It's Hodgson and Arry down to the wire...

There's only one weekend left to decide who will finish 7th, and the only contenders are Spurs and Fulham.
Both teams won yesterday, Spurs at home 2 v 1 against Man City after a dubious penalty decision (bout time we had something) and Fulham beat Newcastle away 1 v 0, after Newcastle had a clear goal disallowed.
Roy and Harry are both quality managers. Hodgson rescued Fulham from relegation last year and has brought them on wonders, and Harry has moved mountains this year with Spurs. So it's no surprise that they are the only two teams left challenging for that Europa Cup place.
Zola hasn't been able to keep the Hammers up to the same levels as Hodgson and Harry, and Mr Hughes hasn't been able to turn the Citeh into the team everyone was expecting.
So on the last day it'll be London versus Merseyside. Fulham take on Everton at home and Spurs will be up against the mighty Liverpoo. If Fulham nick a draw or win then they'll finish 7th, if they lose and Spurs manage to beat Liverpoo for a second time this season then Harry's magical team would have done wonders.
It's all still to play for, but for me Fulham have already nicked that spot. I can't see Spurs winning away to Liverpoo, even though Man U have won the title, Gerrad and his scouse mates will be looking to give his home crowd a reason to go out and steal some hubcaps after the game.
So it's Fulham in Europe next season, and Spurs can concentrate on pushing themselves up in the league and catching the Arse, they're ONLY 20 points away.
Although I maybe wrong, Keane might find his feet finally and smash in a hatrick in the Kop end....
Who knows, it's a funny old game......
