Pepe the Horseman The final day of the Prem season will be exciting.

Tottenham can still finish second (if Utd lose tonight)
Liverpool can finish third
Chelsea can still make the top four
None of which will happen of course

Of the top 9 only four positions are realistically up for grabs (3/4 and 8/9)

However, I still think Swansea have a shot at survival.
They need a 9 goal swing, but are at home to already doomed Stoke who have proved to be a whole new level of rubbish. A 4 goal win is not out of the question.
Man City clearly have the capability to put 5 past almost anyone (except Huddersfield) and they still seem up for it.

The Reverend Not a single team in the top five tiers has gone straight back down this season.

Newcastle, Brighton, Huddersfield, Sheff Utd, Bolton, Millwall, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Doncaster, Blackpool, Lincoln, Forest Green, Fylde, Ebbsfleet, Maidenhead and Halifax all survived the leagues they were promoted into :shock:


Must be a 1st. I can't remember last time at least 1 promoted team didn't go down from prem.

Not any more. The only things left are Liverpool hoping they avoid defeat at home to Brighton and Swansea hoping to win v Stoke while Southampton lose and also get a 10 goal swing in the process. Might get exciting if Swansea get themselves 5 up and Southampton find themselves 3 down - so long as there's 15 minutes or so to go.

Real shame Plymouth stacked their last two games. A great away day and decent fans to have at the MadStad

2011-12

QPR, Norwich, Swansea. Blackburn, Bolton and wolves went down.

Not entirely sure but I think 2 out of 3 stayed up the following season as well.
