Who do we want to go down (from realistic candidates)? Obviously the first choice is "anyone but Saints". But assuming we end up safe, my first choice would be
WBA (those ****ers).
Next West Ham. Third choice Stoke (for conning us in taking Pulis Jr.)
Spurs (for selling us Forecast) would be nice, but not realistic.
If we are 13-0 down near the end of the match, and Wigan (having already beaten Arsenal) score to lead 1-0 against Villa, we would be in a strange position of wanting either Wigan to get a second, or Villa to equalise!
Football ... it's a funny old game.
A point for Sunderland means they are safe as long as Wigan don't beat Arsenal AND Villa (alternatively one of Norwich or Newcastle pick up less than 2 points).
A point for us means we only need at most a draw against Stoke to be safe. And we can lose* to Stoke if Wigan fail to beat Arsenal and Villa, OR Villa lose against Chelsea, OR Newcastle fail to win one of their last 2 matches, OR Norwich fail to win one of their last 2 matches, OR Sunderland lose to Spurs, OR we lose by only 1 goal to Stoke and Sunderland fail to beat Spurs.
This has 0-0 written all over it.
* Non-cricket score.
- Wigan will win away at Arsneal and win home to Villa UNLIKELY
AND
- Norwich will pick up 2 points or more from West Brom and Man City POSSIBLE
AND
- Newcastle will pick up 2 points or more from QPR and Arsenal PROBABLE
AND
- Sunderland will beat Saints POSSIBLE
AND
- Saints lose at home to Stoke UNLIKELY
UNLIKELY*POSSIBLE*PROBABLE*POSSIBLE*UNLIKELY = BLOODY UNLIKELY

Don't think we'll get another point this season.
