They're on 26 points at the moment. They've got three home games left, against (I think) Wolves, Burnley and Newcastle. They have to win those three games, and get possibly 4 points from their trips to Villa, Arsenal, Chelsea, Southampton and utd. I wouldn't be putting big money on them staying up now. They really needed to win tonight.As bad as Newcastle are that's probably the end for Fulham.

Think Norwich will stay up this time, they look a great deal more balanced when I've seen them. There's always been yo-yo clubs though, WBA have been doing it for a decade and more, Burnley were at it until recently.They're just not quite good enough, are they? I thought they were, but they're not. I have a bit of a soft spot for them, don't know why. I think Newcastle will now cling on by their fingertips to their PL status (without actually bringing anything interesting to the PL). But you never know. We, of all people, should be aware of astonishing turnarounds (mainly to our disadvantage) on final days.
Meanwhile, Norwich and Watford to come straight back up? And then go straight back down again? There's a group of clubs that are just too good for the Championship, but not good enough for the Premier League.
Allardici...As long as Fat Sam is never ever allowed to contaminate the sport again I shall be happy.
