Bristol City would be something a bit different in the PL.
I wouldn’t mind PNE staying up simply because I like Deepdale. [Post edited 28 Apr 15:38]

Bristol City going up would be great for Liam Manning after what he and his family have gone through. (But imagine the Ashton thread on their forum… it’ll go to 100 pages overnight with all the gloating). Would love to see Milwall go up. “No one likes us we don’t care” versus day tripper tourist fans is the content I want to see. Think Hull will be relegated [Post edited 28 Apr 16:07]

Would it? That's a bit weird. (EDIT: Brizzle fans gloating on the Ashton thread.) I get that it might if they finished above the relegation zone in the Prem but going up through the play offs would be achieving a bit less than he has already acheived here wouldn't it?
I definitely agree about Manning although it might be better for him to have another season in the Championship than manager them out of their depth in the Prem. [Post edited 28 Apr 16:18]

Sheff Utd and Sunderland are there. Brizzle should be too. I think Leeds might have a post-promotion hangover but if they don't they need a result against Preston who might need a result themselves so it could be nervy for them.
Coventry play Boro who will want the win but then they couldn't beat nodge with nothing to play for so who knows what will happen there? Millwall are dark horses travelling to Burnley who will want the win for the title (although if Leeds win tonight and on the last day even a win for Burnley wouldn't be enough). It is certainly much tighter than the Prem! I wonder if Blackburn might sneak in there with a win against Sheff Utd who are 3rd come what may. They won't be busting a gut with one eye on the play offs.
Winners of the play offs should be Sheff Utd but that recent dip in form will give the others hope. I still think they will do it.
Cardiff and Plymouth are down (all but mathematically in Plymouth's case). I reckon Hull and Derby will get the result but will Luton, Preston and Stoke? I think it may well be Preston or Luton to drop. Stoke would be quite something especially if they got a draw and went down on GD! | |

Sorry I don’t get what you’re saying. (It’s Monday morning here so that’s my excuse). What’s weird? | |

Sorry, yes I didn't make that especially clear. The idea that Brizzle fans on the Ashton thread would gloat. | |

You think they wouldn’t? Them replacing Ashton’s Ipswich would be a wet dream come true for a lot of them. | |

I used to play football with a Millwall fan who used to bang on with that ‘no one likes us we don’t care’ bollox.
I suggested in jest that it’s not that no one dislikes you but rather that no one particularly cares about you. That didn’t go down well. | | | |

I've a few good mates who are Millwall fans, so would be happy for them but it's a great day out and there are a sh1tloads of northern clubs in the Championship and so hopefully we don't lose another localish (for me anyway) away day. |  | | |

Playoffs:
Bristol City - PNE
This has all the makings of a 1-0 to PNE but I think that match will end up being very narrow. Bristol City are good at home and PNE look hopeless, losing to the lesser teams in the division. The two teams who were always destined to be mid table for the rest of their life suddenly have something to play for come the final day, playoffs, and survival. Despite Bristol's good home form, I have a feeling this game ends 1-1.
Bristol City: 68 points, 4 GD
Sheff U - Blackburn
I've got Blackburn to win 1-0 against Sheff U who are going into the playoffs with a horrendous playoffs record already. Sheffield United need momentum but I think this game is going to be a bit dreary regardless of how it ends, which will probably suit Blackburn, and, the final day almost always has surprises. I've chosen this to be the 'surprise' game, but it wouldn't surprise me in truth. Ismaël is a great coach, I think he's truly underrated. The job he did at Barnsley is still fresh in my mind, and the job he's doing now after the brief slump is really good. With that slump in mind, it's a good job the teams fighting for those last 2 places aren't showing real quality themselves, bar Coventry, who were in a false position for the entire first half of the season.
Blackburn: 68 points, 6 GD
Coventry - Middlesbrough
Coventry and Middlesbrough could end up 0-0, or it will be a cluster. Still, it's an absolute failure from Carrick that they aren't in the top 6 right now with the squad they have. I can't see Middlesbrough winning, I can see a Coventry win more than a draw, they have good home form, but something tells me Middlesbrough will snag a draw, heartbreak for Coventry.
Coventry: 67 points, 4 GD.
Middlesbrough: 65 points, 10 GD
Burnley - Millwall
Burnley will not lose to Millwall, this looks like a game that is destined to finish 0-0 that won't actually finish 0-0. Burnley win 1-0. Millwall left it too late again for playoffs. It must be depressing missing out so many times on the final day. I really hope they surprise me and go on to win.
Millwall: 66 points, -1 GD
Sheffield United 3rd
Sunderland 4th
Blackburn 5th
Bristol City 6th.
Relegation:
Bristol City - PNE
Already mentioned PNE, I think they draw 1-1 with Bristol City, I just think that in a panic, Preston will play better than they have been, and it will unsettle Bristol City all game.
PNE: 50 points, -11 GD
WBA - Luton
West Brom have nothing to play for now, they didn't really appoint well with Mowbray, it wasn't the right fit, and now I think they're just waiting for the season to end. I also think Luton are finally showing the grit they were known for, the fight in them that they had to 'overachieve' the previous few seasons, that showed us that they are probably one of the hardest teams to face on their best day, as mental as that sounds after the season they've had. After having the worst away form in the league, they now have 10 points in their last 4 home games, originally only achieving 5 away points all season. Brilliant turnaround from Bloomfield.
I've got this as a Luton 2-1 win.
52 points, -21 GD
Portsmouth - Hull
Hull have a good chance of surviving as well. The problem is, they are facing Portsmouth, who, despite already securing survival now, are not going to want to sit down now the season is over, they'll want as much momentum as possible, especially at home, heading into the new season. They'll want to win this game. Portsmouth are 9th in the home form table. Hull are 8th in the away form table.
This will be such a tight game, I honestly think it will be close. I think Hull find a way to win, what I consider to be against the odds. A close 2-1 win.
Hull: 51 Points, -9 GD
Derby - Stoke
I'll say it right now. This is either a draw, or a Stoke win. Stoke have a decent record against the bottom sides, they've only lost 2 games in 11 against all the sides currently below them, including, 3 wins, a draw, and a loss against Luton away from home.
Derby really need to get at least a draw from this, Stoke would be fine with a point themselves. I can't see a win out of this from Derby. I'm struggling for this one.
I'm sticking to my January bottom 3 prediction of Derby 22nd, Cardiff 23rd, Plymouth 24th (I have Cardiff beating Norwich and Plymouth losing to Leeds).
A 2-1 Stoke win.
Stoke: 53 points, -16 GD
Derby: 49 points, -9 GD
Playoffs:
Sheff Utd facing Bristol City
Sunderland facing Blackburn.
Relegation:
Derby, Cardiff, Plymouth. [Post edited 29 Apr 3:43]
