May 11th, 2008 · No Comments

It’s not usual for blogmanutd.com to predict other teams’ games unless it involves United. However we tried to get a little thoughts on this interesting finale to the relegation fights. Who will go down (apart from Derby who is already relegated)? Birmingham, Reading, or Fulham?
