I’m hoping we’re safe at the end of the day on Thurs May 19. If it comes down to that final Sunday, our best chance would probably be Brentford taking 3 points at home to Leeds. So, like everyone here, I’m hoping we’re safe before we play Arsenal. Brentford have serious history with Leeds. The manager wound their fans up and the Leeds players chanted songs about him when they got promoted. Brentford will be right up for it. The only issue is the Brentford captain is a big Leeds hero.

Well hopefully they realise that getting beat at Goodison on Sunday will probably relegate Leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win at the weekend it’s still in our hands and needing a Leeds team who have lost their heads to turn it around, without two very influential players.

Hafnia Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Leeds are more likely to not get any more points than we are to win either of our remaining games. Brighton visit them in the back of a seriously impressive run of results and performances… then face a Brentford team who’s crowd will be fully up for sending them down. They hate Leeds. Leeds will be down to the bare bones but as we seen from Watford that can really freshen the team up, we did the same away to Chelsea. spurs will be rampant against a depleted Burnley side, who then face Villa away and Newcastle at home. I fancy them to maybe get a result against Newcastle who will no doubt have their weird fans egging them on to relegate us if possible. Maybe Eddie Howe bring a former blue wouldn’t let that happen but then again his ego may Saying all this we have to get the job done ourselves - we can’t rely on others and that is where the anxiety comes from.

Popular Post Cornish Steve Posted May 13, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 The best athletes win because they set aside everything but their own task. I've heard it said that 100m runners, for example, are barely even aware of those in other lanes, because they see only the lane in front of them. That has to be our attitude. I'm not even looking at who other teams will be playing, and I hope our manager and players are the same. We need an attitude that is focused on our own task, not distracted by the progress/fate of others.

Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted May 13, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Christ, it really is like some of you were waiting for a negative result (even though it wasn't) so you could go all doom and gloom again. A big chunk of this forum had us already relegated weeks and weeks ago ffs and I still believed then, so I'm sure as shit not going to stop believing when we're two points clear of the relegation zone with a game in hand, have only lost once in our last 6 games, and have two of our final three league games at home.

Hafnia Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Spurs 1-0 up…. Burnley were really digging in and looked to be frustrating Spurs and they got a var penalty. hopefully it put’s Burnley’s plans of defending a 0-0 to bed and spurs stick 5 past them.
