[Albion] Premier League 2-3/10/21

[Bry Nylon]

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if Bielsa sees the writing is on the wall for him at Leeds. I don't think he'll be sacked, but I doubt he'll sign another new deal next summer.

I worry about what will happen to his little translator friend if he goes? I've grown quite fond of him.

Bielsa:- "Err....éramos una mierda"

Translator:- "It was a tight game with many compressed areas in the midfield. We didn't use the ball intelligently enough or transition into attacking areas with enough intensity or belief. We have to work harder when out of possession to retain our shape and identify those moments that can change games."

Hopefully:

Man Utd v Everton - DRAW;
Burnley v Norwich - DRAW;
Chelsea v Southampton - HOME WIN;
Leeds v Watford - AWAY WIN;
Wolves v Newcastle - DRAW;
Brighton v Arsenal - HOME WIN;

Palace v Leicester - AWAY WIN;
Spurs v Villa - DRAW;
West Ham v Brentford - DRAW;
Liverpool v City - DRAW.

Please.

It would be funny if Leeds, Soton and Newcastle all won. Especially if Leicester were to as well.

 

[Taybha]

Man Utd 2-0
Norwich 0-1
Chelsea 2-0
Draw 2-2
Draw 1-1
Brighton 2-1


SUNDAY
Leicester 0-2
Spuds 1-0
West Ham 2-1
Liverpool 2-0

If you fancy a bet on all of those predictions coming in you're either minted and just don't care
or related to Sydney.

Would like to see Norwich get something, don't want to go there with them having lost 7 on the bounce, we know how great we are at ending these streaks

Well yes ... and that they're playing Burnley

At least we have a new and handy response available for any post they may care to make....

If you admins were doing your jobs properly, there'd be shiny new avatar of Zaha's face with his eyes popping out and on the verge of tears.

Going to be another tv weekend unfortunately….. for her indoors.
Feeling good about the arsenal game. 1-0 to us and the Reds may be happy with a draw as we scored too many against Porto.
Have to say , the Porto game was something special, against a decent team at home.

How long until the fans turn on Bielsa? Probably got a while yet due to getting them promoted I guess.

Anyone from South America who can live in Leeds for as long as he has should get an honorary knighthood. Those living in Bolivian slums or Sao Paulo favelas probably have a better quality of life.

They started to turn on him last weekend.

#BielsaOut was trending on twitter for quite some time and, as we know, that is the metric that matters now.

#BielsaOut trends pretty much every time they don't win, I think. They use it IRONICALLY, I'm led to believe.

He doesn't live in Leeds, though.

He lives in a flat above Costa Coffee in Beverly.

And how does Bev feel about this arrangement?

Why so desperate to stop us going top? A point (or even three) for Southampton could do us a power of good.

Nobody is desperate to 'stop us going top'. Its just that it isn't actually at all important, relative to our FINAL league position.

I have the teams in the league in three pots, in my head. Those that it is completely unrealistic that we could finish above, those that we COULD finish above, and those that I fell we SHOULD finish above.

'Pot 1' has less teams in it than it once did, but certainly Chelsea, United, City, Liverpool are ever-presents, and others will move into that group as the season progresses.

'Pot 2' is the likes of Leicester, Villa, West Ham, Everton, Palace, Leeds

'Pot 3' is Burnley, Norwich, Newcastle..

Unless you are a total fantasist, you've got to want Southampton (somewhere flirting between Pots 2 and 3) to fail to secure any bonus points against Chelsea.

Generally we want Pot 1 to always win against 2 and 3.

Games between 2 and 3 are tougher and depend on where we are in table at the time!

after a lifetime of laughing when pots 2 & 3 turnover pot 1; and then four years of hoping for the opposite, (usually forgetting); when can i rervert to my natural state?

Obviously, as soon as any team in Pot 3 becomes mathematically unable to catch us, we want them to win every game. Unless they happen to be Crystal Palace.

A point for Southampton is neither here nor there - it could give us a bit of harmless fun, even if only for 24 hours - which would be quite long enough to give us the pleasure of Lineker being forced to show the league table on MOTD! After that, nature can (and almost certainly will) take its course.
