After yesterday's draw at West Brom which resulted in the gaining of a point The Toon with 37 in total have now dropped to sixteenth in the League table.
That point actually means neither Reading nor QPR can overtake us in the league table with four games remaining to play. However as you are all fully aware The Mags are far from safe when it comes to being relegated. No need to go into the why's and wherefores of how they find themselves in this situation as plenty has been posted about that already (with still more to come I expect). What I thought may be worth a look at is the run in for those I believe are still in with a real possibility, along with Newcastle, of actually going down.
Norwich – Stoke (A), Villa (H), West Brom (H), Manchester City (A).
Sunderland – Villa (A), Stoke (H), Southampton (H), Spurs (A).
Stoke – Norwich (H), Sunderland (A), Spurs (H), Southampton (A).
Newcastle United – Liverpool (H), West Ham (A), QPR (A), Arsenal (H).
Villa – Manchester Utd. (A), Sunderland (H), Norwich (A), Chelsea (H), Wigan (A).
Wigan – Spurs (H), West Brom (A), Swansea (H), Arsenal (A), Villa (H).
I have not included Southampton in this list as I believe they will get at least three points out of their last four games to be safe with 42 points if not more. They will however play a major part in determining who goes down as will Spurs, looking at the fixtures.
What I do find interesting is the way at the end of a season the fixtures appear to throw up this dogfight down the bottom, with many of the sides involved facing each other.
Newcastle's fate is still very much in their own hands, however I will be very nervous going into the last game of the season at home to The Gooners knowing we need a win to stay up.
Lights Oot!
