Mark Albrighton Posted January 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) While it increasingly looks like it will be three of the bottom four, there’s not one side cut adrift yet. It could feasibly be any of the combinations. While the exception that I’d be happy for Newcastle to be cut adrift, it would make things interesting if they were still all around on similar points by April. At this stage my hunch is it’s between Watford and Burnley to survive. Edited January 16, 2022 by Mark Albrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 This week is going to be pretty important, if Watford win on Tuesday they will go five points clear of Newcastle, if they then beat Norwich on Friday they will go eight points clear, whereas on the other hand if Watford lose their next two then Norwich will climb out of the relegation zone. Either of those scenarios is bad for Newcastle as they will either be eights adrift going into their away game against Leeds, or bottom of the table and four points adfrit of Norwich. Draws in the Burnley v Watford, and Norwich V Watford games would perhaps be the best results for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted January 16, 2022 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2022 Think Newcastle will survive. It would be very on brand for the prem for the villains to succeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted January 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'm still dreaming of Newcastle, Leeds & Burnley. Please football gods. You dick us twice a year, sometimes 3 times, every year with Manure - can we just have those 3 relegated? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 9 times tbey have gone ahead in games and 9 times they have lost that lead. That will always play on their minds. They have 2 weeks to pull some signings out of the bag that instantly improve them . That can handle the pace of the prem , gel with their new colleagues and bring the mental toughness to move up the table and end this inability to win. I think its a massive ask. Half the reason Burnley are down there is because Chris Wood hasnt been firing. And Trippier has been doing well at a team with real quality. Now he is at a team without. I am predicting they will go down alongside Burnley and Watford. Because i love Dean and want him to survive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Name Is Death Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I want Everton to be relegated, not because I dislike them but because I hope it gives them the same kick up the behind we sorely needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be interesting Andy Carroll to score the winner for Burnley while relegating Toon with his first goal for the club having signed in Jan and immediately picking up an injury which kept him out of the team till May.

They're a likeable club. One of the few imo. I hope they stay up and learn the easy way tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see any grafters in that team if they hit a relegation fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
