Are Newcastle going to clinch a Europa League spot?
Will Sunderland stave of relegation?
What about Hartlepool and Gateshead in their quest for promotion via the play offs- will they be successful?
I would love to see all of the above happen. However, the most realistic prospect is Gateshead qualifying for a play-off spot and, even then, I have doubts whether they'll keep their bottle and gain promotion to the Football League.
Although it's tight, I can't imagine any scenario where Sunderland will remain in the Premiership. The same applies to Newcastle with their hopes for a place in Europe. Hartlepool are too far adrift to clinch promotion via play-off, in my opinion at least.
As I said, I would love all of the above to happen, I'm just not getting my hopes up.
