Can’t bear we drop back to the relegation zone.

The difference is we have been threatening to give someone a hiding. Leeds might surprise but I think Leicester are as good as down.

Ah, I see I made the comment after the Brighton game

 

[SweetAmnesia672]

Leicester scares me more than Leeds. Because of their Goal DIfferential, they only have to equal up to the #17 team to find safety. Besides that, West Ham at home on the last day is a very winnable game for them. That result alone would be enough for them if Everton and Forest don't get to 34 points.

That said, there's a reason all these teams are at the bottom-- they'd bad.

Reckon this place will explode if we end up back in the drop zone again.

Yeah, and I'd be guilty of that too

Whatever happens, I don't want us in the bottom 3 at any point again now. My mental health depends on it

Mad that.
From the outside looking in, they’ve always looked a seemingly well run club. Like the Brighton of yesteryear.

And Southampton before them. And Everton before them. Eventually these clubs stop getting lucky in the transfer market and the inevitable slide down the table occurs.

You only have to look at the PL table this year to see how often Brighton have been shafted. The league will always make sure that no one outside of there club gets the benefits of CL football.

Couple of interesting comments from Allardyce and Lopetgui (arsed with spelling).
Sam was talking about going a goal down to Newcastle would be hard to come back from, and consideration to how they would react, and seemed to suggest there will be no full on attack like previous to snag one back, so yes, a complete 180* turnaround to Leeds game plan.

Wolves are planning on giving minutes to other players in their squad, meaning we might face an XI made up of fringe/bench based players. Could be helpful, or they might be chomping at the bit to get their name in for next season.

Fancy our chances of staying up now but don’t agree with all the comments about Leicester and Leeds down now.
They will be if we take care of business but I’m convinced there will be a couple of surprise results amongst their remaining fixtures….
That’s how it works at this stage of the season.
In the same way we had a freak result it could happen to one or two of the 3 others down there…

 

[Tony101]

Still mad to think that every promoted team could stay up. 1 or 2 are normally bankers to go straight back down.

Sure i heard via a Clip - dont know if it was via Talksport, that all 3 promoted teams have stayed up 3 times this century, if that is true

Would be crazy, but I still believe forest will drop if they can’t find a way to get something from Chelsea next go round.

Chelsea will beat them

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Note to self: have faith in Newcastle.

I feel dirty

Shocking that Lamps could still be a spanner in our safety chances

And of course our filthy Neighbours.

The only thing that might work in our favour as regards to our filthy neighbours is that the premier league are desperate for them to finish 4th. Onside goals for Leicester disallowed and penalties a plenty for our neighbours are incoming!

I think we need 4 more points.

Just iffy feeling about West Ham and Chelsea. Chelsea (who Forest play) have lost more than they've won this season. Conceded more than they've scored. Managed by the worst manager in the league, a team of mercenaries with no accountability to current boss to a team fighting for their lives in with some genuine ability to make the difference. Sure, Forest are grim away from home but that game is eating away at me a bit.

And West Ham (who Leicester an West Ham play) will likely have sod all to play for/have all attention on a Europa Conf Final.

All that said, I expected Leicester to get something vs Fulham and us to not get anything at Brighton so what do I know?

Anyway, 4 points please Everton.

I agree on the Chelsea / Forrest game, I think Forrest will get something there this weekend.

I think even if West Ham were not in the Europa league, they would have literally nothing to play for in these games, I guess the only thing is that they will rest players, which on paper, could make them a walk over. But we have seen before that teams at the bottom, low on confidence, like Leicester and Leeds, can still struggle, even when they are playing a side with nothing but professional pride to play for.

4 more points and we will be fine, im just hoping we scrape a draw vs city and a win vs wolves and go into the final day, 4 points clear.
