 -22 37
17 Newcastle United 35 10 7 18 43 66 -23 37
18 Wigan Athletic 34 8 8 18 39 62 -23 32
19 QPR 35 4 13 18 29 56 -27 25
20 Reading 35 5 10 20 37 65 -28 25


A big weekend of results;

A Villa 6 - 1 Sunderland
Reading 0 - 0 QPR *Reading and QPR are relegated after timidly surrendering
Chelsea 2 - 0 Swansea
Arsenal 1 - 1 Man Utd
Man City 2 - 1 West Ham
Everton 1 - 0 Fulham
Southampton 0 - 3 West Brom
Stoke City 1 - 0 Norwich
Wigan 2 - 2 Tottenham
Newcastle 0 - 6 Liverpool

It seems to me that Wigan have a bit of fight in them, they were unlucky against spurs after a really good effort at the win. Stoke have got out of it with a few dour grinding results so it looks to me like suddenly its all to play for even as far up the table as southampton.

The amount of teams who've taken the foot off the gas after getting a couple of points out of the muck is unreal. Southampton are guilty of it. swansea have not played at all since feburary.Sunderland ust have thought they were safe somehow and newcastle too looked safe a short while ago.

This next week is going to be so vital to everyone.

Fixtures:

Fulham vs Reading
Norwich vs A Villa
Swansea vs Man City
Tottenham vs Southampton
West Brom vs Wigan
West Ham vs Newcastle
QPR vs Arsenal
Liverpool vs Everton
Man Utd vs Chelsea
Sunderland vs Stoke City
Man City vs West Brom
Wigan vs Swansea
Chelsea vs Tottenham

This is the week for someone to get right out of this I think.

Wigan have to be getting two wins before the FA cup final. Westbrom have been inconsistent and frankly swansea are done. I can see 6 points for wigan here but i think 3 minimum.

Norwich and villa is a hard one to call. its a vital game for both so anything could happen. I kind of fancy villa for this one as the norwich defense is woeful. Villa could be out of danger before wigan play swansea!

I can see sunderland win v stoke and that leaves newcastle with very sweeky bums. in one weekend they threw away a big GD advantage and suddenly look in trouble. I must say when they won a couple weeks back to go to 37 points they looked safe but I cannot see them getting a result off sam allardyce and andy carroll, especially not on the road.

i'm going to be glued to this one cos i think this Saturday could see real drama.

I actually think Newcastle might join QPR and Reading down in the Championship next season, they have hit a really really bad patch of form recently and I think Wigan might have enough time to catch them up.

Can't see them getting anything more than a point at Upton Park and I see Wigan getting all three against Swansea who are already on the beaches.

Which means I get a trip to St James' Park next year
