The Prem's tight, tighter than I can recall it ever being before, and at both ends too.

Who will pip the title, and who will sink to the murky depths..?

Team----P--GD-PTS
Man Utd-36-53-81
Chelsea--36-37-81

Man Utd v West Ham
Newcastle v Chelsea
Chelsea v Bolton
Wigan v Man Utd

I can see Chelsea bagging the full 6 points, and I can also see Man Utd being careless against either Wham (not a team you want to play at the end of the season!) or even Wigan away, who will be probably playing for survival.

As much as it pains me, I have a horrible feeling Chelsea will nick it. That GD may prove crucial though.

And at the other end...

Team.....P...GD.PTS
Wigan....36.-17..37
Boro......36.-19..33
Bolton....36.-20..33
Reading..36.-28..33
Brum.....36.-17..32
Fulham...36.-25..30
Derby.....35.-59..11

Crucial fixtures:
Villa v Wigan
Bolton v Sunderland
Fulham v Birmingham
Middlesbrough v Portsmouth
Reading v Spurs
Birmingham v Blackburn
Chelsea v Bolton
Derby v Reading
Middlesbrough v Man City
Portsmouth v Fulham
Sunderland v Arsenal
Wigan v Man Utd

I have it down as Bolton, Birmingham and Derby to go down. Fulham escaping by one goal's GD! Also, Villa to pip the Toffee's to 5th place!

Anyone bored enough to have a go?!

Same outcome as you mate except i have United to win it. I think Fulham have got an easy run in. The game against Brum is obviously massive but they've got Pompey on the last day who will play a weakened team before the cup final. So I think they'll sneak out with Birmingham and Bolton suffering.

Everton should get 5th but Villa could do it if they beat West Ham on the last day.

I'm gonna say Utd will win the title, on goal difference.

To go down, Derby, Fulham and Brum. One of Fulham or Brum have to go down because they are playing each other. I think Fulham will win that game, but I see Bolton beating Sunderland at home, Reading beating at least Derby (and most likely us too) and Boro should get enough from two home games (even if that is only not to lose by enough to send them down instead of Fulham on GD).

Utd to win.

I think Fulham might just do it, and we might see Brum and Reading going down.

I fear chelsea will knick it.

Down the bottom I sense a great escape by Fulham with Reading and Birmingham joining Derby.

I desperately want Reading to stay up for the sake of my cousin, who, at the age of 16, was on the bench for their reserves against Pompey last week. I'll be pleased whatever happens this weekend in the match between us and reading. Obviously, I'd love for us to break our duck, but I'd also like Reading to stay afloat. They've got Derby last day of the season anyway, so I think they'll do it.

It'll be Birmingham and Fulham going down for me.
