Obviously, even with Portsmouth getting a draw at home at the death today versus Sunderland didn't really help their chances...those are the kinds of games Pompey need to win to stay up.  But do they really deserve to be a Premier League Club...that club is more of an embarrassment to the EPL seeing they make more news off the field and not paying their players.  So that's 1.  Portsmouth!!

Second team that bows out will be Wolves - they still have the Big 3 to play - yes I said it the Big 3...sorry Liverpool has dropped out of being worthy of "Big" status.  Wolverhampton still has Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United to play.  Plus the likes of Tottenham (tomorrow), Aston Villa and Everton.  But how big could their last 2 games be...at Portsmouth on May 1st and then finish with Sunderland at home on the 9th of May.  If Sunderland can't get out of this funk - they might be playing for their Premier League lives on the last day of the season.

And lastly, if you look at some of the remaining schedules for teams fighting the relegation battle - West Ham may have the toughest one remaining.  They still have @ Manchester United, @ Chelsea, @ Arsenal, @ Everton, @ Liverpool  and host Man City on the last day of the season.  And Man City might be fighting for a place in the Champion's League on that day...so West Ham...it's been fun - but see ya wouldn't want to be ya!!
