Hull 1-0 down as well. Hopefully Fulham can get a goal against Newcastle and make it really interesting.

Am i right in thinking if Hull lose today and Newcastle win Hull are essentially down?

No that would draw Sunderland right into it. They would only be two points ahead of Hull and play Portsmouth on Monday.

Hull have equalised as have Villa against Boro'

I'll be really disappointed if Newcastle equalise.

Lecale2 · May 16, 2009, 04:47:31 PM

Very interesting. Bolton game kicked off 10 minutes late.

Boro fucked and Newcastle close to it

Despite what these idiots on BBC are saying Boro aren't out of it yet. Hull will lose to United, even if United only send half a team. That combined with a win by Boro would bring the goal difference pretty level.

Boro' have now replaced West Brom as the shortest odds team to be relegated. They are 1/25 while West Brom are 1/14.

Though I agree with AFS, I don't think its that impossible.

Boro fans deserve all they get, their biggest game of the year and the place was half empty.

Boro effectively gone, they never broke into anything Europe (apart from winning the League cup in 2004) delighted they're fucked and the fact they have shite attendances means they deserve to be in a lower division.

you can get 33/1 on Boro' to stay up with Betfair now.

Worth a couple of pound anyway. Its not beyond the realms of possibility that results will go their way.

Boro to beat a West Ham team with nothing to play for, and who've only one win in their last six games, by a goal or two.
Hull to go down by a couple of goals to a United team made up of hungry youngsters playing for 2 or 3 open spots on the bench for the CL final.
Newcastle to continue their abysmal form and lose at Villa.

Much, much stranger things have happened.

I'd gove almost anything to see WBA stay up. It's doubtful though.
