15:00 Derby vs Fulham Draw
15:00 Fulham vs Sunderland Loss
15:00 Reading vs Fulham Win

I'd love to see Newcastle go down, and Sunderland stay up...

Actually if it wasn't for the Tyne side mobs Derby would only have 5 points !!

Piss off Fulham too (is Al-Fayed still tied in with them?). If he is then wait for
the conspiracy theories to roll out...

[Royal City]

Actually if it wasn't for the Tyne side mobs Derby would only have 5 points !!

Please don't tell me you are referring to Sunderland as Tyneside???

Would get you a major beating in Sunderland for saying that

[Dogwatcher]

Yes, you really need to know where Sunderland actually is

[Royal City]

Yes, you really need to know where Sunderland actually is

Yes we actually have our own river (the Wear)!!

Calling us Tyneisders is like linking Adelaide with the Yarra

Would get you a major beating in Sunderland for saying that

Nah, wasn't referring Sunderland as being a Tyne side just couldn't be arsed typing in the Wear bit....

Requote "If it wasn't for the Tyne-Wear sides then Derby etc etc "....

hehehe can you tell we are a touchy lot of that issue

Tyne-Wear is a travesty of a county anyway invented by the UK government in the 70's, we are historically County Durham and always will consider ourselves as such. Those upstarts on the Tyne are Northumbrians

[RoosterMarty]

Derby and Fulham are gone for sure.

Bolton will probably follow as they have a terrible run home.

[johntheclaret]

Another good win by Reading this time over City. 2 straight wins has eased the pressure.
Fulham get a good point away to b4st4rds but at this stage a point is not enough.
Toon go down to Pool 3 - 0 and look in real trouble. They have games against Brum and Sunderland to come and these could determine if Toon stay in the EPL or not. Personally, I don't think they have the bottle.

ha ha Newcastle could be ****...The most overrated hyped club in the EPL could be down with my mob next year

[RoosterMarty]

ha ha Newcastle could be ****...The most overrated hyped club in the EPL could be down with my mob next year

Liverpool would be a challenger to most overrated in the EPL....

Newcastle will stay up though.

A good point for Wigan at home the LeArse, but Sunderland drop valuable home points against Everton.
