Bournemouth are fairly naff and have nothing to play for, and Everton are pretty decent at home unfortunately. Just in the last few weeks Bournemouth have won away at Southampton and Leicester, and at home against Leeds. Now I know the retort here is they weren't safe then and they are now, but I do sometimes think people make too much of that distinction. West Ham were safe this weekend and supposedly saving themselves for a European final and they still easily beat Leeds. Basically it's up in the air and any of the 3 of them could survive. Anyway the annoying thing is I've remembered I'm at a Christening on Sunday so I'm going to miss everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point but since Dyche was appointed Everton have only lost at home to us, Man City, Fulham and Newcastle. Although on the flip side, they also haven't won at home in over 2 months. All I'm saying is - don't get your hopes up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Leicester and Leeds for me. Both Shite nothing clubs back where they belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I can see Leicester beating west ham. But I can't see Everton losing. A draw for Everton and win for Leicester sees Everton go down on goal difference. Really hope it's one of those last days where all three clubs end up in the bottom 3 at some point, and a last minute goal decides the final droppee. In that scenario, not fussed who stays up. Everton or Leeds are for the drop this season or next if they stay up anyway. Leicester I don't have much against abs like Dean, but they're not a financially screwed basket case like the other two so more of a potential future threat if they stay up (albeit only relatively and not really...). Its all win win win whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I didn't give Leicester a prayer of getting a clean sheet last night and have to give credit to Dean for that. Definitely going to be an exciting last day at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that scenario, not fussed who stays up. This. Just some absolute madness happening. Ideally something like Everton winning 1-0 but conceding a 91st minute equaliser whilst, at the same time, Jamie Vardy scores a 91st minute winner against West Ham as Leicester win 4-3. Meanwhile, Leeds hammer Spurs 6-0 and still go down. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted May 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2023 I really don’t care who goes down. Whoever stays up will be down there again next May. I just want it to be interesting. Such a nice feeling to be able to enjoy a relegation battle from afar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Leeds to beat Spurs incase we fail to beat Brighton. Plus it's a guaranteed 6 points in the chase for CL next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was helpful for them obviously but didn't change things too drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Leeds and Leicester for me to go down. Everton cobbled just enough to stay up and they've got grafters in the squad to tumble the ball over the line. Leicester just don't look up for it and Leeds will contrive their way into letting Tottenham win their first match away from London since October.

brommy Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Paid a measly £5 to see leeedz relegated, paying me £115 back if they mess it up. Set the amount where I'd be happy in any event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
