    The 3 ****test clubs

    If like Everton to go just because they're an obstacle to our own enterprise, but I think they'll be ok.. They've started getting their better players on the pitch

    It's the same every year - GD is a massive indicator as to who goes down. Norwich (-40), Leeds (-31), Watford (-22) and Brentford (-17) are the four who will fight it out to occupy the last three spots. Ours is poor (-17) but is irrelevant because of Howe and the Jan investment which has seen us concede fewer goals this year than any other club.

    After that you look at how often the teams are getting beat - Norwich and Watford have lost 17, Brentford 15, Everton 14 and Leeds 13. This says there's a little more fight and capability at Leeds/Everton, thus Norwich, Brentford and Watford will go down.

    So that's them safe, as I said.

    I love that we’ve beaten Leeds, Everton and Brentford and dragged them into the ****e….whilst overtaking them in the process.

    Leeds appear to be in freefall, but I'd prefer to see them stay up. I'd quite like Burnley to exit the Prem, but they seem to have really pulled theirs **** together.

    I think it will be Norwich, Watford and then either Leeds or Brentford. Hopefully Brentford .

    Leeds are in freefall and they need shot of the fraud that is Bielsa.

    At the business end of the season they have shipped 20 goals in 5 games.

    In the same period we have conceded 2.

    Any other manager would have been sacked for that.

    And that’s why Leeds will go down.

    I really admire Bielsa. Thought he got Leeds playing great football last year but his inability//lack of desire to change has cost them dearly this year, when they didnt have the resources to continue playing same way. I reckon a change of manager could turn it round if the players are not too conditioned to playing the way they are.

    Norwuch seem gone already, and Watford pretty much the same. Leeds have gotta be favourites as well, they're dropping like a stone and conceding goals for fun.

    Would like Burnley to go down, but Leeds look more likely right now. Brentford also right in it at the moment.

    I’ve settled on Norwich, Brentford and Watford. I think not getting a point out of Southampton was a hammer blow for Norwich.

    It’s open though and we know a run can change things. Everton look awful but should do enough. I was looking at their fixtures and they look unkind. Leeds are insanely poor defensively. Ever since they lost Bamford defending from the front and Phillips they’ve gone to ratshit. I’d love us to sign Phillips and Bellingham however unrealistic.

    Imagine if your midfield options were Phillips, Bellingham, Bruno, Joelinton and Willock. You’d have everything.

    Burnley will probably do enough and defend well enough.

    Leeds look in even deeper trouble than I thought if the rumours of the replacement for Bielsa are true. Apparently they are bringing in a failed American coach to replace him……****ing Ted Lasso!!

    I’d be normally concerned cause of the bounce the new manager will give but Jesse Marsch will take them down, he’s a nobody who made a balls of the job at RB Leipzig
