If Bolton can take advantage of their games in hand, they'll stay up.
But if QPR continue winning their home games, they'll stay up.
In other words, can't call it between those two.

Blackburn I think will go: they seem to have forgotten how to defend - again!!!

Looking at those three teams' remaining fixtures list it's still pretty hard to call, imho. Having said that, even though QPR are currently best placed in the table I feel they'll end up being relegated. I just can't decide who from Bolton and Blackburn will also go down though. They both have some tough fixtures...

I hope the northern teams stay up, and the southern teams go down. Just for geographical convenience, no other reason.

It was good to see Chelsea sell out their semi final tickets. Oh, hang on..... maybe it was too far for them to travel.

They were sold out. The empty seats were ones that touts didn't manage to sell on.

As many empty seats there were in the Chelsea end it wasn't nearly as many as there were in the Spurs end 15 minutes before the end of the match!

Zing! Poor Harry - ah well, at least he'll be used to losing at Wembley for when he becomes England manager.

The way things have been going for Spurs, how long until their fans start chanting "Harry for England"? :mrgreen:

Is Harry even the right man for England any more? They say take the players in form, could that apply to the manager also? :|

He's a man of the moment. Apart from the FA Cup , I'm pretty sure he's never won anything. None of the other big teams seem to want him as manger, I wonder why that is?

Don't get me wrong, he may turn out to be a great England manager, but I think people have bigger expectations than maybe they should.

And if he thought he was under pressure/scrutiny when he had his recent trial, how will he cope with being England boss?

... and a cracking result for Southampton which all but guarantees them automatic promotion to the EPL and resigns the Spammers to the play offs!

"Di Matteo interviewed for Chelsea job after leading Blues to FA Cup final"

"A Chelsea source said: ‘Michael Emenalo held an informal interview with Roberto about the permanent job. He is not the only person spoken to, but Emenalo has made it clear that Roberto is to be considered.’"

(Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... ds-newsxml )

The full extent of Michael Emanalo's coaching/managerial experience prior to joining Chelski?
He coached the under-12s girls' team at the Tucson Soccer Academy in Arizona for little more than a year.

Oh dear! :lol:

Respect to the Chelski fans for chanting, "Same old Barca, always cheating". :D

^ Hopefully the irony was not lost on them, what with Drogba's antics.

And Messi with a paltry 1.19 goals per game this season - crap, isn't he?
