I actually like the idea of Leicester staying up at Evertons expense.. if pool didn't equalise we had the opportunity to lose to Leicester on purpose
Odds to be relegated. Leicester 1/8 Leeds 1/3 Everton 5/4 Keep the faith because football's a funny old game
If you had to pick one of the 3 managers it'd be Allardyce. Plus Leeds have it in their hands, if they win tomorrow (against a team with nothing to play for who just played away in Europe on Thursday night and have a final to look forward to) then they have the gimme of a home game against a beleaugered Tottenham on the last day. My money would also be on Leeds.
They do look better under Sam. For his career and Leeds sake, I think he should stay on if they drop and should bring them back up.
Big Sam's been like a breath of fresh air but the proof of the pudding will be tomorrow. At least get something and force Everton & Leicester to have to win on the last day. Have to admit I've loved the last 2 seasons scrapping for survival as emotionally it's way off the charts when it goes to the final game
Bit late but Goons, lol. Well happy for Steve Cooper though, good manager and seems a top bloke, glad he’s proven himself in the Prem and kept Forest up. If he repeats the feat/ does better next season I think a few clubs might look at him.
Realistically we need to win both our remaining games ... the team of the last 2 seasons fully fit, you'd think OK ... this lot ... no chance ...
What a **** book. They’re saying there’s a 44% chance of Everton going down but a 75% chance of Leeds going down.
Interesting fact I thought I should share (just heard on Sky sports commentary of the match against Bournemouth). Manchester United have not lost any match they were winning at half time in 134 games dating back to 2014 when Leicester beat us 5-3. That will ease my nerves in future games
So last Prem away for some time today. With any luck could be my last VAR game for a while too but suspect the football gods are against me there. Genuinely wouldn't be surprised if we won today. Would be peak Saints to go on an 11 game run of 3 draws and 8 defeats barely putting an effort in to then turn into prime Barca once relegation confirmed. Either that or we'll get battered. Probably that tbh.
This is what you get for your Pep cuckoldry. So it will all be your fault mate. What will you change your name to if City do the Treble ?
