Can I call it now @bayimports ????
Looking a lot like Southampton down and any 2 from 4 with West Ham still vulnerable.
-
@KiwiPie yes... and significant relief, should allow us to retain Lerma now too. Start planning some further spending over the summer. If you said a two months ago, we would have the same points as Chelsea I don't think I would have believed it
I think Forest beat Southampton taking them past Leeds then it becomes a scrap between Leicester, Everton and Leeds with Everton the easier draw.

Chelsea are absolute rubbish at the moment. Reminds me of when Kirwan coached the blues.
-
At least lampard has Mme Bleakley for consolation.

Meanwhile the madness continues. Leeds apparently set to appoint Big Sam as their fourth Manager of the season. With only four games left - Citeh, Newcastle, West Ham and Spurs
Have they even got a shot of saving themselves?

You'd have thought not but they are still in 17th . All three clubs behind them have similarly difficult draws with one massive exception. Southampton play Forest next. They need Saints to win that an then all the bottom three to keep losing. If that happens (not totally unrealistic) they don't need another point to stay up.29 points would have been enough two years ago so in theory....

Big Sam is a master at keeping teams up, but they have left it pretty late

Arsenal did enough in the 1st half but once again poor defending by Zinchenko for the Chelsea goal.

I am struggling to see why they are persisting with him.

He plays as an inverted fullback, which is an important role in Arteta's attacking system. In short, Zinchenko is used as an additional midfielder. He's not a great defender though, and is often out of position because of where he is on the field (central).

Personally I think Leeds are done, maybe Big Sam can help earn them a couple of points and that could be enough..but talk about leaving it late, but looking at their next games, I can't see them winning any.

@dogmeat lol that is quite funny, earliest changes generally ok, change twice you're gooone
-
@bayimports You look at that list and it reeks of clubs panicking.
Apart from Parker and Gerrard have any of the others really made a difference?
Obviously Lampard is also a shite Manager but Everton could still go down.
Maybe Big Sam is the answer
