Premier League - 2022/23

So if my maths is correct, if Leicester beat Newcastle tomorrow night they move up to 17th and dump Everton in the relegation zone.
Then, on the final day, if Leicester beat Spam as well, they would have 36pts, and send both Everton and Leeds down regardless of their results?

 

Got a a whiff of a 0-0 here.

Newcastle just need a point.

Leicester playing for one.

Might have been different had Newcastle been sent down to 10 men early which 95% of people would expect but not the people that matter.

 

Are they going to do to Newcastle what we did at Old Trafford? Steal a point we had no right in taking?

 

Obviously thinking get a point then beat a weak West Ham side on Saturday.

And then hope for the best elsewhere.

 

What was Vardy complaining about? He's been crap like the rest of the forwards so far. I would of hooked him too. Make a change and win a corner instantly.

 

Nick Pope may as well sit in the canteen. I've never seen a goal keeper have such an easy job so far.

 

This has the feeling of Leicester holding till the last minute and a dodgy penalty gets awarded or something.

 

Not really had much of the ball tbf.

Well might be if they win Sunday and Everton /Leeds both fail to get 3 points but that seems unlikely.

They do have the better GD.

 

I am sure they do, but it's better to draw and get a point from a really tough away fixture than to lose. It gives them a tiny bit of hope final day, but both Leeds and Leicester know that if Everton win, they are both down regardless (bar goal difference). If they push up to much Newcastle are going to score. But they should have had at least three by now. Dreadful finishing combined with last ditch defending.

 

What a chance!!! Great save from Pope though. That would of won it surely.

 

Think that is Leeds down .

Leicester need to win and hope Everton don’t beat Bournemouth.

 

Liverpool asking a few questions of the officials after Saturday.

Wonder if they asked why Jota wasn’t sent off the other week v Spurs before scoring the winner ?

Will be even more frustrating for them now after Newcastle dropped points tonight .

 

I would still love your guys to stay up and take dirty Leeds down with Everton. Their fans' are insufferable when they win. Just listening to the podcasts over the summer with them crying will fill my Summer void. I would look at tonight as a decent point in a tough game, yes you were dominated from the off and hardly laid a glove on them, but this isn't the Newcastle of seasons' past. It's a side built on "clean" finances and banked rolled with a lego head as manager who I still cannot stand. Everton win, it's over for you both, but Bournemouth might put in a blinder and Everton could well lose. As long as you don't let West Ham sweep you under the carpet like Leeds did yesterday, you still have a chance, small, but it's there.

 

At the moment only Southampton are confirmed down and they are pretty well off. No doubt they will sell jewels like JWP and the rest, but I think they will def. be up there from the off. A strong following and they have put a lot of faith in youth since they were condemed to relegation a few months back nearly. Sure, not good enough for the PL but they can more than hold their own in this tinpot division.

If a miracle happens and Everton do drop, I think they might shock a few people next season. They are going to be in a financial mess (unless this rumored buy out happens) and many of their "stars" will not want to play lower level football. They also have quite a small squad and I think they will find the overall transition tough to get used to. Leeds and Leicester will be about on even pegging. Both are going to slow starters as a lot of clearing out will be done over the Summer. Leeds will no doubt have a new head coach as Fat Sam won't stick around. Leicester have a fantastic stadium and really good support, if they can keep hold of their PL average stars, they should easily mount a push for the playoffs. So, my two cents is Southampton would be the strongest of the sides, with Everton struggling.

 

I wonder how many more clubs will try including ladies matches in season ticket prices as a sneaky way of increasing the price .

Guess it’s some sort of marketing tool to gain more interest but some probably won’t have any and feel they are paying for something they don’t want to watch .
