    I was going to write they look the worst team in the league. But they just lost to the bottom team. No point stating the obvious.

    Home to Brighton midweek, could be in real trouble if they lose that one.

    So since a somewhat surprise 1-0 win at Chelsea:

    0-1 loss to Burnley
    1-1 draw with Arsenal
    0-2 loss to Brighton
    0-4 loss to West Ham
    0-3 loss to Watford
    0-1 loss to Norwich

    Successive home games against Brighton and Villa next, followed by successive away games to Sheff Utd and Burnley.

    After that though, their final 11 games include Chelsea, Liverpool, Wolves (away), Man Utd, Spurs, Leicester, Man City and Everton (away).

    1 goal in 6 games, mostly against teams around them, is shocking.

    And it's deeper than not scoring. I don't know about today, but in those other four blanks they have barely created a thing. Completely impotent.

    At least someone like Norwich is creating (but generally missing).

    Its a strange drop off. And once the line has you in its grasp, the task almost gets too mentally tough. They are in real danger of finishing bottom.
    'Arry has been rather quiet recently, hasn't he?

    It will be a shame if they go and have nothing really to show for it. Don't think they even own their ground do they?

    Cooks save! <laugh> As he was doing it I could hear that old fashioned commentary;
    'WHAT A SAVE.'
    Classic. He should have rolled around on the deck pretending it hit him in the face, then it would have been a 10/10.

    For fun and to cheer me up, I just popped over to read the Bournemouth 'vital football.co.uk' forum.

    Funny stuff. Definitely no positivity there.

    They are talking about in a couple of years the buckets would come out to save the club again. Sorry Bompey, nothing from us this time...you reap what you sow.

    That was a great save by Cook though. At least they've got some competition at GK for next season in the Championship <whistle>

    I personally don't have anything against Bmouth.

    But equally, I'll have no sympathy for them if they get relegated with nothing to show for it other than the memories. If they would rather waste millions on the likes of Ibe, Smith and Solanke (just because they just so happen to have been rated by Liverpool or Chelsea as youth players), rather than invest in a decent stadium, well that's their choice. Live with it.

    Are they finally realising that they're in the relegation fight?

    Not a good last 10 days for Leicester.

    Pretty clear that Leicester might want to stop leaving out Tielemans. Or at least find a way to manage his workload better. He's so important to them.

    The only side between 13th and 19th to win this weekend. Absolutely massive weekend for them.
