    I don't think they'll go down because I don't see forest or Leeds getting another point but Everton are capable of getting a win at home to Bournemouth.

    We had to drop down to League One to do it ... bit different this time, if we survive we will be shipping quite a few older players out - which I think will be good for the club, because all the uncertainty over transfers and contracts running down this season has been incredibly disruptive ..

    On the evidence of last night you might need to do it again. There's no strength in that team and the defence is atrocious.

    Forest could comfortably win their next two games.

    Two of the bottom 3 will be decided on the last day I reckon.

    Jonny Evans and Ryan Bertrand are close to full fitness ...as is James Justin ... unfortunately JJ can't play again this season as Brenda decided to leave him out of the Premiership squad <doh>

    Hopefully they do but I fully expect Everton will stay up.

    Forest haven't 'won comfortably' all season ... and I can't see them doing that at Chelsea... also think Saints could easily get something at the City ground on Monday ...

    Can also see us getting something at Fulham on Monday ...

    Big Sam at Leeds might shake things up ... but their remaining fixtures are very tough indeed; none more so than next up at the Champions elect ...

    What makes you so confident of getting something from Fulham? They gave City a good go last weekend and they beat you lot at the KP.

    To be honest, I can see us getting something against Arsenal (what with their dejection at losing the league) and then ballsing it up against Forest <laugh>
    That is if our players remember where the goal is.

    Big Sam at Leeds will be interesting.

    Expect us to have the worst GD of the bottom 5, come 5pm Saturday.
    Really really expecting an embarrassing scoreline, not that recent results haven't been but this will be a big one. Folk saying he may rest a couple for the CL semi but doesn't matter one bit, everyone on that bench is better than we have in the starting 11

    May keep it down to 7 then.
    At least we may get a point a piece against West Ham and Spurs now. <wah>

    It would be a step down if you had Stalin in charge.

    but better than Marsch.

    On a serious note, much like we should have kept Tuchel, you guys shouldnt have sacked Bielsa.
    He was a decent manager and after getting you back in the PL after a 15 year absence, or whatever it was, he should have kept the job, even if you got relegated imo and there is a reason that most of the other big European managers speak so highly of him, like Pep.
