Brighton are ****ed beyond help now. Surely Cardiff will pick up 3 points from Palace/Fulham. Ah, this really is a lovely relegation battle this year, by the way. Like dining in a fine restaurant. Last year was cheesy beans on toast.
I have been thinking along the same lines. Brighton have lost their last four games now. The statistics and running text commentary last night was suggestive that they were the better team. Brighton have been lucky that some bad refereeing decisions cost Cardiff points against Chelsea and Burnley and I don't think that they deserved to lose either of those games. You can never write Warnock off. There seems to be a degree of momentum with Cardiff whereas Brighton's recent form and following fixtures would make worrying reading if you were a fan. Brighton's run in is frightening. I can only imagine them getting anything against Newcastle and on present form even that looks unlikely. As Wolves showed last week, they are a really good footballing team and should brush Brighton aside on current form on Saturday. I give Brighton no chance against Man City, Arsenal or Spurs. You could predict a situation where they would still be likely to finish below us on goal difference if we did not pick up any further points. The Cardiff v Palace match will be interesting. I am not convinced that this can be safely predicted. I still think Hodgson has made Palace difficult to play against.
Perfect result for you last night. We got our nice win at the weekend, and Cardiff have kept the excitement alive. The run in still has some twists to come.
Just hope Cardiff aren't just being tortured before the inevitable. Brighton still have an advantage of a couple of points, so Cardiff have to get one win more than they do. Never easy. There may not be many points earned by either team before the end of the season, but Brighton only need a lucky break and the situation gets harder.
Sometimes you have to make your own luck, and they don't look capable of much at the present moment. And that sending off, it could not have been at a worse moment could it!
Wouldn't rule that out, if they think he's not staying past the end of the season then might as well be gone now, if they can replace him with someone.
There's been a few in the last couple of games. You might be thinking of Mancini at Man City. Also...Hughton, at Norwich, 5 games before the end of the season (they went down).
There are always candidates for managers' jobs...however it all depends on which league you are in. Horses for courses. If you stay up Warnock should keep his job....worked out for us with Hughes
Great game despite finishing 1-0. Both sides gave absolutely everything. City back on top, come on Cardiff, a draw would be good!
