Aston Villa 3-1 Hull
Everton 2-3 Man City
Man Utd 0-1 Sunderland
Newcastle 3-0 Cardiff
Stoke 4-1 Fulham
Swansea 0-1 Southampton
West Ham 2-0 Tottenham
So it looks like my unlikeliest relegation candidate got relegated
. My other two were completely off!
Go figure, football, eh?
The headlines are that Fulham and Cardiff have got themselves relegated.
Man C played very well to come back against Everton after going one down. Everton did at the time, have a chance of a UCL place, albeit a slim one. Great goal by Berkley, but not good enough to beat City. It looks like their title to loose now.
On the other side of Manchester, United got rather easily beaten by Sunderland, who played like a team with their shit really together. Deserved win and yet again I am very pleased for Gus and the joib he has done there. They are probably safe now, with Norwich having to beat Chelsea today to stay up in the EPL. This loss will, hopefully, silence all the emotive calls for Ryan Giggs to be permanent coach, but van Gaal seems to be the main man in the frame.
Villa played themselves away from the drop zone with a nice win against Hull.
Stoke won easily but didn't play that well, to relegate Fulham who were hopeless. The fight was probably taken from them in the previous game when then lost a two goal lead to only get a draw.
Dunno what was up with Spurs, they should always beat a team like West Ham but didn't. Spurs need a new Coach and some new quality players to go with with Erikesen.
Swansea & Southampton didn't have anything to play for really, then nothing happened for ninety minutes when the Saint's scored the winner. Southampton will do their best to keep their coach and best players at the club, but probably won't suceed. (Pochettino would do nicely for Spurs actually.

Sunday 4th May 2014
Arsenal 1-0 West Brom
Chelsea 0-0 Norwich
A draw at Chelsea is exactly the result that neither team needed. Chelsea out of the EPL title race. While Norwich are now only numerically still un-relegated, but really are down.
