I agree, as good as Liverpool were (spit!), Leicester were awful. They're gone. Saints, Leicester and one of Leeds / Everton for me as I think Forest will turn Arsenal over this weekend as they will finish 2nd regardless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with Forest, Everton and now Leeds since Allardyce went in, there might not be much quality there but they're all showing a bit of spirit and fight. Leicester have none of that and look like they've given up, several of them safe in the knowledge that they won't have to stick around to play in the Championship. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Bradley Orr saying on his Undr the Cosh episode that a lot of the senior Blackburn players downed tools at the end of the season as they would find it easier to move on to bigger things if Blackburn went down. One of the players in Centre midfield had less sprints than the GK. Not sure I believe that even now, but it l does make me more suspicious of seemingly decent players that don’t seem to give a shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Personally can't see Forest getting another point. Arsenal play before Man City at the weekend so won't want to hand them the title 24 hours early. Palace away last day will be a carnival with Roy and Zaha leaving. Palace won't lie down either. Plus an inferior goal difference to Leeds and Everton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s horrible for fans when their team plays like that. Ironically I remember City putting in a similar performance when Leicester thrashed us at AG - possibly in McInness’ last game as manager?

Players likely have relegation release clauses and if they don't they know the relegated club would likely need to sell anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Looks like I'm going to have to make a special trip if I want to get to Goodison before they move, I think Leeds and Leicester are toast. Can't see Leeds ( WHU A. & Spurs H.) or Leicester ( Newcastle A. & WHU H. ) getting more than a point. Everton have 2 teams all ready for the beach ( Wolves A. & B'muf H.) I think a point will be enough for them , I really don't see anyone below Everton, pulling off a 5-1 Brighton sort of performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Yaga Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Think after last night Leicester are 95% down but the other 3 teams have it all to play for still and it could be any of them to go, Leicester looked really poor going forwards which surprised me and think they need something against Newcastle which looks unlikely on current form. Leeds have shown something in the last couple of games under big Sam, West Ham play in europe on Thurs and Spurs are doing poorly and also have nothing to play for, it's very possible they could pick up 6pts in those last 2 games. Calvert Lewin went off at half time in Everton's last game which could possibly be a disaster if he doesn't return, but they have nice games coming up on paper so can only blame themselves if they go down. I think Forest could need one more win and their games aren't ideal but they have been playing quite well recently. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s doing a fantastic job tbf, the improvement in players who were already there is clear. But he has spent £260M so not exactly doing it on a shoestring. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to deal with far more crosses loaded into the box in the Championship. Teams like Birmingham where he was particularly weak live off them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
