Big games today.

Currently:

Arsenal 0-0 Man City

Bolton 0-0 Middlesbrough

Hull City 0-0 Portsmouth

Newcastle 0-0 Chelsea

West Brom 0-1 Stoke

West Ham 0-0 Sunderland

Knocking us to... 14th with Hull level but with a worse goal difference.

Ideally I think we want:

Arsenal win

Bolton draw or Boro win

Draw Pompy Hull

Chelsea Win

West Brom win or draw

West Ham win

[Eddie]

Bolton and Arsenal now winning.

[Eddie]

Boro back on level terms with Bolton, but West Ham have taken the lead at Sunderland.

[frosty]

Bolton winning again, which is good......also good is that Sunderland are losing.

barcodes 0-1 down Fat lampard the scorer

[Bobby G]

Stoke winning possibly the only bad result for us right now. Looks like they might just be safe too. Our game is a must not lose fixture.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Bottom 3 all losing and the gap is widening, lets hope the results stay as they are.

[Iceman]

Not too concerned with Stoke result, more so the barcodes and Boro who are both losing.

Exactly. If the teams ahead of us win it just means we lose out on some cash. If the teams below us lose it gives us a better chance of staying up, because as long as we match them we'll be safe.

[only2garners]

Bolton winning again, which is good...

No - a better result would be a draw. That would leave Bolton on 35 pts, 1 above us and still very much in the relegation mix.

[Tom]

Toon 2-0 down, to me this is the only result that really matters now.

Stays this way and we're 5 points from them.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Bolton 3-1 Middlesbrough.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Need to check the run ins and there is plenty of twists and turns yet, but the current bottom 3 could quite easilly be the 3 that go down. West Brom are surely not going to survive now.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Bolton 4-1 Middlesbrough.

[Bobby G]

West Brom is down and I cant see Boro getting about 4-5 wins to survive now.

Id rather had Stoke lose today and kept them closer to the bottom, but its going to be between us, Hull, Pompey, Stoke and Newcastle for the last spot and it could require up to 40-41 points.

[Tom]

I think its now down to the last place, hopefully Newcastle will do everyone a favour and take it without too much struggle

[beerwins]

West Brom is down and I cant see Boro getting about 4-5 wins to survive now.

Id rather had Stoke lose today and kept them closer to the bottom, but its going to be between us, Hull, Pompey, Stoke and Newcastle for the last spot and it could require up to 40-41 points.

Dont forget about sunderland too., Stoke have great home form and now have an away win , i think they may well have the fight to stay up.

west brom and boro and the other well its up in the air.

[Tom]

Hull and Pompey drawing is good for us, keeps them both around us

[Bobby G]

Yep I missed out on Sunderland.

Game against Stoke will now see two teams playing long-ball, direct, football up against each other with 3 vital points up for grabs.

[Ossydave]

I'm pretty confident the bottom 3 will stay as it is now till the end of the season...

[deftangel]

Stoke are definitely not going down now, they've got far too many winnable games in the run-in not to get the points required. I think Boro losing 4-1 has an air of finality about it...if Stoke don't lose to the Geordies next up, the latter are in a lot of trouble.

[Bobby G]

I think Newcastle will stay up. Cant see them not turning their form around for at least a couple of wins and pushing it till the end.

The other two may be gone though.

Its not over yet...
