Relegation

They wont get a point for their next 3 games David.

I dont know. Maybe.

Best case scenario we can hope for in Leeds' next 3 is they get a couple of draws. I'd love them to get no points obviously.

If that's the case, we have the next 3 games to cancel out their 6/7 tally.

If we get 3 points against Chelsea on Sunday that'll change the way they play too.

Win games and pressurise those two above. If we do that then one will falter. Dont win the next one and they are on easy street.

This is where we've left ourselves. But Leeds' remaining games look iffy to me.

Leeds to put us down and gift Liverpool the league...

City winning 8-0 is more likely

 

[billyblue80]

I'm in a we are dropping mood today. I even packed my bag for the championship

 

[Fansince1988]

Chelsea game probably decides our faith...if we win, then its very much in our own hands and we should be able to get enough points from Brentford/Palace/Watford to just survive....

I'm more looking at Leeds than Burnley at this stage as our best chance of getting out of jail

I still think even if we lost against Chelsea we could still just do it, but it would be no messing from then on, I’m not thinking about the Arsenal game as it would be terrible to have to go there and win on the last day. We need an away win ASAP law of averages you would think we would get one sooner or later.

 

[Toffeepot]

I just realised Chelsea will be rotating heavily when they play leeds because it's 3days before the cup final.
We can't count on them dropping points elsewhere, gotta rack up our own.
Tbh I'd much prefer Burnley to go down, I like Leeds, but I'd take anyone over us gladly

 

[ForeverEverton]

My view is

Chelsea 0
Leicester 1pt
Watford 3pts
Brentford 3pts
Palace 1pt
Arsenal 0

Is that enough?

 

[Julio Ananas]

Unless you mean your going to die your hair blonde adopt a Manc accent and play the piano you should see leeds on 34 with 5 games to go as something bad.

CITY ARS CHEL 0/1 pts

Newcastle were set up for it under Ashley. That's literally what he did. He didn't invest much when they were in the PL but when they were in the Champ he was able to keep the same budget and throw a bit of money to get them back up.

Fulham and Norwich are, quite literally, built to do exactly that.

Everton are not.

Everton are much more akin to Aston Villa when they went down, and it took them 3 years - and a great talent in Grealish - to get back up. And Aston Villa were not as financially knackered as Everton are.

No one knows what's going to happen mate.

Doomsday posts from people with no idea what the owner will/will not do because they read our accounts or follow a fan shareholder on twitter.

Everyone was convinced we had broken FFP then we pulled some outrageous stunt offsetting multi millions to COVID and got off da hook.

Lets wait and see before pissing our kecks.

Leeds would have seen tonight’s game as a must win with who they have to play in the next 3, point obviously will help them but if I was a Leeds fan I’d be a little worried. I’m more worried being an Everton fan but that’s another story ?

Yep.

It's that simple: if they get beat by City then we beat Chelsea we are technically still capable of finishing above both Burnley and Leeds.

...If Burnley get beat against Watford and we beat Chelsea then they're already leapfrogged.

Beating Chelsea will be huge if we get it.

Agree

 

[CheshireBlue]

What do they have to lose? And Burnley aren't exactly top drawer like are they?


If we beat Chelsea I think we'll be back in this.

Do you think we should go for the win V Chelsea or setup for the draw like yesterday given the quality they have?

Serious question - did you watch Leeds play tonight? In case you didn't, they were dreadful. They now face arguably the best team in Europe, a team who are hunting down 4th and a superior side who despise them from a rivalry spanning over 50 years. I.e., Leeds lose their next three games.

I really hope we do

So it cant be done then ?

No
