It’s potty to think that Luton town could be in the premier league and we’re in the championship. World is a crazy place. But fair play Luton! They’ve been in great form this season. 

I remember Luton in the top flight under Pleat with us languishing in div 2. Ah back in the day........

Can see one of Forest or Everton getting 2 wins out of their 4, so means we have to. 

If only one of Everton or Forest wins 2 out of 4 then we won't need 2 wins unless Leeds also win 2 out of 4. 

[Number 6]

I reckon they'd have played better if relegation was possible but Chelsea do look completely checked out. Whilst they're not gonna be close to going down, the final table could have them looking close in terms of the final points tally.

Have you seen Forest's fixtures?

That’s an urban myth based on an episode of Terry And June. 

 

MEDFOOOOORD!

 

 

Yes, Sir ?

Last game Chelsea won was Mar 11 against us!!!

 

 

[AKCJ]

I think 4 points would keep us up with it effectively being 5 given our goal difference.

 

Trouble is that if there are two freak results then we're struggling.

 

GW 35

Man City vs Leeds

Fulham vs Leicester

Brighton vs Everton

Forest vs Southampton

In this week I think it's only really Forest that is likely to win their game.

 

GW 36

Leeds vs Newcastle

Chelsea vs Forest

Southampton vs Fulham

Everton vs Man City

Leicester vs Liverpool

I'd say that none of us would go into these games as favourite.

 

GW 37

Wolves vs Everton

Forest vs Arsenal

West Ham vs Leeds

Brighton vs Southampton

Newcastle vs Leicester

Another week where i'd say no team is worth backing.

 

GW 38

Palace vs Forest

Everton vs Bournemouth

Leeds vs Spurs

Leicester vs West Ham

Southampton vs Liverpool

I'd say that Everton and Leicester would be favourites to win their games.

 

I think going into the final day Southampton will already be relegated and then I think it would depend on who wins their games out of the other 4.

 

As I say though, it all depends on picking up a freak result. Taking points from Newcastle and Liverpool would be absolutely massive.

Sadly I think Forest are worth backing. As I think Man City will have the title wrapped up. 

 

And if this is the case, it's almost certain to mean we have to win vs West Ham if we're not picking up anything before then...

I also think 4 points will be enough.

Forest could easily get something from the Chelsea game. Unless Chelsea break their bad run at Bournemouth

They have the worst form in the league at the moment even bottom club Southampton are above them on the form table.

[UniFox21]

With how badly Barca are currently run, is this a good coup? Obviously they'll be good people in a bad machine, but surely DoF would have a big role in everything?

[kushiro]

Allardyce joining Leeds but his old sidekick Sammy Lee can't join him as he's on jury service. 

 

Great story. 

 

If Sammy Lee were in the film 12 Angry Men, which one would he be?

 

I'd go for this one:

 

 

He was one of the good guys, wasn't he?

Big Sam doing interviews saying he has the job and Gracia not even sacked yet.

 

Grubby, disrespectful stuff.

[Tuna]

Only once I think has a team changed managers this late in the season when Norwich sacked Hughton and replaced him with Neil Adams with a few games left and they went down, I think they were in a worse position than Leeds though at the time!

I hope this is the worst appointment any PL team has made.

Bit disrespectful to Garcia on Big Sam's part surely he'd show bit of respect by saying "well at least tell your manager that he's sacked before I sign"

This guy has the energy of Unai Emery 

 

 

 

And this guy is Sean Dyche

Sam could be in charge for 25 days...beats Cloughie's 44 !

Sums the club up tbh.

 

Obvs Gracia will have known but to announce it officially after Talksport aired the interview is embarrassing. Again. 

 

You guys have a lot to be thankful for you know.

[bovril]

Struggling to think of a more clownish PL season than this one

[bovril]

Rodgers, Parker, Lampard, Jones, Potter, Hodgson, Lampard again, Dyche, Big Sam, Deano... we really have run the gamut of crap Brit managers this season. 

[Leicesterpool]

I want Leeds to go down more than ever hate the thought of Sam getting huge sum bonus the guy should have banned from football after unearthed video while he was England manager.

£3m apparently if he keeps them up
