It's not the most exciting end of a season is it?
The only top position left is the last European spot, and Spurs will need to win at Anfield to even have a chance of getting it, meanwhile relegation is basically down to Hull and Newcastle
Personally I (cautiously) think Newcastle are down (big love to Roy Hodgson for helping my bet along by the way) - but of course should Newcastle hammer out a point at Villa, Hull will need a point off one of the most unpredictable games of the season - the unpredictable part being United's team-sheet of course
So I guess the debate is whether Fletcher and his rag-tag bunch of teenagers such as Wellbeck and Macheda will defeat Hull
And as for this debate over the fairness of Hull facing a weakened side - I say bullsh*t (as I do every year) - United will play to win, and Fergie has the right to field whatever team he wishes, Newcastle should've got more points
And besides - if it wasn't for a certain second string player securing 4 points for United they wouldn't be at the top of the table would they?
Personally I think it will be good to lose both Boro and Newcastle, Boro have been a poor team going nowhere for too long, and Newcastle need some time in the naughty corner, as I heard one commentator describe it - let some fresh faces ply their trade in the premier league and hopefully a big club like Newcastle will sort themselves out and return a better side in a year or two
Any thoughts?

Half-time - Still can't see who is going down!
well I tried my best
I predicted them to go down, I even put a bet on it - and they still went down
I guess it was meant to be
My, my! What a good week I've had, and the black and white cherry-on-top of my Newcastle going down cake could only be topped if Geordie Cheryl Cole herself offered some down going.
Middlesboro should never have stayed up. Anyone with Aliadiere as a 'main striker' was always going to end up a laughing stock, the world's most over-rated player, Downing, didn't exactly stand out all season and not replacing Schwarzer was their main flaw.
Newcastle however? Martins, for all his ridiculous talent and potential, has been anonymous. Owen, for once, couldn't handle the weight of pressure and expectation and I hope he now ends up somewhere like Villa. The only player who I feel sad for, and hope gets a good transfer, is Steven Taylor. He's one of the very few shining lights from that team and worked every bit of his ass off, but apart from that...BYE BYE!!!
Also couldn't have put up with the typical English football thing of the whole of England turning Shearer into the next Messiah if they'd stayed up...HE WON ONLY ONE GAME AS MANAGER, by anyone's reckoning, a piss-poor return for Ashley's money.
At least us Baggies now have someone we can call 'real competition' for next season... Newcastle? No, don't be silly! Darren Ferguson's Peterborough.
Also, did you know that the odds on Newcastle, Middlesboro, Sunderland and Hull ALL LOSING ON THE LAST DAY were.........
25/1!!! Why did I not put a ruddy big bet on?
