Old Trafford or The Liberty Stadium? April 20, 2008

| Thats what international stars such as Ivan Campo, James McFadden and David Healy will be thinking right now. With just 3 games left in the Premiership the relegation battle has really kicked off. Bolton’s win at Middlesborough on Saturday was crucial, as was Fulham’s and Birmingham’s dismal defeats. But who is staying up and will be taking on the likes of Rooney, Ronaldo and Rio at Old Trafford next season? And who will be battling against Welsh side Swansea City in the Championship, on mud-ridden pitches and shed-like stadiums? | |
| Well, Derby are down and out. Have been for weeks. Fulham, 5 points drift, meaning if they realistically want to stay up, they need to beat Man City, Birmingham and Portsmouth. Jimmy Bullard and co are 1/40 to go down, so no value there. The dreaded third relegation place is right up for grabs though. |  |
| It is currently held by Birmingham, who are 1 point behind Reading and Bolton. Sunderland, Middlesborough and Wigan aren’t safe just yet, but are 5 points clear of the relegation zone. Birmingham face two home games against Liverpool and Blackburn, which are not easy to say the least. Inbetween they play at Fulham, could be crucial. Birmingham are 11/8 to go down.Bolton are 13/8 to get relegated. They have two VERY HARD away games at Spurs and Chelsea, sandwiched by a must win match at home to Sunderland.Reading are 2/1 but will fancy their run-in, as they face Wigan, Tottenham and Derby.
Other canidates for the drop are Sunderland 28/1, Wigan/Middlesborough 50/1. My prediction : has to be Birmingham
What do you think? |

I think Bolton could go down. They won’t win any of their remaining games.
Birmingham are doomed. Get on em
I really do think that Birmingham are doomed Stefan. I really do not like the club as well, so lets hope they get relegated!
