Relegation is fkn looming....

.... maybe a bit tongue in cheek but out of the 17 games before the World Cup break begins, we will have played only 5 good teams.

Yeah, I know EVERY game in the Prem is tough but we have to beat teams like Soton, when we're 2 up, Everton at home and be able to get a point at teams like Brighton....

We'll have only played Chelscum (to totally contradict my post🙈), Arsenal, Liverpool, Spuds and Mancscum. That means we must have a very tough run in and that's without going on an inevitable bad run of 6/7 games....

We're fkn doomed if we don't get players in before tomorrow and don't learn our lesson from last season of nearly dropping to the Championship on the last day.... we haven't spent any money yet with our 2 major outgoings covering the incoming signings (apart from the wages!) 🙈

Marsch, Radz and the 69ers out....HODDLE IN 🙈🤔😉😲

Just looking for my tin hat....

FFS I penned this thread as a piiss take after we had won 2 of our opening 3 games and drawn the other and sitting in the top 3!! 🤬

We have WON the least games in the Prem with only 5 victories in 26 games.... 2 of them were against Liverpool and Chelscum!!

April is our destiny with 3 very winnable home games v Forest, Palace and Leicester and 2 winnable away games v Fulham and Bournemouth....

We still score more than 8 other teams, have a defence that lets in less than 3 other teams and a goal difference better than 6 teams as a result.

We're 4 points off 12th.

We just have to believe - there's teams in worse form than us (Palace, Leicester for example).

This is a race with 12 games to play and god knows how many twists!!!

Even the next game against Wolves is a 6-pointer. Can’t remember ever having seen half the teams in the league involved in the relegation battle, and none of the three spots already “taken”, this late in the season.

Yep it comes down to the April fixtures. Let's hope for no more injuries or rubbish VAR's . We need all the ducks to align and be as brave as lions.

A win at Wolves would be fantastic and a real bonus going in to April. Its not impossible.

Mar 10

The next 2 games matter. Beat BHA at home and Wolves away could see us 6 points clear of 18th.

Everton, Saints and Bournemouth have tough games and may not get any points

I still live in hope!!

We then move into the international break. Bamford, Luis, Rodrigo, Cooper should all be back when we return and fully firing.

Rutter will also have a further 2 weeks to get match fit.

I think it's the right mindset - tough runs come and go for different teams at different times and ours comes later, whilst some have the bad games now.

Why not do the hard yards in the next 2 games instead of getting to Spuds on the last game needing snookers - we can put our fate into our own hands with 2 good results now.

Looking at the games we have left can’t see more than 14points is that enough?

ATM any of the bottom 9 teams can be dragged into a relegation battle, thats everyone from Palace down, i fully expect by easter that will be down to 5-6 clubs.

so that for me rules Leicester, palace and possibly westham safe.

i know its easy to say but 2 wins takes massive pressure off the players / coach and with that release, good decisions on the park tend to be made also.

Look at how different the table would look if saints and wolves both lost last week (saints would be 4 points behind us and wolves would be 2 points ahead of us with a game more played).

I know we need a win, however we get it, but this weekend i would take a point now as Brighton are well worth thier 8th spot in the table and tore westham apart so we are in for a difficult 90mins.

Off the next 4 PL games i think

Brighton at home 1pt

3Pts off Wolves (AN ABSOLUTE MUST)

nothing in london at arsenal

but again 3 MUST WIN points against forest

get those 10 points and then you will see a far different complexion on our situation. (easier said than done i know but if we cant wolves and forest (at home) then i fear our PL survival would be beyond us.

But lets hope liverpool, chelsea, brentford, Spurs, city, manure, Villa and Newcastle ALL WIN that would get us up to 15th for a start.

Been waiting for that one performance that tells us the corner has been turned.

We'll be in the bottom 3 come 5pm next Saturday in all likelihood.

Michael & Gove Albion not a team we usually get much out of.

The defence is looking secure (ish)

Tyler and to a lesser degree Weston look solid (ish) if unthreatening.

The front 4 is the problem.

Harrison needs dropping

Arronson needs some spite.

Willy Jimmy George just need a goal to get a confident run started.

As below we need to be sitting favourably be end of April or ifs curtains ... and the ensuing fire sale.

When is rodders back?

More importantly when is Dallas back, the man is infectious.

13 games to go.

9 (NINE) teams separated by 6 points. This is going to be a relegation fight like no other. None of those 9 teams is safe, none of those 9 teams is definitely down.

Leeds have been down this road before, as have Everton. If we can stay in touch with this group over the next 6 games then hope springs eternal.

4 at home, 2 away and 3 of the teams around us:-

Home vs Brighton, Forest, Palace, Liverpool

Away vs Wolves, Arsenal

Yes we have a chance. April is a massive month for us with some winnable games. If we are bottom 3 at the end of April ( which I don't think we will be) then we are a goner.

Mar 02

At least Everton got spanked by Arsenal and Scousers beat Wolves.

We need to do our job on Saturday and get 3 points v Chelsea.

Yes BB, in the words of AC/DC, a win at Chelscum would make everything look a 'Whole Lotta (more) Rosie', as we could potentially move up to 13th place!

If we do get relegated (😲) does anyone know how this will affect our takeover?

Surely the 69ers won't want a team in the Championship?

Would Radz still sell us? He'd obviously get far less for us not being in the Prem....

This would literally cost us 10s of millions and probably more.

Nice positive post now that Wemberlee has vanished with only a relegation scrap to look forward to! 🤬

Rodrigo hoping to be fit before the international break in March,it was originally estimated he would be out til start of April.

if we are to stay up we will need one or more of Bamford, Rodrigo ,JH ,Jimmy, Willy, Sinisterra to hit a purple patch of scoring goals.

we have arguably more firepower than anyone in the bottom 6 or 8 on paper so hopefully Gracia can help them find their shooting boots.........if he ever gets a fkn work visa ..

"we have arguably more firepower than anyone in the bottom 6 or 8 on paper" To quote one of Cloughie's best quotes: " On paper we have a great team, unfortunately the game is played on grass". Let's hope we can prove him wrong!.

TC - I understand your comments. Played rugby union for 30 years unpaid other than "expenses" and it is only now the repercussions are becoming evident.

Even when I suffered a bad hit I was always told to get up and show no pain. Dont get why some footballers feign pain like Bruno at Manure!!!

Would I change my life? HELL NO!!! They were the best years!!!

Nothing wrong with Strukij and it was a shot, albeit a hard shot, that hit him in the head....

They just have to be more careful now because unfortunately one bloke died or nearly died from it.... that's not in the least meant to take anything away from the poor bloke.

What happens in boxing every 10 seconds when they get hit on the head with a punch?

What happens in rugby when they get tackled every minute and in the scrums etc?

What happens in MMA cage fighting!? You can carry on punching and kicking a bloke in the head whilst you have him pinned down.... fkn brutal and can't believe that's 'sport'!

If fkn namby pamby footballers didn't go down feigning injury, and then by some miracle being fine 20 seconds later, we wouldn't have this scenario in the first place....

Soopaleeds

Feb 23

Replying to

I think the reason is litigation TC10. It's not about feigning injury.

There's a longer and longer list of Rugby players now suing the governing bodies for historic injury and footballers too are dying from dementia associated with heading etc. many years ago.

If they don't take action now based on the medical evidence the game risks bankrupcy down the line. Scottish football have now banned heading in all training for example.

I think that if you play games like this you should understand the risks and sign a disclaimer like F1 drivers do, so we can all get on with it.

Like BB I was an egg chaser for a number of years and took some knocks, but I didn't know the risks of dementia then, we all do now.

I'm in the nether world between hope and acceptance.

I will feel a lot better about our chances of survival (obviously) if we beat Southampton and I don't care how we do it. That would give us a boost.

On the other hand the PL is becoming something more than about football and I don't like it very much.

For me the biggest worry is the club's financial stability - I can't bear thinking about the last time we got relegated and the mess we found ourselves in - that would be unbearable. If we have committed owners, signed up and ensuring our future then we can more easily bounce back.

Although Saturday (and the weekend generally) was terrible, I think the doom and gloom has set in a little prematurely.

I'm not particularly optimistic about our chances of survival but it's very tight at the bottom still; nearly half the table are still in the relegation mix and there are a few within 'easy' reach. For example, if Everton and Bournemouth draw and we win in the next set of fixtures, we're immediately out of the dreaded zone.

I know that seems like a big 'if', given what we saw on Saturday, but we mustn't forget how encouraged we were by the performances against Scum. Nor that fans of some of the other teams involved are no doubt also wondering where their next point is coming from, so we shouldn't be assuming that they're necessarily going to fare better - or even as well - in their remaining fixtures.

Chin up - all is not (yet) lost!

Feb 20

We will have to sell a few players - Meslier, Koch, Harrison, Gnonto, Adams, Rodrigo = about £150million

Wont get McKennie

Llorente and Costa will be gone too when their loans are made permanent.

Am sure the others will stay out of loyalty or because no other club wants them.

Still it will give a chance to Bate, Poveda, Joffy, Charlie, Gyabi, Greenwood, Perkins, Jospeh, Hjelde, Monteiro and others to step up and make a clian for a starting spot

Feb 20

This is how i see it Bull:

Saints at ER - 3 points

Chelski away - 1 point

Seagulls at ER - 1 point

Wolves away - 3 points

Arsenal Away - 0 points

Palace at ER - 3 points

Liverpool at ER - 1 point

Fulham Away - 1 point

Foxes at ER - 1 point

Boringmouth away - 3 points

City away - 0 points

Barcodes at ER - 1 point

West Ham away - 1 point

Spurs at home - 3 points

22 points there + 19 points now = 41 points which may not be good enough this year

Hope you are right BB but I can't see us getting that many points, too many variables though to really say, if we get what they call a "Manager" things could pick up. Christ I hope we beat southampton. If we do then the confidence from that could help us to a point at Chelsea, who knows.

Come on Leeds!

I dont think 41 points will be enough to stay up this season anyway. It may need 44/45 points

The bottom 3 have less than a point a game right now - it'll stay that way so 38 points will be enough IMHO. There's only been 1 Pl season where relegation was over 40 points in a 38 game season. I do hope your right BB with your points predictions.

If we cant take a point off a pliss poor Everton side where will we get a point???

Saints at ER MUST WIN

Chelski away 0

Seagulls at ER MUST WIN but lucky to get a point

Wolves away MUST WIN

Arsenal Away 0

Palace at ER again lucky to get a point

Liverpool at ER 0

Fulham Away 0

Foxes at ER MUST WIN

Boringmouth away MUST WIN

City away 0

Barcodes at ER 0

West Ham away point at best

Spurs at home "if they need to win to get into top 4" then 0

Thats 16 points at best onto 19 total 35 = Relegation.

Barring some sort of miracle we cant stay up imho

I suppose that is a good way of looking at it BB. It's just such a waste of the opportunity we had.

You never know though we might pull ourselves out of it but I can't see it happening.

The team looked completely devoid of ideas, talent, energy and confidence today. It would take one hell of a manager to come in now and make any kind of difference.
