++SPOILERS++ (Information below includes the results of today's relevant matches, if you don't want to know the scores, look away now...) So as the Premier League 2010/11 season draws to a close, with two rounds of (relevant) fixtures remaining, 7 teams are still mathematically in the relegation mix... Aston Villa, Blackburn, Wolves, Birmingham, Blackpool, Wigan and West Ham. The bottom of the table, for those 7, looks like this after today's matches... Pos......Team..........Played....Goals...Pts ============================== 14th.....Aston Villa.........36......-13.....42 15th.....Blackburn..........37.....-14......40 16th.....Wolves..............37......-19......40 17th.....Birmingham.....36......-18......39 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 18th.....Blackpool..........37......-21.....39 19th.....Wigan................36......-23......36 20th.....West Ham.........36.....-23......33 Remaining relevant fixtures... # Sunday 15th of May # Arsenal v Aston Villa Birmingham v Fulham Wigan v West Ham # Sunday 22nd of May # Aston Villa v Liverpool Man Utd v Blackpool Stoke v Wigan Tottenham v Birmingham West Ham v Sunderland Wolverhampton v Blackburn # Last 5 matches (most recent first) # Aston Villa........DLDWW Blackburn.........DDWLL Wolves..............WWDLD Birmingham....LDLLW Blackpool.........WDDDL Wigan...............DDLWL West Ham........DLLLL (last win was 8 matches back) SAFEST = Aston Villa It would need an extraordinary series of results for Villa to drop into the bottom three. They would have to lose their last 2 matches, Wolves v Blackburn would have end in a win for either of them (i.e. not be a draw), Birmingham would have to win at least one of their last 2 matches, with a large goal difference swing, or take at least 4 points from the 6 (for goal difference not to matter), Blackpool win their last match with a significant goal difference swing, and Wigan win last 2 matches, again with a significant goal difference swing. MOST DANGER = West Ham They need to win their last 2 matches and see either Blackpool lose their last match or Birmingham lose both their last 2 matches, along with a distinct goal difference swing in their favour. SO... What are your thoughts? (1) Who do you think will go down? (2) Who would you most like to see go down or, if you're of a nicer disposition, just who would you most like to see stay up? (3) Score predictions (for the above fixtures)?++SPOILERS++

SO...

1. West Ham, Wigan, Birmingham 2. Want to see Wolves and Blackpool stay up. Im sure most people want to see Holloway and his boys stay up. Rarely do you see a promoted team make such an impact, they have been truly commendable in their approach to the premier league, and a hilarious manager to boot. As for Wolves, I just like honest Mick. Has always been a yo-yo manager between the PL and the championship, but i think he's about to mature into a more consistently good manager, and Wolves have toppled all of the big teams at least once this season which deserves credit. 3 (not related to my relegation predictions) .# Sunday 15th of May # Arsenal v Aston Villa : 1-1 Birmingham v Fulham: 1-2 Wigan v West Ham : 0-0 # Sunday 22nd of May # Aston Villa v Liverpool: 0-4 Man Utd v Blackpool: 2-3 Stoke v Wigan: 1-1 Tottenham v Birmingham: 1-0 West Ham v Sunderland: 1-3 Wolverhampton v Blackburn: 2-0 How much is it out of your wallet if i get these all correct KJ?1.

Nicely wrapped it up KJ! I also hope that Wolves and Blackpool will make it, both are very good teams. I'd go for West Ham, Wigan and Birmingham being relegated. Besides all these I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game between Liverpool and Spurs as well, will be a great match for sure in the race for 5th.Nicely wrapped it up KJ!

Shame about West Ham, almost certain for the drop. Good club with a lot of history. Pretty impartial between wolves and birmingham, have a few friends that are wolves fans so i guess i could mock for a few weeks if they got relegated. Mcarthy does liven up match of the day though Does it make me a bad person wanting blackpool to go down :/ everyone seems to want them to stay up lol. Frankly any club that cant get over twenty thousand fans for a home game, should they be in the PL? Tinpot club in my eyes, same goes for wigan as well. Id be happy for Holloway if they stay up though, hes done a good job their.Shame about West Ham, almost certain for the drop. Good club with a lot of history.

There was that glimmer of hope at half time with the other scores etc, only to flop themselves... Will be tough to shoot back up, especially with the inevitable player departures. argh.

Sorry to see West Ham go. Not even faintly sorry to see Grant go, hopefully the last we see of him in the Premiership (either as manager or director of football). However many seasons he's been there in total is exactly equal to how many he shouldn't have been. It's tough, but 1 win in the first 14, they've been in trouble all season, stuck with Avram "he's such a nice and dignified man though" Grant, bottom at Christmas, then right when it really counts at the end of the season, they put on a run of drawn 1 and lost 6 to mathematically confirm relegation. Sam Allardyce in? Maybe not in the Championship. Similar reason probably not McLaren. Alan Curbishley...? ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ~~ Predictions for the 15th of May ~~ What experts we all are! :-D Three matches, even just results (W/D/L), no-one got more than 1 out of 3!

Only trouble with that tonner is that he's a complete twat. He did nothing at Boro that any other jobing manager with loaded chairman could have done. He had a shocker with England, hanging on to Svenis tactics and squad selections. He did alright in Holland, and then got sacked in Gemany. I'd rather have the Rodent back tbh. They have to pull out the stops for O'Neill.Only trouble with that tonner is that he's a complete twat.

With minimal offence to die-hard Hammers, I'd be disappointed in Martin O'Neill, he'd be selling himself woefully short. I think McLaren might think himself the same. I'm no fan of his but it is selling him a bit short to say he did "alright" in Holland. Winning the title there while not in charge of Ajax, PSV or Feyenoord was a pretty impressive achievement I'd say. Chris Hughton seems a pretty fair call. I suppose similarly Roberto Di Matteo might be, another guy who proven success in the Championship, I think generally thought to be a bit unlucky to lose his job, West Ham being a London club would probably suit... I honestly don't think Curbishley would be a bad outside-bet, or indeed a bad appointment. I don't think there's too much residual bad feeling towards him, over the payout or something, is there...?With minimal offence to die-hard Hammers, I'd be disappointed in Martin O'Neill, he'd be selling himself woefully short.

Man Utd 2 - 2 Blackpool Tottenham 3 - 1 Birmingham Wolverhampton 1 - 1 Blackburn So look, I predicted Blackpool not to win at Man Utd! Correct! I predicted Tottenham to win and the 3 meant like the 3rd minute of injury time for the winner! Astonishing! And finally, I predicted Wolves not to win at home to Blackburn! Wow! Amazing stuff.

Man Utd 2 - 2 Blackpool
Tottenham 3 - 1 Birmingham
Wolverhampton 1 - 1 Blackburn

So look, I predicted Blackpool not to win at Man Utd! Correct!
I predicted Tottenham to win and the 3 meant like the 3rd minute of injury time for the winner! Astonishing!
And finally, I predicted Wolves not to win at home to Blackburn! Wow!

Amazing stuff.

Not all that sorry to see Birmingham go, but shame about Blackpool.

I also predicted Birmingham and Blackpool to go down. Although i didn't see Blackburn getting a result but fair play. Wigan played a tired Stoke side, i didn't think Birmingham would get anything this weekend and they didn't. Epic last day of the season enjoyed watching it unfold. Hopefully same again next season :)I also predicted Birmingham and Blackpool to go down. Although i didn't see Blackburn getting a result but fair play.

@atlanta... this Swansea side will be the first Welsh team ever to play in the top English league. I suppose it's a little bit of history but it doesn't feel all that significant, considering they, Cardiff and Wrexham have been playing in the English league and cup competitions for so long. And there have been many, many Welsh players and managers in the top division before (and currently).@atlanta... this Swansea side will be the first Welsh team ever to play in the top English league.
