2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

It wouldn't be significant but you could more or less say that would be us out of the fight providing Wolves and Ipswich slip up.

I'd just want us for once to do whats needed so we're not all having a nervous breakdown come May.

More than anything it would be nice to leave Goodison not having the threat of relegation hanging over us for once.

Not sure anyone would disagree with that!

Beating Leicester would feel like a huge step towards that.

Correct.

Mind you, if we lose to Leicester and DCL, Mangala and McNeil are out for the season, it’s time for the plastic sheets.

McNeil out for the season, where has that come from?!

There will be new signings in, probably 2-3 new ones if DCL and Mangala both going to be out for a few months and we already know Broja isn't going to be seen until April if he's still here.

I think the most important thing next week is to be solid against a limited Leicester and then scramble another 1-0 off a set piece. Reminds me of Leeds at home at start of Dycheball which was a terrible game and Seamus somehow scored from by the corner flag.

Get to 26 points and then you have a really good buffer to 18th and can afford a couple of winless games while the new signings adapt to the premier league.
 
Obviously Leicester losing would be for the best, but be pretty funny if spurs lost...

Not for me. Spurs getting relegated is 0.0001% imo. Don't want Leicester getting any sort of confidence boost ahead of next weekend.

However Spurs win this by 3 or 4 and Van Nistelrooy surely sacked as would be eight straight league defeats.

Lampard was sacked here on run of 7 defeats out of 8 so this is where Leicester are now. I can't believe they're going to give RVN even another month and then sack him as they'll be practically relegated then.

It’s real now or never territory for Leicester imo. Despite 7 losses on the bounce, they’re still only 1 win away from leapfrogging themselves up to 17th. If the lose today, they have to bin off RvN while they still have a chance of staying up.

I think Moyes said on Friday that McNeil requires surgery on his knee?

I’d love to be wrong!

That's the thing. They won't be looking at this club to overtake although they will see away game at Goodison Park as realistic chance to break their losing run and pick up a point.

Two points off Wolves and Ipswich still. I'd back Dyche to come in and grind out a couple of early wins to give them a chance.

Just intrigues me how long until they make their change as they went down last time because they didn't sack Rogers until April 2023. Perhaps this season they sacked Cooper a little too early and should've given him the xmas period and then made a change in January. They've only collected 4 points under RVN so would probably be on more points if Cooper was still there.

O.K that's a problem then.

Harrison been an unused sub since Villa so Moyes has quickly worked out his pap so I think a new wide player in next week and available for Leicester and another CF in on deadline day if Calvert Lewin expected to return in March.

Mangala is the big question mark now with Garner back and I presume Tim not far off as pretty sure he hasn't played since October.
 

Not to sure why some want Leicester to win. If they win today, then beat us. we put ourselves under pressure again. A spurs win is all that we all should really want (with a draw as the fall back result). The more away the bottom teams stay from us, the better
I am backing us to hammer them.

Looking up not down. Think the teams below us are poo

As others said, if we keep winning then our league position takes care of itself. Want spurs to win today though. If we can put a few more results on the board we can start looking up and seeing who we can catch.

Off course they are thats why they are lower than us. But we shouldnt be thinking we are safe. we are more than capable of going on a set amount of not winning games. Even more so if we never stop getting injuries. The more teams we can get closer to the better as it drags them into anything and should stop the press etc going on about us and relegation fight
