[Football] Burnley, Everton or possibly Leeds

[Iggle Piggle]

As usual I don't disagree with the gist of your post, but have to take issue with the bold bit. The first was a pen, laughably given at 0-2 when Anders Limpar fell over Peter Fear's leg. An absolute joke decision. The second was an absolute thrike from Barry Horne (no keeper was stopping that). The third winning goal though...

It's funny how the mind plays tricks. I could swear he was doing his best Graham Smith impressions that day but watching the youtube highlights from [MENTION=22849]Stato[/MENTION] it's not like he's done an Imperial Leather with the ball for any of the goals.

The team that went down instead? Sheffield United. Given they also went down when West Ham did that dodgy ownership thing with Tevez and Mascerano, I'd forgive their fans if they went down the tin foil hat conspiracy route.

It's going to be Everton, isn't it?

Really conflicted now. Would love it to be Everton, but then the thought of possibly sending Leeds down by winning at Elland Road.....

The pressure is really ramped on Everton now they have to win games in hand

Looks like it now.

I hear you.

After tomorrow's game against Chelsea, Everton have got 2 away games at Leicester and Watford.

They've only won once away all season...against us last August.

A failure to win tomorrow and purely looking at the away form would suggest it's going to be very difficult to survive.

You have to give credit to Burnley for the performances they have put in over the past few games since Dyche was sacked. They deserve to stay up at this stage.

Leeds were always going to be in trouble - second season crisis that is common with promoted clubs. Their defence was always suspect under Bielsa and they have a very soft underbelly - I could see Leeds completely blow it and end up being the team that drops.And if Everton survive and then don't dump Lampard they will be in major trouble next season.

And remember:

Screeding
Landfill
Shit
Concrete
Graft
Render
Ducting

And that’s the Burnley way.

 

[Weststander]

My guess is that it narrows down to Leeds and Everton now.

Leeds have:
Arsenal
Chelsea
Brighton
Brentford

I could cash out my small bet on Leeds going down for a profit but I think I’ll wait a little longer.

A 5 point gap to make up means they need two more wins than Burnley or Leeds get. I cannot see Everton making up those points

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Burnley have to play Villa twice, I wonder how motivated they will be?

 

[Guinness Boy]

The whole "that was a stupid move sacking Dyche, Burnley are screwed now" trope is looking on reasonably dodgy ground right now.

Honourable mention to Leeds though for having key injuries at the wrong time, one of the worst defences ever seen in the Premier League and having an entire stand that can't spell "Yorkshire" with some cards but can luzz them at players and linos - and miss.

 

[perseus]

I think Burnley will regret sacking Dyce, and already have over the missed penalty.

Yep, with three wins and a draw since his sacking they must really be regretting that decision.

Yep. Hands up. I thought it was a massive mistake.

Maybe there was more to it.

Yes, but I can see Leeds possibly not getting any more points from their 4 games of Arsenal, Chelsea, us and Brentford away on the last day and even if they scrape one draw out of that lot Everton only need 2 wins from 6 - doable

The question is do Everton have the bottle for the fight

They have some very good players that will get another Prem position and not get relegated themselves.

Everton, Frank will achieve his objective
