Relegation run in 22/23 ** Now a Wolves free zone**

[Lupo]

Everton and Leeds have very tough fixtures, both have to play Man City I think

 

[sycophantia]

Results so far this weekend have got to be good for us surely, hoping after next weekend there'll be a sizable gap between us and the bottom 5.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Irrelevant really isn't it. We were probably safe on 34 and we obviously are on 37.

Unless you think Everton are getting 9 points from 5 games and both Forest and Leeds are getting 7 points from 4 games.

Stop worrying.

 

[SSB]

Stop worrying.

251/1 if anyone is still worrying.

 

[sycophantia]

I'm not worrying really, just taking part in the discussion as an alternative to arguing whether Sa is any good or whether I should pledge my allegiance to Charley on Saturday
I haven't worried about relegation since we beat Chelsea.

 

[Mel Evo]

Surely any fears of teams down near the bottom turning water into wine in the next month are allayed by this weekends shower of shit?! Everyone losing (apart from the ones playing clowns even worse than themselves), goals being shipped left right and centre, winning positions thrown away for defeats not even draws. It’s every reason why they’re not turning it around in one set of fixtures.

Gracia on the brink according to Phil Hay

Leeds to press the 'Big Fat Sam' button?

Little lad only wanted a wave from the players and security went and stood right in front of him. Not a good look. Modern football eh?

Appreciate this is a generalisation but I think it's all circular, the money players earn, the lives that gives them the licence to lead, the amount fans have to pay, the social media bearpit. It's created probably a bigger divide than ever between the two aside from stunted PR exercises. There was an Arsenal clip a couple of weeks ago that was very similar. The Wolves video with Fraser and Lemina was genuine, it stood out for it's integrity, but it's an outlier these days

The internationalization of the game has inevitably hurt that connection, as well, IMO.

I like Weston McKennie. I think he's a decent player and seems to be generally an alright guy. How much do I think he genuinely cares about LUFC or the city of Leeds? Barely at all, I'd guess. In fact, go right through their squad. How many players there really love Leeds United? Dan Ayling maybe, and then...

But obviously we're never going back to the days of a Premiership winning squad being majority British. And whilst that has meant that the quality of the league has increased to the absurd standard we watch today, something is certainly lost in the "community" aspect of a club.

This is not picking on the Prem; I imagine this could be observed in probably every league with a major broadcast deal in place (and even a few where there isn't).

There was an Arsenal clip a couple of weeks ago that was very similar.

The Dad of one off the girl defended the club on that one. The vid was as the players were arriving and they needed to get in the dressing room (presume late arrival fines), hence the quick half arsed smiles for the camera.
After the video, the mascots were invited in the dressing room and spent time with the players, chatting, pics etc.

A bit odd from the club to do the official stuff for the cameras and the parents at a time the players can't give more than 5 seconds of their time when 10 mins later things are more relaxed and friendly.

The community definitely wants a football club to be in the best leagues, makes the town/city feel better.
The football club has to want the community, we’ve been very up and down with it, Nuno ( remember him?) he got it and actively encouraged it, players bought into it and then the community feeds into it.
The Portuguese Dean Saunders he never got it, didn’t care, you look as his unveiling or first day video, walking round on his phone not giving a toss,hopefully we’ve now got a manager who seems to get it and wants to build ties again.
Players wise, Adama, Coady, were definitely getting it ( or doing a good job of pretending), our social media team do a good job a lot of the time,

Half arsed apology from the players today (or the club social media team to make it look like they are sorry).

Incoming, an over the top video of the kid being invited to the club, meeting the players and getting some freebies.

 

[Wolvensam]

Everton:

Brighton (A)
City (H)
Wolves (A)
Bournemouth (H)

Leicester:

Fulham (A)
Liverpool (H)
Newcastle (A)
West Ham (H)

Forest:

Southampton (H)
Chelsea (A)
Arsenal (H)
Palace (A)

Leeds:

City (A)
Newcastle (H)
West Ham (A)
Tottenham (H).

Cannot predict how this is going to end!

 

[jd1981]

Forest Fixtures probably the best, Leeds the worse. Someone is going to pick an unexpected result Leeds beating Spurs on the last day looks the best shout or Forest winning at Chelsea.

 

[Wolvensam]

A win against Southampton might even be enough to see Forest safe looking at everyone else’s fixtures

 

[PuntsWolf]

I’m making that Leeds as favourites with Saints. Can’t see them getting 4 points.

Then I think it will be Everton unless we gift them a win.

Forest will probably get the 4 they need given they are playing Saints and 3 teams with nothing to play for.

Leicester will also get the 34 I reckon.

Good chance someone going on 34 on GD by the looks of things.

 

[Sniffer]

Leeds will go down. None of the others will get more than 6 points.
