And for us poor supporters.
Tonight it will be Arsenal V Wigan. If Wigan fail to beat Arsenal, Sunderland will stay up. The odds against Wigan doing this are about 7/1.
Why do I think this will not go the way I want it to!
Actually, in other circumstances I'd like Wigan to stay up, especially after their heroic FA cup win last Saturday. But I'm afraid it is almost certainly us or Wigan, so I am an Arsenal supporter tonight!

CRICKET. DURHAM WIN AGAIN!
I have to say that this is unexpected. Durham finished the 2012 season very well, but we have a young team and were expected by many, (not me, I think we'll be okay) to be in a relegation scrap in the County Championship.
But today Durham completed their fist ever win at the Oval, which makes it three wins out of five this season, and including the games since Paul Collingwood took over the captaincy, eight wins out of eleven.
This is stunning form and if it is kept up we would romp away with the Championship. But while this form is actually very unlikely to be maintained, it does look as if the signs are there that Durham are growing again after a difficult couple of seasons following our two titles in successive years. Since then we have lost experienced quality players in Di Venuto, Plunkett, Blackwell and Harmison who now seldom plays. But young guns in Rushworth, Borthwick, Stoneman, Wood and now Ryan Buckley are standing up and playing their part.
These are great signs. Durham in this match, who were missing Graham Onions who is playing for the England Lions, fielded eight home grown players out of the eleven involved, with only the inspirational captain Collingwood over thirty.
Watch this space I think they say!

Nearly, nearly there!
Sunderland 1-1 Southampton.
This might be enough to keep us up, although our history of needing last day results suggests it might not be.
We now need Wigan, who heroically overcame the billionaires of Manchester City yesterday to win the FA Cup, to get less than a win at Arsenal on Tuesday night.
Our knees are still knocking!
