The Relegation Battle 2018/19

[Jatz]

Surely another PL club signs him. He's too good for the Championship.

Not so sure that’s true myself. Looks good in a s**t side but that doesn’t mean he’s good enough for the rest of the league.

I’d personally be surprised if a PL club bought him.

HUGE win for Cardiff over Soton. Soton scored in the 91st min to make it 1-1 then Cardiff won it in the 93rd to go up to 15th place.


Burnley now drop into the bottom 3 and are about to play Brighton who are 3 points out of the relegation zone.

Burnley now drop into the bottom 3 and are about to play Brighton who are 3 points out of the relegation zone.

That last place is very much up for grabs. Could be anyone up to and including Palace. The bottom two are definitely gonners now

 

[RossFC]

Burnley beat Brighton 3-1 after some questionable ref decisions. We now have our 3rd side in the bottom 3 tonight. Welcome Soton. Burnley up to 15th.

Leicester I don't expect to get much against Spurs.
The other game to round out the week, Wolves (40 point target up for grabs) play Newcastle (who could hypothetically drop into the bottom 3 if they lose by 4 goals).

 

[Zoom]

Will be sad if Southampton get dumped

 

[RossFC]

Wolves get an equaliser in the last seconds of the game and push up to 39 points. Newcastle would be gutted after that.

Opportunity for Wolves and Watford to get to 40 points next round against Bournemouth and Cardiff respectively.

 

[chiwigi]

Will be sad if Southampton get dumped

I completely disagree!

Cardiff need to get 4 points from their next two games (Watford and Everton).

 

[Brad Goodman]

Sad for Huddersfield but the job Wagner did getting them into the league, and then keeping them up, was a better job than anyone replacing him was going to be capable of.

Praying for Newcastle to stay up, if only to avoid probable Tyne-Wear derbies next season...

 

[Zidane98]

Dubravka has cost Newcastle a point away to Spurs and 2 points against Wolves. Could be telling at the end of the season.

His account is still in the black.

 

[RossFC]

Watford hit 40 points, Cardiff take a big hit on their GD.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

For reference this is what the 34 on this board predicted.

Hudd 27/34
Cardiff 33/34
BHA 12/34
Burnley 1/34
Watford 11/34
Newcastle 6/34
Bournemouth 4/34
Fulham 1/34
Soton 5/34
CP 2/34

 

[RossFC]

Wolves up to 40 points, Burnley upset Spurs, Newcastle with an important 3 points over a 10 man Huddersfield.

 

[RossFC]

Fulham look done and dusted now with a 2-0 loss to Soton. Southampton also move out of the relegation zone.

 

[Cruyff14]

That bottom three deserve to go down IMO.

 

[SM]

Brighton plummeting.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Brighton plummeting.

Na they'll be fine they've got us at Selhurst so there's a guaranteed three points

West Ham have Cardiff next, they should be able to grab at least a point to get to 40.

 

[Chaisa]

Looking at Cardiff's draw, if they don't beat West Ham it's probably curtains for them.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

35 is probably the target. Unlikely Cardiff get 10 more points but I suppose we’ve seen big escapes before

 

[ossie_21]

Current bottom 3 will go down, all with the worst defences in the league.

Only really feel for Cardiff over the Sala situation which could have very much changed their trajectory

 

[RossFC]

Soton, Newcastle, Cardiff and Brighton all win their games. West Ham and Everton squander a chance to get to 40.

 

[Alphonse_]

This Huddersfield team is so pathetic, they deserve to be relegated straight down to League One

Seriously they are the worst Premier League Team I have seen in my lifetime, yes worse than the rubbish Derby team that got relegated with a record low 9 points.

Poor Aaron Moot

Derby got 11 points. Sorry that was a bit of a Mooy point.
