Reading Posh
Sophisticated rhetorician
Some wag on Posh Net has spotted an opportunity for skullduggery this weekend:
Plausible?With Charlton relegated tonight, the last remaining relegation place will go to either Wigan, West Ham, or Sheffield United.
16 Sheff Utd 37 -22 38
17 West Ham 37 -25 38
---------------------
18 Wigan 37 -23 35
and these are Sundays fixtures:
Man Utd v West Ham,
Sheff Utd v Wigan,
although Man Utd are already champions, I would say that West Ham have a hard task on saturday, so here is the conspiracy theory:
With both Sheff Utd & Wigan feeling somewhat miffed in the way that West Ham avoided a points deduction - IF West Ham are losing by 3 goals after 80 mins on Saturday, and therefore very unlikely to get a point, the players at Bramhall Lane ensure that Wigan win by one goal, thus ensuring that West Ham take the relegation place.
I wouldn't put it passed these professionals, is anyone with me with this thought??
