sne Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Just now, bobzy said: At this point last season, they had won 4, drawn 4 and lost 8 giving them 16 points. They were in 16th place, 5 points above the relegation zone. This time they have 11 points and are 2 points from safety. ”Similar”, but a lot worse. But with 2-3 games in hand. Which obviously doesn't guarantee points but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current table doesn't tell the full picture. Once all the teams with games in hand play their games it could look a lot different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Norwich are down, they were down before the season started. The other 2 places are up for grabs. Business in January will decide if there is a risk of Newcastle staying up, hope they get it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Burnley,with Dyche usually manage to stay up but Watford and Leeds dont look too good especially if Newcastle buy their way out of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 As I said in the Newcastle thread a while ago, I still can’t see Newcastle going down. Their post January team will be much stronger than the other teams down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Today was a must win for Leeds as they next play West Ham (a), Newcastle (h), Aston Villa (a), Everton (a), Man Utd (h), Spurs (h), they could easily find themselves back in trouble after those.

Dennis Nigeria forgot to file the paperwork and he has played 7 minutes in 2 years for Nigeria, is another Watford player in the squad. Sarr is a strange one he hasnt played in a few months through injury so they might have a legitimate claim but Senegal want him banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Norwich, Burnley (finally) and probably Watford. Newcastle will probably fluke it and then sack Howe and bring in a world class manager in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Burnley are on a poor run. Just need to play a team though that's notorious for gifting a win to teams in terrible form. On another topic whens our rescheduled fixture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would surely put Newcastle in a right dire mess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 31 minutes ago, useless said: Even if Newcastle win today, they will go back into the bottom three on Tuesday because Burnley and Watford play each other, if Burnley win they go above Newcastle, if Watford win or draw then they will go above Newcastle. They didn't win, which means if Watford beat Burnley on Tuesday Necastle will be five points adrift of safety, if Burnley get any kind of result in that game then Newcastle will go to the bottom of the table. Watford beating Burnley would be the worst scenario for them, but either way they've messed up today by not being able to win the easiest fixture they'll likely get in the league other than Perhaps Norwich at home, and they've already played that game and failed to win. Big chance for Watford now, next two games Burnley and Norwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
