Well timed because if the gaps 3 come Sunday and Newcastle lose to Arsenal the odds are going to shift dramatically.
7 points to go! Regardless of the other teams. 2 wins from Arsenal, Leeds, Leicester and Chelsea and a point vs Brighton is do-able. Can't get cocky though, need points on the board asap, Arsenal on Sunday is a huge game - hopefully they are in full meltdown by then.
Nice! After never getting a team relegated, Fat Sam is now lined up to make it 2 relegations in a row!
I'd rather newcastle were playing the Leeds that's been getting rinsed... it'll be ****housery now. Howe will not know what to prepare for either because it'll be something new and different.
Leeds have been nothing since Raphina, Phillips and Klich left, they're just a relegation waiting to happen now. Fat Sam ain't gonna turn that around, especially after those players are used to playing nice football, not Fatty's "hump it" crap. They're more likely to go down that Everton for me, although Everton also very likely to drop.
Leeds just lack grit, and also lack a lot of quality. Their fans are great and they might be getting a scrapper like Allardyce, but their team is bad, it easily gets overwhelmed and well beaten. Forest are probably best equipped to deal with the relegation battle, as they looked like a bunch of underhand foulers when they played us. Plus Leicester have a decent run and will pick up points. Leeds and Everton are right down in it though.
It won't surprise me if Leeds away is a difficult match given the stakes and Mr non football is at the reigns.
I really think Fat Sam has long since had his day, and it's total desperation that Leeds are going for him with 4 matches left. Even before he blew his relegation record at West Brom, he already look like he was a good decade past his sell by date. Leeds have been pretty horrendous all season, and actually getting worse recently. Of them, Everton, Forest and Leicester; Leeds are easily my first prediction to go down.
Or, as he's been out of the game so long and has lost the magic "saviour" image he could do a "Lampard". No one knows, so no reason to get bothered by it.
I'm not bothered but I'd like I said initially prefer to have played the side that's being getting rinsed... ie the known entity.
