Arsenal have also been crap this season compared to the past two.

In fairness, though, Forest have absolutely zero chance of winning the title.

Interesting to see that whilst Ipswich have been beaten 4-0 today, they've still only conceded 15 shots on their goal. Still can't understand why we are regularly conceding 25+ on ours. It's ridiculous. Can only think the midfield structure is not right as we do seem to let teams have a lot of free shots from the edge of the box.

5-0 toon

Exactly. This is why I'm calling for a diamond low block for months now.

Newcastle lead 5-0

[Tuna]

Extremely damaging defeat for Ipswich, their goal difference has been smashed

[FoxTimmy2]

The main difference between Ipswich, Wolves, and us is that we've got a far better goalkeeper.

[FrankieADZ]

offside, but 4-0 toon win

 

just hope we can take advantage tomorrow

We can’t keep the ball.

i guess we are more than happy to let them have shots, and that stat is a massively misleading one at times imo, pretty sure brentford have had more shots against than us this season

You don't need years to go on a huge shift up the table btw. See Newcastle, Forest etc.

 

It's quite clear we should just break PSR in January. Anything and everything to stay in the league and if all else fails, we'll have stockpiled options in the Championship because no doubt we'll have transfer embargoes/points deductions next year.

 

Breaking the rules pays off👍 See Forest/Everton.

Your comment perfectly illustrates how Mads Hermansen has been the difference for us.

Win tomorrow would be huge 

[RonnieTodger]

What a mental season. Hideous seeing Forest third at Christmas.

They are doomed no matter who takes over

[Bilo]

Saints are just prepping for the Championship. If they can go down with their heads held high, they can do well next season. If they're Derby bad, it'll destroy their confidence so badly it could be years before we see them in the Prem again.

They've already got two 0-9's to their name, beating Derby's record would complete the holy trinity of humiliation.

It would be extremely funny. I'm relieved they've been as bad as they have because it means that there are effectively only two drop spots in play.

If they go down with 10 points or fewer after two 0-9 defeats in successive seasons, they should be permanently banned from the Premier League for their own good.

We probably have the worst midfield in the division.  Highlights dont show this, watch full matches and stay focused on "all" of the play that happens.
