Finishing 17th this season will be like finishing 1st...sort of.

 

The rest of the year will be a ruthless battering but after that yes if we can stay up our relegation threatened seasons are pretty much at an end

 

Twos each

 

Another dodgy penalty in favour of the big six.

 

I would have given it. He kicks the Arsenal player. Skims over the top of the ball.

 

He touches the ball first?

 

Doesn't matter if he then goes on to kick the opposition player like that. He's skimmed the ball as opposed to kicked it and then gone on to take the Arsenal player out. He's kicked the Arsenal player more than he "kicked" the ball. It's not like he's kicked the Arsenal player following through a proper kicked the ball clearance. He's just about missed the ball but didn't miss the Arsenal player.

 

Have to agree with your comment
The laws were changed to stop the potential leg breaker coming over the top

 

I agree it’s definitely more of a penalty than Maddison’s. But I would be 50:50.

If that happens tonight on Wilson. No penalty.
if that happens tonight on Salah. Penalty.

 

100% correct

 

Leeds are absolute ****e

 

Good.

 

I think it will probably come down to us or them

 

Or both!

 

Leeds have dragged themselves right back in the mix, it’s very good of them.

 

They look shot at the moment. Although not great I feel at least we are basically on an upward trajectory while getting some tough games out of the way.

 

Agree
We’d never have expected anything from this run of games, and I mean a 0 points expectation - so seeing them get in the habit of ‘at least trying’ is a bonus and a good thing

 

Ahem!

 

Weve won 1 game in half a season and only 3 points off safety. That proves how **** the league is

 

This idea its competitive is utter nonsense.. There's literally no chance most clubs
