Newcastle Will Stay Up. Probably.
According to my Premiership Predictions (based partly on the assumption we’re not going to win anything away from home), we were going to be in a bit of a relegation battle. However, my calculations using the BBC’s Premiership Predictor, show that we’ll stay up, but it’ll be a close-run thing, and if we hadn’t won today it might be a different matter…
As I say, I deliberately erred on the side of caution, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see Newcastle pick up an extra point or two, but we should now be safe:
| Team | Played | GD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reading | 38 | -22 | 37 |
| Newcastle | 38 | -28 | 37 |
| Wigan | 38 | -24 | 34 |
| Fulham | 38 | -25 | 34 |
| Bolton | 38 | -24 | 31 |
| Derby | 38 | -61 | 12 |
…and that would be pleasing for Sunderland fans, because it would also see Derby set a new “lowest ever” Premiership points total, beating their 15 point mark of 2005/06.
