Hull Moves One Step Closer

By: Matt | May 17th, 2009

Hull City 1 Bolton 1

Despite the fact that Hull should have won this match 3-1 (damn you Jussi!), one point still leaves Hull with everything in their hands come the final day. Now on 34 points, Newcastle seems to be the only real challenger, as Boro is three points back, and four goals worse in terms of differential. Newcastle must win at Aston Villa however, or draw and hope the Tigers lose. All in all, it is sure to be a wild final day, harkening back to final day 2005, when West Brom rose from the dead to stunningly stay up at the expense of Southampton, Crystal Palace and Norwich.

Now there has been talk of United putting out a ‘weakened’ team as the title is clinched, and the Champions League final close on the horizon, but lets not kid ourselves. ANY team United put out will be capable of winning a match. Hopefully the KC roar will be able to lead the lads to the required result, but for those who are faint of heart, you may want to just to avoid Saturday all together. Preview to follow this week.

    Bringing my regards from Arsenal followership. Hope you all stay up, after your start, I can’t believe how your form dropped so badly, but you all deserve to stay up. You can make a great impact, and frankly, Newcastle deserves to go down, the pariah they’ve been all season. I’m pulling for you-

    I’ll be supporting Hull this weekend, but not expecting Man Utd to do any favours. There’s so much squad depth that even a weakened team is dangerous. Maybe doubly so if those not-quite-first-team players are trying to earn themselves a Champions League final shirt.

    I feel very, very conflicted about this one… obviously, my United loyalties reign supreme, but I much prefer Hull in the EPL to shambolic Newcastle… Best of luck this weekend… Sort of…
