Big weekend at the bottom...Moyes and Strachan

Massive weekend at the bottom of the table - in my eyes it is either Newcastle (cue headlines Newcy down) or Hull who will join Boro and West Brom in the Championship. Newcastle have the better goal difference (six better) so you would think that if they could get a draw at Aston Villa they will stay up. After all, you would assume that Man Utd would win at Hull.

But it's not that clear cut, is it? Newcastle are a very poor team. I am not sure about Shearer as a manager - he may be all bluster and no tactical nous - but he was hardly handed a dream team when he took over the job, was he? Certainly, even if they stay up they will struggle again with the poor selection of players on their books. Are they good enough to get a draw at Villa? On a normal day, no, but with passions running high and Villa's players already on the beaches of Miami in their heads, yes.

So that puts it all down to Man Utd really. If the Purple One plays a team of boys, they could still win, but could just as easily lose or draw. A real tough one - maybe Phil Brown can sort his own head out and get his players to fight to the death in front of their home crowd. He seems to think he is the new Jose Mourinho but he reminds me more of the old Villa boss John Gregory (remember him!!) - all poses and pouts for the cameras.

So what do we reckon, then? Two draws...and Shearer to return to the TV couch.

Which could bring Gordon Strachan in at St James and David Moyes to Celtic...or maybe it will be a Moyes/Strachan swap between Celtic and Everton?

We shall see...
