The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[MaximusEvertonius]

Cuccurella ‘Big Hair’ just kept Leicester in the basement where they belong. Not rooting for Chelsea ever. Just want clubs below us to keep losing until we’ve become a club that only looks up and don’t need help from losses by someone else.

Useless Leicester

Shame Leicester didn’t have an extra hotel they could sell to themselves, otherwise they might have fielded a better club. Sad .

It's done isn't it.

Title and relegation were essentially settled by end of Feb, only minor interest left is who gets the last CL spots. Having an unexpected team in there at least gives something to this season.

Everton's fault, should have kept dyche and kept the gap to 17th at 3 points all season!

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Even if the bottom three over the course of the remaining 10 matches all earned exactly what it took them to earn over the course of 28 matches, they’d be sitting at 18 and 34 points. So even for the super worriers in here, we’d need one more point because the Tractors and Foxes GD is atrocious.

 

[knowing your history]

I agree with you about Ipswich. After 28 matches, they’ve earned 17 points. Getting 10 points in only 10 matches is impossible.

Wigan under Martinez always used to be on 21/22 points with about 8 games left and then go on mad winning runs. Leicester also had one in the season before they won the league.

It is unlikely but not impossible.

Watching a bit of Chelsea game and the comms said Leicester are now on to lose 12 of their last 13 games! Van Nistelrooy was a disaster appointment. I get the style under Cooper wasn't great but they were in most games under him home and away. Been a very costly run for them as they end the season with home games against Southampton and Ipswich so could've potentially been six crucial points if they'd even got another six points on the board.

That Buononotte lad for Leicester is absolutely maddening. All the skill in the world but makes the wrong decision almost every time. I can see why he looks good on MOTD but doesn't get picked regularly by any of his managers.

Were Leicester actually unlucky for once or were Chelsea deserved victors?

Just checked, Faes played, so they deserved to lose.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I heard the same stat during the match about dropping 12 from 13. That says it all right there.

Isn’t Jamie Vardy supposed to score goals

Wtf is he doing

I think Chelsea had about 20 shots to Leicester’s 3 .

 

[canuckblue]

Magic number now 14 (13 really given the GD). In case anyone still thinks we're in danger.

Scoring at home probably , poor sod . Even my wrinkly old mid life , unappreciated and unappealing little soldier would run a mile from Mrs David Dickinson.

Ipswich has a brutal April. With 10 matches remaining, the maths aren’t in their favour. And they’re the only real threat from the bottom three to get out of the basement. The current bottom three are the ones going down. Wolves will escape and probably finish around 30-32.
