The Premier League Thread

They will lose to wba. Just to annoy everyone in the bottom half.

 

West Brom are down now. 7 points adrift.

 

4pts next week.....

 

Which is problematic because they have late-season fixtures against Swansea and Palace on the docket.

 

Not mathematical safety for Watford yet, but realistically that is them out of the equation. They can stumble over the line from here.

 

We'll be safe by then

 

Heh, we'll either be safe by then or pretty much confirmed for relegation, given our schedule.

 

One or the other.

Safe, I reckon, though not entirely by our own efforts. Have you seen Stoke's next 5 games? Or Palace's?

 

Palace's next few are absolutely tough sledding. Then, they end the season with Bournemouth (A), Brighton (H), Watford (A), Leicester (H), Stoke (A), WBA (H). At the same time, we play Arsenal (A), Chelsea (H), Leicester (A), Bournemouth (H), Everton (A), Man City (H).

If we aren't well clear of them by the time that finishing kick arrives, it would take a miracle to keep us above them.

 

If we win next week, my confidence levels will still be 60% lower than yours! I really hope we don't take it into the final two weeks, but I fear we will.

 

If we win next week, we can deal Stoke a mortal blow as well as boosting our own position. But we all know that.

I just hope the crowd really gets behind the team - that could make such a difference.

 

People spoke of mortal blows to Palace at the start of the season, and Swansea a mere five weeks ago. Huddersfield means 'mortal-blow' in latin.
I see nothing panning out as it should this season, nothing.

 

didn't know that about Huddersfield - I always though it had something to do with a field full of dairy cows.

It's getting to that point of the season when there is no time to recover from blows.

As for writing off Palace and Swansea weeks ago, where actually are they both now?

 

Feel dirty for saying it.....but come Spurs please beat Palace today 5-0 will do.

 

Kane should scored then.......plus Spurs should have had a pen for the foul on Trippier.

 

Have a word with them at HT Poch, to wake Spurs up. Oh, and bring Trippier and Son on.

I know Palace are sat in, but Spurs haven't woken up yet. And they certainly aren't as great a threat without those two on the pitch, particularly with Ali off form and Lamela lacking match fitness.

 

Or 1-0, that'll do ffs.

Spurs

 

Seriously, compared to Trippier, Aurier's crossing is amateurish.

They've got Rochdale in midweek, not Juventus, so there's no reason not to play their best available team here.

 

Miss of the season alert

 

Alli’s reputation stops him getting a pen there.
