6 pointers galore

It’s come to that part of the season, where to many teams at the top and bottom of the Premier League, every match is a certain 6 pointer. The strain on a managers face is painful to watch as he recognizes that his career might be dependent on the results of a handful of matches. The pressure on Premier League football managers has never been so intense - and the perverse thing is, that this end of season “do or die” pressure, makes the climax of the season all the more fascinating to watch. The Newcastle v Arsenal match (Live on Setanta – this Saturday 5:30pm) is a classic case in point. If Arsenal win they could go a long way to securing their Top 4 Champions League qualification place, whilst if Newcastle loose they suddenly find themselves potentially dropping out of the world’s richest football league competition – Captivating stuff!
