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

[Bez2k2k]

I want Wolves and Leicester to go down, not only cos they're located in two of the most horrible parts of the country and I feel sorry for our fans needing to travel there, but because they'll be in big trouble - especially Leicester - financially if they go down. About time somebody else apart from Everton gets made an example of.

How you figure? Leicester have just beaten the league to say can’t do us for a 3 year period when one of them years we weren't even in your league. Plus, they get parachute payments and Wolves would sell Cunha which would get them about 70m.

I think now realistically it’s prob Saints who are already down, silly of them to appoint a manager who wasn’t one to try and keep them up, Leicester, hasn’t work for Ruud and unfortunately their defence is awful, I do think it’s prob now Ipswich but they do worry me. I feel like they have a few wins left in them. What I think is more likely to happen now is West Ham or Palace may plummet, West Ham haven’t got going under Potter but yeah, I think it’s prob the promoted three.

I'd rather get opinions from the Bedrock Football Podcast!

They should worry about their own football not others. Luton has never been relevant.

It has, really, and I though the Walter years were the absolute nadir.

But even those days weren't blighted by points deductions, PSR, Frank Lampard, the Rafatollah, 777, Denise, Headlockgate, The Esk, and Richard Masters.

Looking back, Walter's days were almost halcyon. 7 centre-halves on the pitch, one up front, Duncan sold out from under us, signings bought on credit returned to the seller, 3-0 at Middlesbrough, and the constant chorus of "Disappointed". They should have added Electronic to the stadim playlist.

Poor Esk, how’s he found his way onto that murderers row

It certainly does. I've just had a quick look, and it's only once in the last 20 seasons a points tally as high as 40 was required to stay up - that was Wolves in 2010/2011 who finished 17th on 40 points, 1 point ahead of Birmingham.

The average in that time was 35 points.

33 points will be safe this year

Go back 10 years and Stoke, Swansea and Southampton were consistent top 10 prem finishers so that's the cyclical element of Football if you're a mid table club and get a few managerial appointments and key signings wrong.

What sort of eejits would do that

 

[The binman chronicles]

Closer to 800 million, they need to get their facts right before posting.

All gob*****s.

Someone who doesn't know their football history...

 

[DanB90]

Remember the Wolves fan who came on here a few years ago who said they would rival City, all because they won a couple of games

They were getting carried away while they were still in the championship. Shouts of champions league within a year because they were signing all those Portuguese players.

 

[overkill]

I think a team will be able to stay up on sub 30 points this season

 

[Lawrence]

You cant really see Wolves dropping out. When we looked vulnerable I felt Wolves would overtake us. I hope Ipswich stay up, but realistically the bottom 3 as it stands will drop

Think that would change if Cunha got injured. Not sure they've got much else.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Tonight’s performance suggests we’re not out of the woods yet.

Mental to think they got 6pts in a very large part due to Cunha when he should have been banned, and played major roles in those wins.

Because he’s an alarmist quilt?

Yeah, I still can’t believe he didn’t get kicked for a couple of matches for that. Ridiculous. We got a yellow for imitating a seagull.

He’s busy posting pics of his Korean chicken bowl from inside the ground. Fair play, saw the stadium for the first time this afternoon and got into the game.
