I’m hoping for top 4 and a full King Power for the Champions League group stages in September. Maybe that’s a pipe dream too. Man City and Man Utd for me. Winning the title, even in this season, would certainly not be hollow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbury Fox Posted 3 February 2021 Share Posted 3 February 2021 (edited) West Ham's next two games are Fulham and Sheff U. They could easily be ahead of us after those 2 games, given we've got Wolves away and Liverpool at home.

UniFox21 Posted 3 February 2021 Share Posted 3 February 2021 Jake Humphrey waxing lyrical about Brighton sticking to their plan when it looked poor with Potter is such a stupid line. I assume he has barely watched Brighton, as at times they've been absolutely awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 3 February 2021 Share Posted 3 February 2021 (edited) Lingards had a good rest the for afew years and done f all in games for Man U so really is fresh like he's making his season debut Edited 3 February 2021 by CrispinLA in Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham are a real threat to the top four. I don't think they're a threat to the top four. They'll hit a rough patch and it'll take Moyes time to calm stuff back down and progress by which point the top four will be gone. They've also had a relatively easy run, the big-ish teams they have met they've lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goober Posted 3 February 2021 Share Posted 3 February 2021 Lingard looked the best player on the park before he even scored. Weird one that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 3 February 2021 Share Posted 3 February 2021 Bottom 3 stays as it is for me now, Newcastle will scrape a couple of wins and a couple of draws to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is half me winding up my mate who's a massive Toon fan but they could go all this month without a win. Depending how Southampton bounce back. ManU, Chelsea, Wolves. It would only need 7 points for Fulham to be right in it and pull them into the relegation danger-zone.... danger-zone. Plus they have a game in hand. I don't want to see them go down tbh (just their endless moping does my head in) but I'd happily spend a couple of weekends listening to 606 as NUFC fans phone in berating Bruce while Sutton/Savage endlessly make excuses for their mate.

Corky Posted 3 February 2021 Share Posted 3 February 2021 These are the results that demoralise the strugglers. They'd be looking at Brighton playing Tottenham and Liverpool and thinking they might get one point at most. To get six is a huge blow. That draw between West Brom and Fulham, plus Fulham's two draws with Brighton, have made their task so much harder. I can't see any of the bottom three doing enough to stay up from here.

Wolves, Newcastle, Burnley and even Southampton. It would only take one of them to go on an absolutely shocking run of form and Sheffield United to pick up 4 or 5 wins and all of a sudden it’s anything to play for. As I say unlikely but it’s the most likely scenario I can see of one of the bottom three getting out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've all seen stranger things happen!! From my Sheff Utd supporting friend "In 1990-91 we had 4 points after 16 games and eventually finished 13th (obviously no one ever mentions that because football only began in 1992)" So he hasn't given up hope.

whitlock Posted 3 February 2021 Share Posted 3 February 2021 Lingard is a good signing for West Ham, didn’t do it for us when on loan but has delivered some good performances for Yanited. Gets bad press, deservedly so for his cringey dancing celebrations and hand shakes but he’s a good player. Love that WHU are doing well and challenging the top 6, anything to help ruin Sky’s ‘top 6’ agenda is fine by me ( as long as finish below us!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 3 February 2021 Share Posted 3 February 2021 Nice to see Lingard play well and pick up a couple of goals, but my god Martinez absolutely flapped for both 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't go beyond our success in 2014/2015 and as such never write anything off as impossible. TBH I would love for Sheff Utd to pull it out of the bag. They were a breath of fresh air last season. Hard yards this season but at least they're now pulling together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
