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

[Vintage]

Hopefully we don’t see another thread like this ever again but then again I am nervous about these Yanks who own us…

Thought we wouldn't see another one after the end of last season but 3 months later here we go again. Start of next season is crucial to where we are heading

Some want him but not for me. Terrible football to watch.

Is the correct answer

Managers like Martin and Kompany and more concerned about their own brand than the results of their team.

Kompany maybe had the luck it was Burnley, probably most of other teams would have sacked him, despite an insane championship season, but I was surprised how appaling they were then in prem.

Mate we are 15 points clear. Forget the maths, it’s done.

I know it's done, but it would just be nice to officially acknowledge that we will be in the league next season. We might hear more from Moyes about contracts and summer transfer plans once we are mathematically safe.

I don`t think any of the bottom 3 will get to 35 points... Leicester still have Bournemouth, Brighton and Forest away with Newcastle and Liverpool at home. Ipswich have Chelsea, Newcastle and Everton away with Brentford and Arsenal at home.

I agree with you. The most I reckon either of them will get to is 26 points (the same number of points Luton finished on last season). There's a good chance they won't even reach that points total.

He will change tact and say he wont talk about players in contract or out of contract etc

Defo that last minute or so when Leicester nearly/should have scored, despite Toon i think i remember missing chance after chance

Yep, Dyche deserves credit for keeping us up but we have to remember staying up was completely out of our hands on the last Monday of that season. A Nick Pope save kept us up as much as Doucs.

….Leicester 0 Newcastle 2 after 11mins.

Surely once the Foxes are officially relegated, RVN is sacked, exactly like the Saints boss

Scariest moment I’ve had as an Everton fan, that late chance. This Leicester team is an absolute shadow of that one, and that one was pretty crap.

 

[windymiller]

Blimey. Leicester are shocking at the back.

Second goal was a disgrace, defenders not even running back to cover a rebound. Whatever his limitations as a player would expect better effort from Coady, they’ve downed tools entirely.

There’s still time for Dychey to save these lads
