    Lots of predictions, lots of permutation's, lots of different views on here, so what’s your 3 to go down? and why?
    Mine are :-
    Norwich….Smith deserves to go down.
    Watford….Woy will then finally pack it in.
    Brentford…. There manager thinks he is better than he is, bring him down to earth

    So long as Burnley do and we don't I don't care about the other 2 but looking like Watford and Norwich.

    Burnley, Brentford and Watford.

    I don't like Burnley or Dyche and then the other two are sort of London so that helps us.

    As per Eric - Norwich have the odd flash of good play and some handy players. The others are filled with dross.

    Burnley have too much to do.

    Watford are pretty much done for unless Roy can somehow turn a miracle.

    Unfortunately it looks like Brentford, Norwich or us for the last spot. I feel like we are the better of the three but with the luck we are having with injuries, form and bad decisions I feel it's a pretty much even fight to the end.

    Newcastle have bought their way out of trouble and if Everton put in the effort they did last week until the end of the season they will be fine.

    I can't really see the bottom three changing if I'm completely honest, but if we are to make progress and try to keep our best players, we need to be moving in the right direction. We would have needed a head start by now (of a few decent signings) if we are even going for a top half finish next season. The holes are plain to see

    bottom three won't get 30 points, Brentford only need three more wins and are capable of turning it on again but something's gone wrong ... it may be that the pace of the Prem has caught up with them

    Burnley look done, no creativity and hoofball not working, they look stale and spent ... Watford aren't going to be a creative force under Hodgson, rather looking to keep it tight and nick a goal, not a good policy when draws won't do anymore ... Norwich can see Brentford dropping like a stone, it's given them something to aim for at least, so they still have a little bit of fight left

    Leeds? three more wins, that's all

    I've already nailed my flag to the mast in yesterdays Breakfast thread, so I will stick with what I said in there.

    Watford, Burnley and Brentford will be relegated, Norwich to survive by one point

    The league table never lies and the 3 at the bottom are my choice.
    Just looked at their next 5 fixtures and I can't see any of them picking up many points.
    End of the day if any of Norwich,Burnley,Watford get above us we deserve to go down simple as that.

    Todays results affect us so let's see what happens. Inly need clubs below to start getting draws and our fixtures look bad. But tomorrow high winds are due again in Leeds so maybe it will affect the result.

    Or...we deserve to stay up.

    We've had a horrendous run of injuries, we play open exciting football, we don't cheat, dive, time waste or moan afterwards about var/ref decisions. In addition to all of that before xmas we played games with kids in the team and a bench full of even younger kids when other PL teams called matches off for a whole myriad of spurious reasons.

    All in the past and to survive i suggest we start falling over in the box. The British sense of fair play old sport disappeared up the Khyber pass a long time ago. Look at the euros against Italy we should have kicked the krap out of them. Klich is one player we have who sticks a boot in and stops the oppos flow. We need more of that v man utd. I would not care if we went full on Tom Daley and got ten bookings don revie style on top. I can't stand that smirking pretty boy Ronaldo and want him crippled. Never mind the the pretty stuff which we play let's have the battle of Elland Road.

    Agree Jammy but shouldn't we have tried to change that in the Jan window? I've said all season we haven't started its been stop start. I believe a fully fit squad would keep us up but we haven't had that. yes I agree overall we would deserve to stay up on teams we have fielded but really should we be in that position? We have taken a massive gamble on trying to get to the end of the season with the situation we are in and bodies are still dropping.

    We're never going to play like that under Bielsa so you're going to be disappointed wakey.

    However we can win the game if we play at our best.


















    Spoler; we didn't and lost.

    Don't dive? Have you not been watching Ayling the last few years. Whenever he's in a tight spot it's a face plant into the grass.
