'Not great' will probably get us over the line though- any upturn in form and it will be comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible round of results for us, with everyone from Burnley up to Spurs winning around us. Though our fixtures to the end of the season are very favourable. Aren't you pretty mediocre results wise against " favourable " teams though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post notnow john Posted 17 February 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 17 February 2020 I'm not a big conspiracy theory person but The officials are making it even me question. Willian booked for a dive when he's clearly fouled. Maguire should have gone for studing Batchuyie No punishment for Martial elbowing Christiansen. Chelsea goal disallowed for pushing, ref and var ignoring Utd.domino push Fernandes not booked for a high boot to the head.(see Madison v Wolves) Good result for us but that was a bit smelly! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScouseFox Posted 17 February 2020 Share Posted 17 February 2020 43 minutes ago, Nod.E said: STOP PANICKING Our form in 2020: 8 points in 6 = 1.33 per game = 16 more points = 66 total points (67 required to catch due to GD) Bearing in mind it's this form which our fans are calling the pits and therefore, you'd think, as bad as it can get for us. Therefore to finish above us, the teams behind us will need at least: Chelsea: 26 - 2.16ppg Spurs: 27 - 2.25ppg Sheff Utd: 28 - 2.33ppg Man U: 29 - 2.42ppg 2.25 PPG form would be 58/59 points so far this season. Basically top of league form save for Liverpool's ridiculous form. The form in 2020 of these teams? Chelsea: 6 from 6 = 1ppg Spurs: 10 from 6 = 1.66ppg Sheff Utd: 10 from 6 = 1.66ppg Man U: 7 from 6 = 1.16ppg Not QUITE top of league form. Even if we only get 1 point per game (which won't happen, obviously), the teams below us would STILL NEED: Chelsea: 22 - 1.82ppg Spurs: 23 - 1.91ppf Sheff Utd: 24 - 2ppg Man U: 25 - 2.08ppg And we'd need two of those teams to do that. 3 if 5th does it for us because of Man City. Just enjoy it and stop panicking. There's a reason Bet365 has us at 1.05 to finish top 4. When you're putting £100 on to win £5, it's basically happening. I'll say it again. CHILL. OUT. yeah it all looks this easy but it ain't, is it. the bookies (and most realistic people) also expect that by the end of next weekend, the table will look something like us, 50 chelsea, 44/42/41 spurs, 43/41/40 sheff u, 42 united, 41 wolves, 39 and all of a fu cking sudden we are one bad result away from being catchable. that's a shit ton of pressure on our "easy home games" which we have been rubbish at, more or less entirely, for about 4 years. we have no ndidi, vardy has forgotten how to score, our midfielders have forgotten vardy even plays for us, and that 14 point cushion from a few weeks back is going to have been halved in no time at all, so there is definitely still time for it to be completely obliterated. i still think we will get into the champions league through the incompetence of everyone else, because i ain't sure we're gonna win enough games to pull away from the pack again.

DerbyshireFox Posted 17 February 2020 Share Posted 17 February 2020 1 hour ago, Cardiff_Fox said: I don’t think that’s a bad result for us at all. Cant see Man U sustaining a run of victories. These games suit them but playing ‘lesser’ opposition doesn’t. Chelsea look broken and about to be swallowed by the pack. Spurs and Wolves for them next. Be good if they drew with Spurs I thought that too, but it’s the last game of the season at Stamford Bridge - could be very interesting that one. Chelsea’s next four are Spurs (h), Bayern (h), Bournemouth (a), Everton (h). They’ve still got to go to Liverpool, host Man City, and go to Sheffield United, as well as the return leg at Bayern.

Gerard Posted 18 February 2020 Share Posted 18 February 2020 1 hour ago, st albans fox said: Chill ... No one is panicking but there are a few nuggets on here who think we're all but home and hosed. A horrible scenario for me would be to go into the last two games of the season 5pts ahead of both Tottenham and Man Utd seems as those two are our last two fixtures. For that to happen Tottenham only need to accumulate 5pts in the next 10 games more than us and Man Utd need 7pts more than us in the next 10 games. We're in a fantastic position and better than anyone could have dreamed of at the start of the season but now is the time to work hard and get some points on the board and not to "chill". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 18 February 2020 Share Posted 18 February 2020 Lampard said the Kante injury doesn't look good, which as sad as it is, is good news for us. If he misses 3 or 4 games, that could cost them vital points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviewed in like 10 seconds and told the on field ref to resume play. Certain refs are just shite and become even shiter when put behind a monitor. Yea I remember this... was it Taggart in the 4-1 win? Remember the tackle clearly meriting a red card and I didn’t even think it was reviewed! I was seething at the time because I felt it could have seriously injured Ricky! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They players and management need to work hard - not panic ...... but my ‘chill’ comment is aimed at those supporters who seem to be overly worried. It’s way too early for that and this fan mindset would not be good for the home games if widely held 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 18 February 2020 Share Posted 18 February 2020 Man Utd’s next four League fixtures Watford H Everton A Man C. H Spurs. A Watford could cause an upset and the 3 games after are incredibly difficult, I can’t see them being any nearer than 10 points behind us with 8 to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still handy for us I suppose, so many teams involved in the pack below, taking points from each other can only help in the longer term. We should have enough in our locker to finish the job, but it certainly doesn’t hurt having those below taking points off one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
