And Leicester. Feel Leicester are still very much involved despite their slight upturn in results, will require an excellent second half of the season from us though to stay up regardless. 

Fair point! 

Still think it’s us, Bournemouth, Forest, Everton, Wolves and Leeds myself.

Not football but fucking hell the darts here

 

Absolutely incredible. Pretty gutted I got rid of Sky Sports as I love the World Championships at this time of year. And no, I'm not watching the shitty national league standard version the BBC show.

There are many, many terrible teams in the league this year, we just need to be less bad then three of them. This is our main and sadly familiar hope for salvation.

This.

Hopefully we string a few results together soon. I'm not confident though because we miss so many chances and then have brainfarts at the back.

I really don’t think there is. There are some teams who are massively underperforming, and some that are mismanaged, but we definitely have the worst in quality apart from maybe Bournemouth IMO. 

Everton and West Ham will likely change managers, and fly back up the table.

Yes sadly how I see it too.

WHU and Everton have players that will turn it around, as does Leicester and Wolves even if they are currently woefully under form.

All those teams I think are too good to go down.

Really there aren't. As it stands there aren't 3 teams clearly worse than we are. Forest, Bournemouth and us are bona fide dogshit. Everyone is clearly going to do enough to stay up. WHU, Leicester obviously fine. Wolves will do enough unless their new manager is a complete disaster. 

There's been a billion seasons where ooh-ooh-ooh Everton are going down but they won't because they won't.

Three from four for me. Us, Leeds, Forest and Bournemouth.

It’s great watching Arsenal passing into spaces. This helps to beat the first man and puts the team on the offence.

We are 100% the opposite!!

 

We don't play between the lines because there is no intelligent movement from our players - it's just basics really but way beyond our players and coaches it would seem.

Without even looking at the fixtures, I'm going to say Everton will miraculously get eleven points from five games in April and beat a couple of top six teams, to pull themselves clear. Jammy buggers always weasle out of it.

I really can't see beyond Saints, Forest and Bournemouth for the drop. Leeds and Wolves will hover but ultimately survive IMO.

Newcastle showing massive levels of shithousery to get a point at Arsenal, god i hate them.

I remember "Eddie Howe's Newcastle" and indeed "Eddie Howe's Bournemouth" employing the same time-wasting tactics against us in recent times. So perhaps it should now be officially known as "EDDIE SHIT-HOWE-SERY".

Isn't it always the way with Everton. They'll make a couple of purchases in January and will squeeze over the line. They are the 'fags' for the top 6.

The only light I can see is if Saints pick up a win or two. Suddenly we're contenders and a little bit of panic sets in amongst the others. That will draw Leeds and Wolves into the mire and they aren't strong.

That's a very small light obviously.

Quite a few neutrals on social media seem to think Saints will be ok this season and stay up.

I’m guessing these people haven’t watched many performances. 🤣

They don't know quite the level of shit we're in do they. They've looked at the table and see a win or two gets us out of it; Southampton perennial relegation escapees.

They'll see the light soon enough.

Just watched the Everton v Brighton highlights. Wow, Everton are so poor. 

Brighton, calm, composed, patient and organised. Every goal that they scored could’ve been avoided 😅

Lampard’s got to be on the edge now.

BBC’s online rolling thread seems to think that giving Lampard the Tin-Tac will achieve nothing - as the revolving doors of managers since Moyes left has seen a hotch potch of players following them through the doors, leaving them with a pickle of a squad. Getting a new Johnny in will just perpetuate that cycle.

Everton's next league game is against... yup you guessed it. We'll roll over for them.

This could be the year we actually beat them at Goodison and they go down. I know, I know

Christmas port not completely run out yet? Win, at Goodison. Imagine that happening, this season, of all seasons.
