Palace Theatre

Congratulations to Crystal Palace for winning the play off final today.
Great to have Ian Holloway back in the Premier league, and possibly a last fling for Kevin Phillips who will hopefully carry on for another season.
History suggests it could be a one season wonder for Palace, but you never know?

Really struggling finding a picture of Lampard and Di Matteo from 2001/2.

Premier Predictions (Week 38) The Final

Here we go the last week of the season, 10 games all on Sunday.

As far as the Premier league goes there is only one thing left to sort out.
Arsenal or Tottenham to finish 4th, Tottenham look to have the easier game at home to now safe Sunderland, Arsenal go to the slightly improving Newcastle.

The prediction competition is still wide open, as although I've taken the lead my lack of draws means any of you will overtake me with an outright win :(
So here they are ... good luck all.

Chelsea v Everton
Liverpool v QPR
Man City v Norwich
Newcastle v Arsenal
Southampton v Stoke
Swansea v Fulham
Tottenham v Sunderland
West Brom v Man Utd
West Ham v Reading
Wigan v Aston Villa

Most importantly our prediction competition which has shaped up nicely with all 5 of us with 6 outright wins so far.
Wigan's defeat in the week means they are in deep trouble and a trip to Arsenal in the week (who are still chasing a top 4 spot) could seal their fate, Newcastle Norwich and Sunderland might only need a point.
Games on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday.

Aston Villa v Chelsea

Stoke v Tottenham
Everton v West Ham
Fulham v Liverpool
Norwich v West Brom
QPR v Newcastle
Sunderland v Southampton
Man Utd v Swansea

Arsenal v Wigan

The Championship

So Cardiff and Hull make it up, plus one from Leicester, Palace, Brighton and Udinese reserves.
From what I've seen of them they are all going to struggle next year.
Cardiff have been the best of a bad bunch but will need to spend some serious cash to survive next season, and Hull must already be odds on to finish bottom.
Personally I think Brighton, Palace or Leicester if they go up stand the best chance next year.
