Roll on another weekend of teams squirming <cheers>

Aston Villa v Leeds
Brentford v Brighton
Chelsea v Burnley
West Ham v Bournemouth
Man City v Newcastle
Crystal Palace v Wolves
Nottingham Forest v Liverpool
Sunderland v Fulham
Tottenham v Arsenal
Everton v Man United
 
In Tottenham's remaining 11 Premier League games they will visit Wolves and have home fixtures against sides around them in the table - Crystal Palace, Brighton, Nottingham Forest and Leeds.

However, their record at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season is frankly abysmal, so can they expect to turn their form around against fellow strugglers?

With just two wins and only 10 points accrued from a possible 42, only Wolves have collected fewer points on home soil.

While sports analytics and data experts Opta place their chances of relegation at just 4.84%, worryingly for Spurs supporters their team have collected just 0.67 points per game since defeating Everton on 26th October.

Unless Tottenham can arrest their slump, that would equate to a further seven points, taking them to 36 on the final day of the season.

Yep.

Think their home problems were predictable under Frank though, if hardly excusable.

Defending, counter attacking and set pieces are all very well at Brentford, ( or here if it comes to it) but Spurs at home are expected to go for games and they always seemed lost trying to do that under Frank.

Tudor will have them flying at it, but that might be a disaster too!
 
I see we’ve dropped to 33/1 from 50s to go down on skybet, people must have been lumping on us. Would love to see spurs go down but can’t see it, West Ham will do. Few tricky games coming up for them
 
Another massive weekend ahead

Wolves v Aston Villa
Bournemouth v Sunderland
Burnley v Brentford
Liverpool v West Ham
Newcastle v Everton
Leeds v Man City
Brighton v Nottingham Forest
Fulham v Spurs
Man U v Crystal Palace
Arsenal v Chelsea

Has anyone else started to get the "same old Sunderland" nagging feeling yet...I am more nervous than I was and thought that, for the first time all season, we looked like a "newly promoted side" last weekend...I hope that GX is back for Bournemouth as I don`t think he`ll let standards slip. For the first time in a while I think we NEED a result (a draw would count) and a performance this weekend - perhaps the performance more important than a result...

I’m worried about us going into the Mags game without a win in 6 or 7 in the league. We’re poor away from home so don’t really expect anything at Bournemouth or Leeds. That leaves Brighton at home before playing the filth…

Yes I’m struggling to see where the next win comes from, especially with the injury situation.

So why not "one more win for Leeds" would see them safe?
There's always a back-handed dig at "us".
Agree. I highlighted on the other thread.

I’m sure Gobby Gabby will be thinking I got one in subtlety there. Pretty pathetic for a a supposed professional earning a lot of tax payers money including a lot of Sunderland support. The magedia really are quite sad.
