Bris Vegas Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Premier League relegation battle is pretty intense this year. West Brom are now 7 points adrift, I can't see them getting out. Southampton look in real danger too. For some weird reason after today they only have 4 home games left, and 7 away. Of their home games they've still got to play Chelsea and Man City. They look far too good to go down, but they keep drawing games they should win. It could cost them in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth are midtable and only 5 points above Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth top half and yes still could be in trouble. Makes for exciting finish, more so than winning the damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is very little to choose between United, Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea. Arsenal are now a clear 6th best, and they won’t win the Europa League what with Atletico Madrid in it and having very little else to play for. Aside from West Brom I can’t pick a bottom 3. Huddersfield and Newcastle were in poor form before winning this weekend. If Derby fail to go up this season, who are our best bets for going down? I’d imagine Saints would bounce back with ease as they’ve got some quality young players. Newcastle with Benitez leaving could be a mess. Stoke could be too. I’d imagine Wagner would stay at Huddersfield and they’d do a Burnley, take relegation on the chin and just use the money to go again. I’d probably vote for WBA, Stoke and Newcastle. I can’t see any being as bad as Hull or Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKRam Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Good post Bris. Can’t disagree with much there. Someone will no doubt have a ridiculously good run when looking doomed. I can’t predict a three to go down, look at the improvement in the Swans with a manager cast off by Wednesday. Enjoy the surprises! Out of your three I reckon Geordies will survive not just because of yesterday’s result. I am biased towards Man City due to family history so I’ll be a happy chappy when they win it. Still think Liverpool haven’t a great defence always susceptible but I’d group that pack as you’ve done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was and with the exception of Hazard I thought it looked like two even teams. Rondon misses a good chance and moments later Chelsea killed the game.

Didn't bother betting in the end anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 My tip for the bottom 3 would be Southampton, Newcastle and WBA. My tip for the Champions League is Liverpool. I think with many top teams picking each other off, the competition will open itself up for a team to come from left field and win. What is refreshing to see is that the standard of teams left in the Europa League this year is pretty high. It’s wide open because you have to wonder how seriously many of the bigger teams will take it. Napoli or Atletico would be red hot favourites in any other year but they will probably see it as an unwelcome distraction from the league and an unnecessary strain on their squads. I could see Dortmund winning it personally as a tonic to Bayern’s dominance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Spurs are ******* good. Going away to Juventus and getting a 2-2 result after going down 2-0 in the first 10 minutes is an incredible result. I see them making the next round, and with a fortunate draw could keep going further! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Real Madrid vs PSG is a real blockbuster. But it's hard to watch Madrid play in the CL as the officials just constantly help them along. I thought the penalty was fair, but on at least three occasions PSG broke, got fouled and the referee played on. Neymar commits one foul and is booked. The same for Lo Celso. You can understand favouritism in La Liga towards Madrid, but I don't get it in the CL. Happens every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
