Lord Duckhunter Posted 29 December, 2018 Share Posted 29 December, 2018 If we can stay out of the bottom 3 after Chelsea, I’ll take that every day of the week. Fulham winning leaves Huddersfield can’t get above us by then, and Fulham are at Arsenal next. Burnley have West Ham, who if they play like they did Thursday will do them, they then can’t be above us unless they stuff Huddersfield in their next game. After Chelsea everyone will have played everyone once and 2 teams twice. The 2 teams we’ve played twice will be City and Chelsea. Surely we can stay above Fulham, Burnley and Huddersfield for the remaining fixtures. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment things go against us the doom and gloom merchants spout shyte like this. Anyone who thought that our two wins on the bounce represented ‘the swallow that made the summer’ is just deluded. I reckon we’ll be back in the bottom three at some stage, how the f**k are some of you going to cope with that? This season is about salvaging what’s left ie half a season. Hopefully it will end with us being safe, but it might not. Anything from the next two games is a bonus and again we might well end with us getting no points from nine, again how will you cope with that?

SNSUN Posted 29 December, 2018 Share Posted 29 December, 2018 Beat City tomorrow, and we are only 10 points behind Leicester in 8th. OK, tongue in cheek, but this League is still very close outside the top 6. A few wins against teams around us by the end of February, and a few Hassenhuttl transfer gems in January, and we could well be looking to finish in the top 10 come the end of the season. (Though in the most recent table I did, I have us as finishing 13th.) As for relegation I still think it's Huddersfield, Cardiff and one other...possibly Burnley or Newcastle or someone slipping like Bournemouth. Relegation shouldn't be our concern long term.

Not getting into top 6 = failure. But who in place of exactly? Liverpool, City and Spurs are pretty much always in the top 6. Chelsea, Arsenal and Utd are pretty much always in the top 6. Brighton away is no easy game as we well know. In fact they have only lost to Spurs and Chelsea at home all season. 4 of their last 5 away games were against City, Liverpool, Utd and Chelsea. Not many clubs below the top 6 will be getting points from those fixtures. If they want to be a top 6 club they have to spend a mega amount on world class players and a world class manager. They have done neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 29 December, 2018 Share Posted 29 December, 2018 just saw big Leslie going ballistic in the Kop end £30m for Mane joke ranges between £30-£38.5 million tbf, depends on your agenda really if you take the lower amount. https://www.transfermarkt.com/sadio-mane/transfers/spieler/200512/transfer_id/1516746 ^ your favourite website has it as 41.2 million euros, so around £37m. me personally, think we got £34m rising to £38.5m which I believe it will given the goals/appearances he has made for them by now, including the fact he scored in a CL final for them and they may very well win the league. I honestly don't think we could have got much more for him (at a push £40m), it was early summer 2016 before Pogba's transfers, and not to forget he only had 2 years left on his contract. i'm pretty sure he was still the 3rd or 4th highest paid transfer that summer anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 29 December, 2018 Share Posted 29 December, 2018 (edited) That award of a penalty makes the decision when Bednarek was wrestled to the floor on Thursday even more galling! Adds to the futility of being a small club in the Premier. Even if we could spend like the Man Citys, we rarely get decisions like that (yes I know Redmond handled the goal the other night).
