Relegation

Leeds have to win, HAVE to. They will be putting everything on them. Brentford on the break? Deadly.

I'd rather be in our position than Leeds.

 

[Nymzee]

They only need to win 1-0.

Score first then park the bus. Not outside the realm of possibility.

They don't have a -38 goal difference for nothing.

Burnley (34 points -18)
Thurs 19th - Aston Villa (a)
Sun 22nd - Newcastle (H)

Leeds (35 points -38)
Sun 22nd - Brentford (a)

Everton (36 points -20)
Thurs 19th - Crystal Palace (H)
Sun 22nd - Arsenal (a)

Burnley are winning their last two and I fancy Leeds to show up for Brentford (who will not be arsed). Crystal Palace at home always seems to be a disaster and there's no way we're winning at the Emirates. Picture looks pretty bleak to me.

Im sure it will be news to the club that they are playing away next game

Is he referring to our game at Arsenal?

 

[sbbefc]

Leeds pipped us in the league last season after a disastrous end.

 

[Wat Tyler]

I have absolutely no faith, none, that this rabble manage to beat Palace.

 

[Toast]

What if Palace beat us though

Loads of pace in that Palace side.

That Gallagher lad running everywhere..

Scary stuff.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Is he referring to our game at Arsenal?

apparently so

 

[barneygumble]

Referee ruined the game as it sapped the energy out of us.

Lampards subs weren’t great, but fortunately we have everything in our own hands and a win in Thursday clinched safety.

Everything went wrong for us, but we’ll fight for it again. Hopefully have Keane, Mina, VDB back for midweek.

Odds checker has moved us in from 12 to 8-1 to drop

We were above southampton in the odds at one point this afternoon - crazy

I thought this thread cud have been closed for good tonight not to be looks like players want to drag this out till next Sunday

Should have conceded about 5 today as well, not that it mattered in the end.

 

[Grogu the blue]

Im sure it will be news to the club that they are playing away next game

Should have put comma in to separate both games left

 

[DanEFC92]

Should have put more effort in against a relegated, shocking Watford.

Cold hard truth is i dont think we were good enough to press them with 10. We can go on about tactics formations. The defence was a complete patch up job. We dont have anybody even near eriksens quality.
11 on pitch i think we get a scrappy win.
10. They had a player who relished the space we couldnt fill

Yep fair. Mina and Delph were massive misses. That back 4 we ended up with was grim.
