Saintswatch - 7 to go

Saints 2 (Rodriguez, Lambert) Chelsea 1.

Saints add Chelsea to the scalps of Man City and Liverpool and move four points clear of the relegation zone. Highlights were Ricky Lambert's superb free kick and Kelvin Davis, a half-time sub, making a brilliant save.

I had a go at the BBC Predictor. Reading and QPR were joined in the Championship by Villa. Wigan escaped on goal difference while Saints finished 14th, 5 points clear. Chelsea pip Arsenal to 3rd while Man City cannot catch their rivals. I have gone with one win (WBA), one defeat (Spurs) and five draws.
