6 + 2 Point Deductions

[HalfTimeSayers]

I see “PL sources” have supposedly disputed Burnham’s letter where he makes the point about changing penalty mechanism in the middle of the process. Now saying the commission asked for their suggestion in August, and also asked the same of Everton, who suggested fine or transfer ban, which is as per the report.

First time they have defended themselves? They will feel they don’t have to defend the 10 points as they didn’t give us the penalty.

More pressure needed. Hopefully them allegedly breaking silence is a sign the criticism is hitting home.

I doubt there are too many people now who believe Luton aren't well capable of holding onto or even extending their gap over us.

At least those two results over the weekend will stop the idiot "they'll get out of it anyway" comments. Only the numbness ever thought that.

We are overwhelming favourites to take the third drop place.

Was bad weekend we had chances and failed to take them tonight. Was one of them days we move on palace lost two best players and wqs very lucky not to score at the end. Is still all to play

With every passing week where we fail to catch up on the points that we’ve lost, it’s going to hit the confidence not just of the players but also of the supporters. We need to get some of these points back I think it’s the only way we stay up to be honest.

Look we have to give it time aint just going to happen, we stay with the team is still games to go, is not over

We’re not though.

I don't care what any bookie says.

We're a club in deep trouble.

they win this appeal they can release it on dvd with the wimbledon coventry palace games be a lovely little stocking filler

I remember those were the exact words on the Everton shop when they brought out the AJ derby on DVD literally three months after the game.

Even had snowflakes on a blue background. Along with highlights of the Spurs game the week before (first win at the Lane in 26 years or something).

This is why we can't have nice things. Plucky cuts it for about five minutes, then it's all about the big-four/big-six, or whatever elite group we've committed the heinous crime of not being a part of.

In trouble ofc but is it certain no, still have games results like that happen tbis weekend. You can be negative about the situation at this time is fair, but is still reasons to think this team can get us safe

Sorry for calling your mate a name

I don’t know him well enough to be a mate, I just thought you came across as rude.

Can we accumulate 6 more points than Luton with 25 games remaining or 5 more than Sheff utd? Of course we can.

We aint down by any means there are 75 points to play for ffs stop being so negative.

We will be above Luton come the turn of the year, then we will have almost half a season to pull away from danger.

 

[Achilles Heel]

How United won that 0-3 is typical of our situation. Be we remain stoic and determined. Another day we equalise and go on to win. They were fortunate and have been all season against clubs outside top 7. We need a number 10 but play like that each week we finish mid table.

 

[Blue Willy]

They will probably say “ok we will reduce the reduction”, by 2 or 3 points. We need the lot off.

Have been for years to be fair, this absurd points deduction really is just kicking someone while they're already down.

City on for their millionth title in a row though with 115 charges, what a league.

This is where I’m at. I would be disappointed if we can’t amass more points than Burnley and Sheff Utd and the required number of points to overtake Luton.

 

[Jamiednm]

I’m pretty confident about staying up because the teams around us are significantly worse. Before the points deduction, I’d already written off the threat of relegation and was looking upwards.

The 3 promoted teams are awful, well strong a run of results together at some point which will accelerate us out of the relegation zone.

I want us to survive with the full 10 point deduction still against our name, and not set a precedent for decreased punishment on appeal, so that City and Chelsea don’t benefit from that precedent.

Yes, but this has got away from us now. We need a lot to go right for us.
