Relegation 2022/23

[Walken]

If I quit my job and go to a better job should I be arsed what happens with the old one?

Depends on the job surely, if you worked somewhere with an emotional attachment wouldn't you want to leave it as best you could for the next guy?

If I had a hand in the demise of my old job, I’d say so?

Not been arsed since he got linked with the big move.

Why would he form this emotional attachment?
I quit my job a few years ago - miss my colleagues but cba if the place burns down.

Obvious different with sports but he's not from Leicester is he?

Because he works somewhere that interacts with the community in an essential way.

If you worked at a homeless shelter or hospital I doubt you'd be so carefree about them burning down. Football clubs matter to people, especially those outside the sky cabal.

The bigger question for me isn't Leeds - if we get 4 points, can you see Forest beating either Arsenal or Palace at Selhurst Park?

I think Leeds are a really unknown quantity right now - they came away with a fair bit of credit in defeat at City, they were arguably the better side against 3rd place Newcastle last time out as well. To my mind, despite how poor they'd been prior to Allardyce, you can see a change in them. They don't look beaten like Leicester do. Given the fixtures they've got, I can see a scenario where they get two wins if they continue that momentum. Granted, you'd probably get decent odds on that right now, but they worry me a bit.

Forest, on the other hand, I could see us catch even with just a win.

For me, I wouldn’t mind being Forest.

I feel quite a few are dismissing their chances, but in recent weeks they’ve just fractionally lost to Liverpool and Brentford away, then turned up and won their two home games and Came back to get a draw at Chelsea (no one favoured them there either).

Arsenal at home when they’ve more or less lost the title race could go either way, similarly, Palace away on the last game, nothing to play for, why can’t they go there and get a result? Plus the two point gap.

It’s all fine margins for Leeds for me. On one hand, City arsing round with that Penalty, gave them the counter option, which they took for a slice of luck.

Week after, missed a pen, worked hard scored with their own slice of luck via huge deflection. That probably gives them a bounce.
That said, and I’ll keep saying it, Spurs st home last day isn’t a banker most on here see. I look at West Ham, and spurs must think a trophy is a trophy for them, and I think it’s imperative they qualify for Europe next season.

But ultimately, if we do our thing and win out, who cares? Fine margins and I think we’ll just about donit, just hope that sloppy second we conceded on Sunday doesn’t come back to haunt us.

Yer youd argue a point would be enough for forest now, Leicester are as good as down for me.

Between us Leeds and forest now, I think we have the most favourable fixtures and have played well in the last few games.

Leeds and leicester to go down for me

 

[JamesEFC]

Leicester all but done then. In theory they could get out of it but highly unlikely especially given their body language at times last night.

Honestly feel as much as I hate the man if Allardyce had gone in there with 9/10 games they would have been safe.

 

[MACCA75]

Bournemouth at home worries me too. I think we’ll use the Brighton template and sit back and catch them on the counter. For me, that’s the wrong way to go about it.

We need a bear pit Goodison and to get that we need to be on the front foot and in their faces from the start. High tempo, higher press, overwhelm them. No reason why our midfield shouldn’t be bossing it.

Hope you’re right.

Personally feel Forest may need 2, to be certain. But their turn in confidence in recent weeks has been huge for them. The results against Brighton and Southampton (however concerning) had got them there and fair play.

I can’t see Leicester getting out now. I just hope Sam doesn’t get the bounce from Leeds on Sunday. If we get out of this weekend outside the relegation zone, but still not safe, I’ll be a lot more relaxed knowing we have Bournemouth, Leeds have Spurs.

Yes if you have an ounce of integrity in your body.

I sure hope the massively definitely not lowkey mafia insurance company does okay for their own sake, yes.

I was in a leicester forum this AM, there isn't a hopeful post anywhere. The fans are picking new managers for the championship, posting how early they left last night. It seems there is no fight,hope ,defiance left within the fan base even.
At least we have the fans which is worth the 12th man, especially the away matches.
I'm optimistic, not convinced, we will have enough.

Booed their own players during the last two matches, and those who were left tore a strip off them both times as well.

Smith isn’t a good appointment imo, and won’t have fired them up - the fans look as shattered as their players.

Feel a little sorry for all the clubs down there with us, as I think they have all had ownership and boardroom issues the same as we have, but obviously would take them all going down long before we do.

Aside from the holgate thing, which was bang out of order, we’re with the team and supporting them every minute of nearly every game. I didn’t go to the Fulham match before anyone kicks off - I was on holiday, so can’t comment on the atmosphere.

Going into the last two, the away blues will be there usual amazing selves at wolves and I think Goodison is going to be electric, noisy and nasty for the opposition and officials in the last game - hopefully that counts for something.

Allardyce first 6 games at Everton when brought in to keep us out of a relegation scrap were 3 wins and 3 draws.
Im not sure why you're "proper laughing"

Because Leeds are absolutely dire and the past has absolutely no relevance to the current situation.

 

[Thomasc]

3 weeks ago I had us and Leeds to go down with Southampton.

Luckily two major things have happened since then.

Leicester got worse and we pulled off a freak away win which has probably saved us.

I don’t see Leeds doing any better than us over the next two games and Forest are still deep in this too with their remaining fixtures.

If (huge if because we are expected to lose our next two games) Dyche keeps us up it will be a truly astonishing achievement.

This must be the worst squad in Premier League history - and frankly it's not even the players' fault. They try and they give their all, but many of them are simply not good enough. Or, in the case of the brilliant DCL, they have rotten luck with injuries.

Dyche inherited a team firmly ensconced in the bottom two with an impossibly hard run-in and all the 'easy' teams having already been played twice under Frank.

And of Dyche's two main strikers: one (Maupay) is a guy who scored just 1 goal every 4 games on average at Brighton and the other lad (DCL) has scored just 3 goals from open play in 2 whole seasons.

It would be truly a miraculous feat to keep this squad in this division.

Not a huge fan of Dyche, but if he does it he will always have my backing.

You are very sus.
