Bottom 3

[NAP]

I'd be very worried if I were a West Ham fan. Their fixtures over the next few weeks are about as bad as you could get:

Everton - Home
Leicester - Away
Liverpool - Home
Brighton - Home
Man City - Away
Liverpool - Away
Southampton - Home
Arsenal - Away
Wolves - Home
Tottenham - Away
Chelsea - Home

Other than the Everton & possibly Brighton games, I don't see them picking up a single win out of these - the Chelsea game being on April 4th leaves them just 6 games to pick up as many points as possible. They're only 1 point above Villa & 2 above Bournemouth as it stands.

I'm not writing Bournemouth off just yet either. They look an awful side, but they have a run of fixtures that could absolutely save their season.

Norwich - Away
Brighton - Home
Villa - Away
Us-Away
Burnley - Away

Couple of winnable games here could see them a few points clear of the bottom three. Are they good enough to do it? Perhaps not, but it's in their hands at least.

Edit: just realised, last game of the season - West Ham vs Villa & Burnley vs Brighton. This could go to the wire!

Surely the Us Away doesn’t belong there!!

If they do finish in the bottom three would you want us to try and sign any of their players?

McGinn
Hourihane
Ramsdale
Brooks
Aarons
= Excellent transfer window

Why are we not playing them now?

Snodgrass. Absolute Twonk, but i reckon he'd be great for us.

I read it the same as NAP you have us down as one of the fixtures that could save their season, do you expect them to beat us?

 

[gordoncharles]

I find this all makes me feel very uneasy.

Discussing who's going to be relegated and then deciding which of those clubs players we should deign to take.

Rather arrogant. Most un-Bladeslike.

I don't, we just happen to be one of the sides who they play in the next 5. Hence "couple of" winnable games.

Yeah I did read it more thoroughly afterwards and could see what you meant.

Exactly it's like Porktalk on here all that's missing is Sid James and Blakey faces at the end of every reply.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

From a purely selfish point of view, I go to all the away games and I'm hoping it's Norwich, Bournemouth and West Ham just to cut down on the travelling.
Tin hat on, be nice for them to be replaced by Leeds, West Brom and pigs, be worth it to cut back on the long journeys home.

That is certainly the zeitgeist over at Kumb..

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Yes Greg, we were 4/5.

And your question gives me the excuse to re-post this, which I for one never tire of

Haven't you seen their most recent one though.... it's even worse from that Frankie Boyle wannabe.

 

[Stanthemanfan]

Excluding the players we obviously won’t be able to get

Norwich - Cantwell, Godfrey
Bournemouth - King, Lewis Cook, Mepham, Ramsdale
Villa - McGinn
Watford - Deulefeu, Foster, Hughes
West Ham - Haller, Fabianski
Burnley - Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, McNeil
Brighton - Gross, Dunk, Ryan, Maupay
Newcastle - S Longstaff, Schar, Dubravka, Willems, Almiron, Joelinton

I thought you were excluding the players we couldn't get?

 

[BushBlade]

Same here. They'd be the three on my wish list. Always good to see bigger clubs drop through the trapdoor. It would be even better if Brentford, Fulham and West Brom replaced them.

Brentford, Fulham and QPR would be fantastic.

 

[RMBlade]

Who would you say we 100% couldn’t get if they went down? Sure some are more likely. The likes of Cantwell, Haller and Dunk are unlikely but I guess it depends on where we finish in the league.

Schar and Dubravka from the barcodes would be fantastic

Apparently Man u and spurs already looking at cantwell and the farmers want 25-30 mill
Even next season ( if we stay up)we have to be a bit prudent especially if the prince uses the prem money to pay off mcabe

No doubt he is very unlikely but if were to finish top 7 or somehow top 4 then it wouldn’t be impossible, unlikely but not impossible.

 

[1973Blade]

Only Norwich of the bottom five won today, the chances of a team with 40 points going down are receding.

I thought that earlier. 3 from 5, maybe 6 for me

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Get Man City out of the way and it's a big run of horrific defeats.

 

[ormester]

Norwich. Bournemouth then hope villa
