Relegation Thread 25-26

Leeds home form is strong where as West Ham’s is not. That soulless bowl can’t match Elland road. Funny teams like West Ham. They strut like the big time but can never fully shake the stench of second tier football.

11 points off the bottom 3. ruh roh indeed.

This thread could honestly be shut down now. The current bottom three will be twenty points behind 17th place by the end of the season. Their only hope is Iraola leaving Bournemouth to go to Liverpool.

Another defeat for Wolves, their poor fans must be wondering when their next points are coming from, 2 1/2 months since they drew at home to Brighton, 8 months since they won a game (3-0 v Leicester)

Correct me if I`m wrong, but aren`t they on the lowest points tally at this stage of the season since the Prem was formed, weren`t Derby on 6 points ?

The position they`re in now, is not far off them having been given a points deduction tbh.

I believe so, Southampton had 6 points last season, Sheffield United had 8 the year before

I saw an engagement bait post on TikTok last night looking at their run of games coming up and they reckoned Wolves’ next winnable game isn’t until they play Leeds in April, by which time they may already be down

22 points ahead of Wolves who haven’t won a league game since April

14 points ahead of Burnley who’ve lost 8 on the spin and who we play the day after Boxing Day

11 ahead of West Ham who haven’t won in 5 and couldn’t hold a lead twice today

Then you look above us, 2 points behind Palace, the Kult and Sunderland and a point behind United, 4 teams we’ve taken 7 points off this season

If relegation is creeping up on us then we’re creeping up on Europe more

Burnley is a must win game.

We ain't getting relegated.

Feel sorry for their fans,but it's great to see that manager failing.

They've always been the most glamorous second tier club in the game.

Burnley is a must win game.

And if we win it, you can make up a points deduction in January and a 5 game West Ham winning streak to put us right back in the mix. The magic of the relegation thread is that it can live an eternal life if you want it to!

After 17 games last season, 18th had 12 points.

After 17 games this season, 18th have 13 points.

West Ham have given themselves a real uphill task. I’m surprised at how bad they’ve been under Nuno. Leeds won’t lose many home games, they’re in a great position to stay up now and I can’t see anyone else from that pack getting dragged in.

West Ham have two winnable home games coming up back to back. If they can get 4 or 6 points they will catch up with the chasing pack. If they don't get at least 1 win, you'd think they are in huge trouble

coventry boro and ipswich seem to be the best the championship has to offer, obviously there is a play offs to negotiate. Not sure there's enough quality in any to trouble much of the PL at the minute. The jump and recruitment luck is so massive it seems Sunderland are the exception to the norm.
