Premier League - 2022/23

Agreed.

Small club punishment.

 

It’s a horrible situation wanting Javi to do well, but it’s for Leeds.

 

If they fire him, would Cooper come to us for next season ? Good coach.

 

The relegation battle in the prem is looking so tight. Only 7 points separating the bottom 9 clubs, almost half the league.
When Leeds went a goal down early in, they stood 19th, 2nd bottom. 2 goals later and they are 13th.

 

Looking at away matches for next season would prefer Leicester, Forest and Southampton to replace Burnley, Middlesbrough and Blackburn.

Forest looking very vulnerable with a poorer goal difference than many around them. I have no idea what their owner would do if they are relegated, but to me Cooper would have a strong case that he has the credentials to get them straight back up.

Leeds looking more solid now, averaging a point a game, with nine games to go that would put them in touching distance of the magical 40 points.

 

We’re going. Club has massively ****ed it. Should have binned the dwarf fraud before the international break (or at any point in the last 18 months) but instead we let him do his insipid thing against Palace, getting done by Roy Hodgson and had the bloke that puts the cones out and a **** goalie coach in charge last night.

Bring it on. A massive broom needs to be taken to the club. Too many clubs have caught up on what we were doing in terms of fitness and recruitment and now we basically have an average championship side plus Maddison and a couple more talented but ridiculously flaky players.

The fact that this reality still hasn’t dawned on the owners or the ‘Director of Blah’ types in the stand tells me that relegation could be a good thing, not that I want it to happen, but it might force some change.

I know that a similar rot has set in at Watford and you’ve not a had a rejuvenating experience in getting relegated but I’d hope we look at Burnley and the clean slate it’s given them.

 

You just want to get relegated so that you can take pleasure in relegating us to League One next season. Utter B***ards. .
I still think it will be Soton, Bournemouth and NF. Exciting though. #onetowatch.

 

That would be a silver lining for sure. Muzzy Izzett. 2.0.

I just see so little in terms of fight and ideas from this team. Home to Muff Divers on Saturday so that feels like the last chance to start a run.

 

You should be careful what you wish for. Sounds like you want to be relegated so you can bask in the glory of being right. Sick of bedwetters like you. If you don’t like it maybe you should **** off and support Forest. Think of all the good your owners have dun.

In *checks Wikipedia* 1883 you didn’t even have a **** goalie coach in charge last night.

 

I remember the dark days of Willie Orr as manager. Times were so hard he actually had to use his willy as an oar to row down the Grand Union Canal to get to home games.

Yes that's a huge game - just as the Leeds vs NF game was last night. Against our rivals too. Come on you Foxes !!

 

Absolutely hilarious if true: https://www.football365.com/news/chelsea-appointed-lampard-reminded-existed-mediawatch

 

Willie Orr what?

Won't he?

 

Can't seriously be appointing Lampshade can they unless it's temporary?

 

Apparently Lampard to Chelsea is on hahaha

 

He’ll keep them up comfortably.

 

Sort of makes sense given he has links with the club, and is currently available. Just like that much, much better manager, Potter.

 

So much for the run then. It's really not looking good for Leicester.

 

I don't know how much debt you have (even if your owners seem to have lost a lot of money through Covid), but it's probably less than us and despite your pathetic season you've still been far more competitive than we were last season...

 

It's a cracking gig being an underwhelming Premier League manager, you'll never be long out of work!

 

Doesn’t matter how much debt they have. Rich owners can cover it. Surely covid can’t have brought them down to Pozzo levels of relative poverty?

 

The problem with all this is that they hide behind the “clear and obvious” mantra. The authorities don’t want the match to be re-refereed by VAR, so they try and overturn on-pitch decisions as little as possible. Of course this is nonsense. If you have the VAR system you have to use it to its fullest extent for it to mean anything. After all, you are supposedly trying to make every decision correct, otherwise what’s the point? If you are going to go to the lengths of judging a toenail offside, why are some ‘lesser’ fouls being ignored?

My stance has always been that I hate VAR for the way it ruins the watching experience for fans in the stadium and if all players, managers, fans etc. were prepared to respect the referee’s decision, whether or not he made a mistake, the whole thing would be much more enjoyable.

 

Palace have young technically excellent players. We had Kalu, Kayembe, Kabasele, Gosling and Cathcart starting when he was here.
