The Relegation Thread

Level then, I reckon Pogba can beat him.

 

[mistermagic]

Pulis is a c*** though.

1) Does it matter?
2) Why?

1) Does it matter?

Nothing matters.

2) Why?

He conducts his press conferences standing up.

 

[mistermagic]

You still doing stand-ups Matthew?

 

[DarkSithLord]

Think the current bottom 3 will be the 3 to drop.

Anybody disagree?

 

[Benji]

I think Hull might catch Palace, but Sunderland and Boro are both going down.

Yeah think Palace will be ok with the Big Sam effect byt if Hull are going to catch anyone it will be Bournemouth

Sadly, no.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

A point yesterday a welcome and unexpected relief. Showed character and heart, as well as enjoying a bit of rare luck. It might be a kick start for us.

Home games against West Ham and Swansea up next.

 

[The Mustard Tiger]

Would anyone miss Middlesbrough if they do go down? No offence to their fans at all, but what a dull team. I don't like Karanka anyway. He's a petulant git who makes Big Sam's teams look like the second coming of the Netherlands circa the 1970s.

Couldnt agree more. Like I said in another thread they have contributed nothing to the PL.

It seems that signing Villa rejects may not work in the Premier League. This shocks me, really does...

Marc Albrighton disagrees.

You have one, Boro have 3!

 

[Super_horns]

Silva worried about the rugby/football teams sharing Hull's pitch but tbf they've done pretty well at home in recent weeks!

[AFCB_Mark]

Wasn't the whole project of building that stadium and giving it to Hull City to move into for peanuts, based on it being a multi sport venue for the City's teams. It's not Hull City AFC's decision as to whether the rugby side use it or not?

I may be talking bollocks so feel free to correct me. Just my understanding.

 

[Super_horns]

I think it is council owned....

 

[OllieMorris]

Hull City, Middlesbrough and Sunderland

I think Crystal Palace are still unsure they're safe from the relegation zone though.

 

[Super_horns]

Boro manager gone..

Need a manager who can get them to score goals but hopefully not at our expense!

 

[HarrogateMackem]

Can we just end it all yet?

 

[Super_horns]

0-0 in Swansea v Boro would be the ideal score line for everyone else but not the 2 teams involved.

 

[Humongous Fungus]

You have one, Boro have 3!

They also weren't rejects, they got first team premier league guaranteed by leaving us.

 

[You Orns]

Surely that's us safe now.

Played well, defended brilliantly when down to 10 men and the best atmosphere at the vic for god knows how long.

West Brom an awfully dirty team.

If hull win tommorow I think everyone from Burnley down is still catchable, but realistically it's hull, Swansea or palace. Part of me would love if West Ham were caught up in it though.

 

[Super_horns]

On tonght's form we'd hope to beat Swansea and get something at Hull which would be enough for certain..

Knowing us we'll go to Spurs and win or beat Liverpool on the box at home (again)!

West Ham play Swansea on Saturday - big game potentially as all the pressure will be on the Hammers and they have a really tough run in I think (Liverpool/Spurs and Everton at home plus Burnley away..)

 

[JimJams]

Ok, just gonna step out of this thread now...

 

[Pagnell]

A shame. After the sacking of Ranieri I'd love to have seen Leicester go down but it can't be said to have been the wrong decision. Cuntish, perhaps, but it's definitely been shown to have been right for the club.

 

[JimJams]

Not really cuntish when its completely vindicated.
Certainly a shame Ranieri had to go. Top man.

 

[Pagnell]

Cuntish in terms of what he did last season only to be dropped when trouble showed itself the following campaign I mean.

Also, I still find the speed in which the players went from a bag of festering, relegation threatened shit to winning 5 games on the bounce whilst scoring 13 goals in the process slightly distasteful. There was more to that than a managerial change, even taking into account your recent comments on formation change. There was an attitude issue towards Ranieri at play there I'd say.

 

[Benji]

West Ham only 3 points clear of 18th as it stands. Personally hoping for them to be relegated, but they will probably sack Bili and be alright.

 

[Super_horns]

Well they have Swansea and Sunderland next followed by most of the big boys so the pressure will be on him to get results in the former 2 games.
