Relegation Thread 2023/24

We should be longer odds than both Palace and Brentford

Palace agreed, absolutely nothing going for them without Eze/ Olise. Only saving grace is they're a London team so will attract players more easily than most. Boring as all hell.

Brentford look excellent one week, pony the next. Seem to beat all the Big Boys but am always confident we'll turn them over.

The middle of this league is weird.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They've updated their odds.

We're now 10/1. West Ham are 50/1.

We're two points behind them and it wouldn't be outlandish to suggest we will win next week at Sheff Utd and they will lose at Brentford.

Nonsense stuff

How have we gone in two points after a draw with a CL team? We're in the same league position and the same amount of points above relegation FFS.

It's algorithms rather than Barry down at Ladbrokes on the High Street setting the odds though isn't it? (Genuine question)

Some of it is, some of it is obvious nonsense

 

[BillyDee]

It's based more on where money has been placed rather than how likely something is to happen. Obviously there should be some correlation between the two, but, football fans...

Nice little draw between West Ham and Brentford and Chelsea lose at Spurs and we could make a decent jump up the table.

Both of which could very easily happen

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Being greedy Fulham might well beat Man United as well at Craven Cottage…

 

[HanDoJin]

Not with Raul up front

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He is only really a sub tbf

 

[HanDoJin]

He started yesterday but was hoiked before the hour. 32 games without a goal now.

Honestly, I hope he scores a late consolation goal at Molineux in a 4-1 Fulham loss and the whole of Molineux sings his name for fully five minutes. But he's spent in this division.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He won’t be the reason why Flum get a point or three. They have other forwards.

And United have no defence and their forwards are not scoring or assisting either

Has Dave Jones kidnapped Roy Hodgson and is posing as him in an old man mask?

“There was no disappointment today," Hodgson said, when asked if he was pleased with his team's fight after last week's 4-0 drubbing against Newcastle.

But he then added: "Although, maybe the young substitutes — who we like to think we can believe in and help us to a different level — didn’t show that.

"They didn’t do anything for us at all, really. We became much weaker when I made the substitutions.

"I thought it was an aggressive and quite-controlled first-half from our side, but of course the first goal then produces a second," he said.

"That is when we start putting players on the field, players who have not really played with the first-team, Jes, Ahamada, Franca and we lost the intensity we were able to do in the first-half.

"In the end it became easy for them [Tottenham] to see the game through."

I read his story on the Beeb site this morning. Very sad.

I saw a snippet of John Gregory on some podcast the other day. Still banging the same "how can you be depressed if you have that much money" drum that he was 25 years ago with Paul Merson and Stan Collymore. Berk.

Take a look at Robin Williams, Caroline Flack, Keith Flint for reference it's not about money you silly cunt.

Yep this line about people with money not being depressed is utter horseshit. Yep finances can cause MH issues, however so does loneliness, social rejection, fame, health, work pressure, bereavement, PTSD etc the list is non exhaustive

Alex Scott out for the rest of 2023 too.
