Today's Games 2022-23.

[RosehillWolf]

5-1

 

[AW]

offside

 

[DanishWolf]

I confess.
I was one of them.
Happy to be wrong.

I can completely understand it. I've huge respect for what he did at Burnley.
But I'm not so sure that formula which was a succes there is easily transferable to a completely different club.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

Bournemouth on -31 GD and now going 7 clear of the trap door.

Shows how utterly bonkers of a scrap this has been…

 

[RosehillWolf]

Everton 1-5 Newcastle

Rules out for a daft offside

 

[Northampton_wolf]

39 points for Southampton if they lose is there max pretty much they can't overtake us now mathematically think there done

 

[manchesterwolf17]

I do half wish this 'higher bar' would be used on offsides.

Yes, we all know they're technically correct but **** off will ya. Joy sapping vampires.

 

[Evthewolf]

Absolutely huge game for both Everton and Leicester, on Monday.

 

[SuperGran]

Credit Bournemouth they’ve done really well

 

[SA Wolf]

Well done Newcastle. Saints cut adrift and down.

 

[sillytuna]

Absolutely huge game for both Everton and Leicester, on Monday.

Is there a neutral end where we can boo them both? Tho tbh I'd like to see Everton lose!

 

[Watfordfc]

Absolutely huge game for both Everton and Leicester, on Monday.

Probably a draw then so no good for either team .

So much for Dyche getting defensively solid !

 

[Superted]

How do you get from 25 to 39 in multiples of three?

Edit: Never mind BBC did me a dirty.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

They could get snookers

 

[lets all have a disco]

Bournemouth beats Leeds.... Leicester beat Everton.....we won't need another point I reckon...

When Liz Truss was Prime Minister she and her Chancellor seemed to manage it !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TheConcourse]

It’s genuinely a case now of being a well drilled team and finishing safe in the Premier League.

Bournemouth are absolutely awful. Totally uninspiring. Dreadful defensively, marginally better on the counter, but they have a decent shape.

Southampton were all over the place. Same as Leeds. Everton. Us under Lage. No shape, no hope.

You have to question the quality of this league when you see Villa in 5th.

 

[Contrarian]

We might be able to open the "Teams That Can't Catch Us" thread in a couple of weeks.

 

[DanishWolf]

Absolutely..
Great job by O'neill and those players who their former manager thought weren't good enough to keep them up.

Villa have done well but Watkins and his purple patch has helped them massively

 

[Bryce]

Another class strike. Some Everton players visibly given up now.

On the beach ready to negotiate their way out of a relegation club. Deserved to go down because of their arrogance . Hope it happens

 

[Sussex Wolf]

After this sequence…

Southampton are gone.
Everton are going…
And it’s one from Leicester, Leeds or Forest.

With a bit of luck, we will get to relegate Everton at Molineux.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Everton are **** poor

Fixed that for you....

 

[TheConcourse]

Villa have done well but Watkins and his purple patch has helped them massively

Totally. Every team in the bottom half don’t have a goalscorer. Fulham totally derailed by Mitrovic.

I mean look at Spurs! They’re something resembling 11-15th without Kane, surely?

 

[Jonzy54]

Newcastle ,10 goals in 2 games -if only

 

[Bryce]

Credit Bournemouth they’ve done really well

Sticks in my craw though.

Might be over by then

 

[Tring Wolf]

Before this year, I hadn’t appreciated just how good Kieran Trippier is.

After Haaland, he’s as good a shout for Footballer of the Year as anyone.

 

[Saltyjim]

I’m thinking Forest will stay up now (can pick results up at home) … Saints, Everton and Leeds for me

Forest only have 2 home games left - Southampton and Arsenal, whilst have to travel to Brentford, Chelsea and Palace. Their away form has been terrible so that will have to improve if they are going to survive.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Brilliant pass from Kane.

 

[TheConcourse]

Mitoma for me, but yeah, he’s been excellent. Newcastle as a unit have been very impressive tbf.

Full on keegan
I would love it

 

[woop woop barmy army]

Everton defence is awful and coady still can not get a game.

Really want them to drop been hanging by a thread for past few season and just awful team

Monday night is a cup final for both teams. Think its a must not loose for both.

Totally different player since he went to Spain....

I tend to agree. City are outstanding - possibly the best Prem side ever with Haarland. Arsenal are good but miles behind. Toon have become a decent side, Utd in transition, Liverpool inconsistent, Spurs and Chelsea are all over the place and the rest and ok to ****e. So all in all a pretty average Prem this season imo but excitning to an extent by the race for the title and the 9 teams involved at the bottom.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Might be over by then

Might be, but would just be nice to be the game to make it official!

 

[Norman Bell]

Isaac with the assist of the season

Apparently not an official one as it deflected off Tarkowski. I am gutted because with that news and the VAR cancelling out of Schar's wonder strike it has cost me Fantasy Points ! I feel sure @JOSWolf will feel my pain !!!!

Is it more that teams are cancelling each other out? The speed the game is played and the precision required, it's morphing away from the game it was 30 or 40 years ago. It has become all about organisation, gaining ground, winning set pieces, game management. And if a Haaland emerges, he's off to one of Europes elite by 21. That's if they haven't snapped him up even before. So little chance for any but the most bank rolled clubs to do much other than stay organised.

For a while, it's threatened to develop into a top 5 or 6 miles ahead, with the other 14 separated by a handful of points. TBF (to Bournemouth) most of the bottom half, including us, have been uninspiring for much of the time. Decent shape, grabbed some wins, that's very much us. Though I do think our defending is way better than most at the bottom, that's also what's kept our heads above water as our attack is as poor as the rest, perhaps excluding Everton.

36 could well be enough … Arsenal will be done by the time they play … and wouldn’t rule them out picking something up at Chelsea if super Frank is still there

 

[SuperGran]

They could win their home games and get something from Chelsea too
