Reading have only got to look at Charlton and Orient, who were both on bad runs but still managed to win on the final day of the season.
As with Fulham - hopefully Portsmouth will react to Cardiff's 3-0 win against Barnsley last weekend as they could do with a win to boost their confidence before the FA Cup final.
And Birmingham - anything could happen in that game...

Two things I've noticed about the offside rule which I didn't know previously:
- Germany's first goal v Poland wasn't offside as the ball was passed backwards to a team-mate even though both players were ahead of the defence. You can only be offside if the ball is passed forward to you, apparently.
- Holland's first goal v Italy wasn't offside as Panucci (who was off the field of play after a collision with goalkeeper Buffon) was playing van Nistelrooy onside.
Told you the offside rule is confusing
