Villa 42 pointsBlackburn 39 points - Man Utd (h) & Wolves (a)Blose 39 points - Fulham (h) & Spurs (a)Wigan 36 points - West Ham (h) & Stoke (a)Blackpool 35 points - Spurs (a) & Bolton (h) & Man Utd (a)Wolves 34 points - West Brom (h) & Sunderland (a) & Blackburn (h) West Ham 33 points - cant catch us.Too many permitations ! But Wolves and Blackburn play each other so they can't both take max points. Blackburn have Man Utd next week as well. All but safe, Blackburn loss at Man Utd would probably seal it? If looking for a likely loss.
even if blackpool lose today, they can still go above us, as can wigan.

Wolves to beat West Brom and Sunderrland, lose to/draw with Blackburn.Wigan to beat West Ham, draw with Stoke.small heath to lose to Fulham and Spurs.small heath back down to three divisions above where they belong.

This season has been just like GT mark2, good players led astray by an out of touch manager (sorry Sir Graham, still love you). All DOL did was buy Sorensen and McCann and picked as near as possible Gregory's team that was 6th when GT took over. Unsurprisingly, we finished 6th.There's some truth in this but it wasn't quite this straightforward. We were in the bottom 4 in December I remember.True, but it was looking much better. When we were linked with Solano and Izzet in January, I predicted that if we got them we'd qualify for the Champions League. We only signed Nobby and missed out by four points I think. I bet it you went back to H&V at that time you'd find a hefty proportion of people thought the world was about to end

We need to put Gary Cahill at the top of a long list to buy on the summer.

Even if we bring in a new manager we still need to get rid of Friedel, Collins, Dunne, Warnock, Beye, Heskey, Petrov. Add to that that both the Young's and Reo-Coker are likely to leave, that's a lot of players to replace. What if it's Hughes? Don't think he'd be in a rush to get rid of Friedel, Warnock or Dunne.
