h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's time to post a relegation themed list.

I'm confident enough to do this based upon the Blades wonderful performance against West Ham at the weekend. Though of course between me posting this now, and you lot making your predictions on Friday/Saturday we have to visit Old Trafford, so my mood might change during the course of the week (*).

Here we go...


Charlton v Sheffield United
Fulham v Blackburn
Liverpool v Wigan
Watford v Man City
West Ham v Everton


All predictions to be in by kick off (3pm I think) on Saturday, 21st April.




(*) I'll be happy with a 3-0 defeat. If we score a goal I will be ecstatic.

I say we are staying up.
Say we are staying up.

First Time I've been able to say that with games remaining for three seasons.

Charlton 1 v 1 Sheffield United (D.Bent)
Fulham 1 v 3 Blackburn (B.McCarthi)
Liverpool 3 v 1 Wigan (P.Crouch)
Watford 3 v 2 Man City (G.Samaras)
West Ham 0 v 2 Everton (J.Lescott)

**stops drinking for the first time since Saturday**

I say we are going up.

First time I've been able to say that with games remaining EVER!

>> I'll be happy with a 3-0 defeat. If we score a goal I will be ecstatic.


A two-nil defeat with a clear cut penalty decision not going our way (*) and the team playing well and to the best of their abilities (**). I look upon that as a good day at the office

(*) It's Old Trafford. Referees don't give penalties against ManU there. It's the rules.

(**) Against a team that man for man are better than us in every position on the pitch with the possible exception of goalkeeper.

"Against a team that man for man are better than us in every position on the pitch with the possible exception of goalkeeper."

You should've stopped typing at pitch.

Is this going to be marked? And is there going to be a week 18 this weekend?

Well it won't be marked until it happens, no. I'm not psychic you know

Week 18 could involve the following five relegation and promotion relevant games from Scotland as we ahve not yet had Scotland all season.

Dunfermline v Dundee Utd
Airdrie Utd v Partick
Livingston v Ross County
St Johnstone v Queen of South
Berwick v Arbroath

Argh I thought this was last weeks. Pressure of the election I say although today's opinion poll made happy reading.

Fulham 0 Blackburn 2 Benni McCarthy
