    Hard to judge from 45 minutes but he seemed to have something about him for sure. Hopefully we play to his strengths.

    stranger things have happened against the top 6.

    Palace beat 3 of them last year in their run and i remember sunderland used to do it on a regular basis for their great escapes

    Meanwhile we haven't beaten a top 6 side in the league since May 2016.

    i fancy you boys to get at least a point against pool next week although i expect you to lose against Brom.

    You guys have been putting up a good fight against the big boys this year

    Without winning.

    So when we're in the relegation zone you expect us to get 1 point from Brighton and West Brom and still stay up?

    1. Manchester City - Obvious winners. I think they'll do it with 20 points more than 2nd.
    2. Liverpool - I think they have the fire power to finish above United.
    3. Manchester United - Their side doesn't scare me. They'll be comfortably 3rd.
    4. Chelsea - Ummed and arred for ages about the 4th spot. Given it to Chelsea because they have players that will surely play into form.
    5. Tottenham Hotspur - I think it'll be very, very close between them and Chelsea.
    6. Arsenal - They'll improve and score a lot but their defence is horrendous.
    7. Leicester City - I think we'll be the "best of the rest". Just. Way behind Arsenal.
    8. Everton - I think our strikers will be the difference. in terms of us vs Everton. Ahead of Burnley by a decent margin.
    9. Burnley - Sides beginning to work them out. Too good defensively to plummet down the league. They'll meander till the end of the season.
    10. Crystal Palace - Top 10 finish. Says more about the quality of the league than Palace.
    11. West Ham United - Club stinks. Going nowhere. Miserable end of the season.
    12. Bournemouth - "Too good to go down". Whilst also being too poor to do owt. Morata <laugh>
    13. Newcastle United - Slimani a great signing for them. I think he'll score goals for them.
    14. Southampton - Also too good to go down. Expecting them to sack the manager though.
    15. Watford - Unless they can get Richarlison going they'll flirt with relegation.
    16. Swansea City - This short run might just keep them afloat.
    17. West Brom -Annoyingly I see them surviving.
    18. Stoke City - If there is a god then these will go down. Poor defence and no goals in the team.
    19. Huddersfield Town - Simply not good enough.
    20. Brighton & Hove Albion - Can't see where goals will come from and they're poor defensively.

    nope, just saying you can't write off your chances because you don't see yourselves beating the top 6. Normally when relegation beckons teams have that extra focussed and club in the top 6 don't mean ****, especally if what they are playing for is all over or they bottle it.

    Never fit into our system but I think he'll score goals up there.

    He was always going to look **** playing the number 10 role behind Vardy.

    Too good to down, people said that in 2005 as well <laugh>

    There's no such thing, and you clearly haven't seen much of us this season.

    You are too good.

    Like I said, I'm basing the prediction on you getting rid of your manager.

    Our board have been pretty clear that they are keeping Pellegrino in charge.
    If that's the case I wouldn't be surprised if we don't win another game for the rest of the season.

    Nah we have won 4 in 25, so are due at least 1 more in the last 13, maybe 2.

    Normally I'd agree and the law of averages would back you up but the way we're playing right now suggests will be very lucky to get 2 wins.

    Give it a few days and my optimism will probably return but right this minute I'm struggling to see any wins.
