Zoo 2.0 Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 94 minutes gone in the Leicester game and they currently lead Leeds by a goal to nil, if they can hold our for a touch longer Leeds will be two points ahead of us but with three extra games played (as have Brentford). Could be a massive win if we take full points from Spurs. Edit: One point indeed Mike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Glad to see Leeds lose, but as an American, feel for Marsch. Although I don't think he's doing the "Ted Lasso" image any favors by rounding up the entire squad on the pitch after the game and giving a speech where I heard something along the lines of "if you play with that kind of heart..."

They would have expected to lose against Chelsea, but good to see that they're being absolutely mauled. Will hopefully derail that bit of momentum that they'd built up in the past few weeks. Good to see Norwich getting battered too, the most winnable game they'll have for a long time and they've had their pants pulled down.

I would have quite liked to have seen Brentford get dragged into it further. I think Norwich will go down regardless but that was a big 3 points for Brenford moving them 6 points from relegation (albeit having played the most games - 4 more than us!).

My ideal world is Watford, Norwich and Burnley going down I'd snap your hand off for 17th, I think without my Everton panicking head that yes Watford and Norwich are going down. The latter is a tinpot yo-yo club that simply exists to win the Championship and come 20th in the next season, Watford probably could have escaped the drop but they've had no bounce at all from the appointment of Roy Hodgson, so think they'll probably limp to a 19th placed finish. 18th is a bit up for grabs but I'm hoping that Burnley can go back to being shit and hope that Marsch can have no impact at Leeds United, keeping up their new found tradition of getting battered every week (sorry you US lot). Brentford I don't think are totally out of the question - yes they're now 6 points ahead but apart from beating what is a terrible Norwich side, they've looked pretty poor themselves. They've played about 6,482 games more than everybody else and are still in poor form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwlad Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 The Canaries’ two-decade rollercoaster ride continues with another promotion. Here is their fate since the start of the 2003-04 season: 2003-04: Win Division 1 to gain Premier League status for first time since 1994-95. 2004-05: Relegated to Championship 2008-09: Relegated to League One 2009-10: Promoted to Championship 2010-11: Promoted to Premier League 2013-14: Relegated to Championship 2014-15: Promoted to Premier League 2015-16: Relegated to Championship 2018-19: Promoted to Premier League 2019-20: Relegated to Championship 2020-21: Promoted to Premier League It must be a hoot being a Norwich supporter with all those promotions to celebrate. dunlopp9987 and Bailey 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 If we get a point or 3 vs Spurs and then the games against Newcastle and Wolves we get max points we will be pretty safe.
