The Surgeon of Crowthorne Liverpool did the same last season when they played Fulham at a similar stage. Fulham won & probably saved themselves at the expense of Sheff Utd, who previously had thought themselves almost safe.
With the draw last night, the title will probably be decided before the last game, meaning that when Chelsea play Bolton on the last day, they'll have nothing to play for. So, we can't rely on other teams screwing up.
We're fcuked, basically.

The 17 Bus I think it has been mentioned in other threads, but fate seems to be against little old Reading, Arsenal, the only top 4 we have to play hove only pride to play for now, and will probably field their strongest on Saturday,with Everton playing early on the thursday against Chelsea Liverpool could field a weakened side on Sat agaisnst Fulham knowing they would have a 5 point gap still over the Toffees and giving the 1st 11 a rest before the Champs League Semi. Sadly they might rest a few again against Brum, we need Chelsea to be in the title race on the last day as well imho, can we manage to go down on GD again in our history, how sad that would be.

It did play to our advantage when Liverpool had a very important C/L game a few days after the game at the Mad Stad...they hardly went hell for leather in that one.
The bad thing about the Arsenal game is, I think, they are the only team in the Prem that we havent got a single point from!!

2.8 lita injection With Liverpool playing champions league after the Fulham game it is going to give Fulham a decent chance of getting a result, its hard to work out as if Everton beat chavski on thursday then Chavski might have to win against Bolton on the last day of the season but i think Chavski will have 2nd secured by then so we need to gain some points before the last day of the season.

Arch I expect to see Walcott start and make Shorey look like a snail.

I think Chelsea will still have 2nd to play for come the final game.
2nd = no qualifying rounds for the CL.

It might work of Kitson was the fairy on top but Coppell will never drop Doyle.Royalee I still fully expect us to play the Christmas Tree formation, give them too much respect, play for a draw and concede after five minutes though.

Royalee We haven't got enough good midfielders at the club to play five in midfield unfortunately though.
