The sheer fun of sending the geordies down ??

Undoubtedly it would although a little sad as well !!

They have more motive than Man U have to send out a strong side against Hull.

To see the geordies crying...

The question about that is are Hull good enough to beat United's under 12s?

They didn't look very good against Everton, the only reason it was 0-0 was because Fergie didn't rest the defence, so he still had Vidic and Ferdinand in there.

If he goes out next week and puts Neville at CB with Evans like he did initially against Villa at OT when Carew was mawling them, then Hull will get something.

I think you've answered your own question there.

Villa won 2 weeks ago.

I think I am right in saying that there is a cash payment to clubs for each point won and each place in the final table. Therefore 3 points from the last fixture would still be worth a cash incentive even if it does not alter the final positions.

Yes that's right. The Premier League are very keen to inject some competitiveness into all their fixtures.

Justifies the hype and probably to keep Sky happy too.

Villa have been having a running friendly feud with Everton the last couple of years, and as the two are safely in their own little league (5th-6th) I think Villa would hope to win that league this year, to show some progress from last season.
