F365 - The Relegation Dogfight
As always, the relegation dogfight has descended into a dark comedy of error and predicting its next act, let alone the final twist, is a mug's game.
So here goes.
Despite the surprise defeat of Europe-bound Everton, West Ham still resemble a drowning man so deep in the mire that only his flailing hand appears above ground.
A paltry 38 points will probably be sufficient for survival, a figure that fourth-from-bottom Sheffield United should reach next weekend against relegated Watford. The Hammers, with a significantly inferior goal difference compared to their rivals, can only better that tally by beating Wigan and Bolton and then avoiding defeat at Old Trafford on the final day. It's a forlorn hope.
By hosting the Hammers next Saturday, Wigan can determine their own destiny. Victory will virtually guarantee Premiership status for another year and condemn the Londoners to the Championship.
Charlton's spring momentum has stalled and the possibility of a re-enactment of the Great Escape receded further on Saturday when Jonathan Stead equalised for the Blades. With Tottenham (h) and Liverpool (a) to follow, the Addicks' trip to Blackburn is a desperate do-or-die mission.
With a pathetic 36 points, Fulham may already have enough to survive. Encounters against Arsenal and Liverpool follow, so the Cottagers could have to wait for the expected home victories at Anfield and Old Trafford on the final day of the season before their survival is finally confirmed.
Interestingly, only once in the past ten years has the traditional 40-point mark proved decisive in the relegation battle. 2003, when West Ham were thrown out with 42 points, was the exception that proves the new rule that 40 points is now unnecessary. West Brom remained in the Premiership in 2005 with just 35 points, a haul that was also sufficient last season.
The market realignment is an accurate reflection of the stranglehold the Big Four has taken over the league. The flipside of the title's ever-decreasing margin for error is that the league's down-and-nearly-outs are feeding on increasingly pathetic scraps.

Maybe Keira Knightly will bring us some luck.
from 2005
Still only 20 years old, the tall, slender Briton has already been described as "the new Elizabeth Taylor", but shows none of the pretensions that most actresses assume when finding themselves fêted by Hollywood. A football fanatic and lifelong supporter of newly-promoted West Ham, she is as at home on the terraces at Upton Park as on the red carpet at a glitzy première. And on Saturday mornings she can be found in her local pub in Santa Monica, watching Premiership football on the television.
"The atmosphere there is amazing," she says. "The games are shown at 6am and the pub is always packed. I plan on watching all the West Ham games I can this season. We're back in the Premiership and we're going to stay up," she predicts confidently.
