Well, Leicester are still top despite losing today, as Arsenal have just been trounced 4-0 by Saints!!!! The matches on Monday/Tuesday are going to be MASSIVE!!!!
So angry. I can usually guess a manager for a role. Slavisa Jokanovic For Fulham. What a capture!! I never would have thought of that! And I don't know why! That would be such a great Championship signing.
I've updated it to only show the teams in the bottom 5 for the next 5 games . '6 pointers' I've highlighted in yellow!! I think by the end of next month, we'll have a pretty good idea if we (or any of the other teams) have any chance of pulling away from the relegation zone. I think all the teams have some tough fixtures ahead.
Personally, I think Bournemouth and even West Brom are right in the mix. Brom got a decent result today, but it wasn't convincing and they could still get dragged into the battle. If we'd beaten them shortly after we had in the Cup we would exchange positions in the table.
OK Rob - I stand corrected re Bournemouth and after today's result they are indeed below us. Our game against them on Jan 16th now becomes a '6 pointer!!!'
Having suffered from the Black Cat Houdini stuff and their other exploits over recent seasons I will not count them as down until they are mathematically. Like I said recently, if Villa lose to both us and Sunderland then I think they have had it and they are half way through that sequence. As for the rest, it is a case of picking up a point a game and try to ensure that you are in the mix for the final run in. There are at least 6 teams in that possible shake up, looks to be an interesting season.
It's got to the stage where (within reason) we could actually do with villa winning one or two of their games against the clubs in and around us
Villa are gone now in my opinion. They were a weak team that had 2 really good players last season. Now they are a weak team with an additional load of really average players. Simply not good enough. Sunderland haven't looked like they have much fight in them since those wins just after Big Sam took over.
I was thinking that but after watching them yesterday I think they maybe the worst team to ever play in the PL. They're almost an irrelevance at this point.
