Winner Stays On: Survival Sunday special

Winner Stays On / Maxliu / 22 May 2011 / Leave a Comment

Can Ian Holloway keep his side in the Premier League?

"Strap yourselves in for a white knuckle ride through the emotional highs and lows of the greatest league in the world... "

It's the final day of the season and our reigning champ is looking to hold off the challenge of another new contender...

This is what it all comes down to: two relegation places are left and five teams are battling to avoid falling into them. Whatever happens, an afternoon of sunkist trauma is in store for two sets of players and fans; nobody wants to go, there's nobody who particularly deserves it more than anyone else but the fact is that a couple of teams have to.

Favourites for the drop are Blackpool. They played a key role in last week's Winner Stays On but, while the Seasiders did the business for EddieHowedo then, he's got no time for them this week. Elsewhere, the reigning champ is backing goals at the Britannia and a winning end for Arry's lads. Standing in between him and a final day victory is Dan Thomas, who predicts goals at Old Trafford and the Lane and, possibly, an topsy turvy affair between Stoke and Wigan.

Strap yourselves in for a white knuckle ride through the emotional highs and lows of the greatest league in the world...
