[Albion] Premier League 16-17/4/22

[Bodian]

Yes, I think so too, but we'll have our work cut out catching Leicester if they can capitalise on their games in hand, so if not a draw, then a Leicester win, for me.

Surely a Saudi win - to reduce Leicester's chance of capitalising on their games in hand?

But give them a chance of overtaking us? No.

Yep, this.

If we win enough, Newcastle won't catch us up. But we can't win enough to overtake Leicester without them losing plenty. I'm looking up not down!!

Two.

 

[Motogull]

Today's fixtures are really annoying when you look at the next few games.

We want to maintain position.
We want to maintain position above the Wankpuffins.
We want to see Everton bricking it.

A home win on Thursday please.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Would rather see Leicester win today and Newcastle beat palace to keep both behind us.

I expect Leicester to start pulling away with their 4 games in hand, quite content battling for the 10th

 

[birthofanorange]

Blimey, Burnley leading - didn't see that coming.

 

[birthofanorange]

Cornet misses a pen to have made it 0 -2.

 

[Dick Head]

I hope Maupay was watching that Cornet penalty.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

If Burnley want anything from this game they are gonna have to start playing a lot better.

The last few crosses they have put into the West Ham box have ended up being fantastic through balls to one of the West Ham attakers.

Cornet looks a player though!

 

[pasty]

West Ham equalise

 

[dazzer6666]

Free header at a corner for BDB….ballooned safely high and wide. Nothing changes

 

[Weststander]

Anyone else watching NU v Leicester?

The home team have been crap. A load of midfield hustlers trying to stem Leicester attacks, hoofballs to Wood who seemed intent on diving in the box and everyone trying to pass to Saint Maximin.

The crowd going wild when they get rare corners, that’s it.

When the Saudis really start spending, I see ALL these outfield players squeezed out, other than him.

 

[Mackenzie]

Newcastle 2-1 Leicester

 

[dazzer6666]

Toon grab a last-minute winner

 

[birthofanorange]

Late winner for the Saudis.

 

[Gabbafella]

Newcastle nick it at the death.
What an awful game. Stop start, scrappy, poor from both teams. Neither team deserved to win but I guess it's the better result for us, keeps Leicester within reach.

Mate of mine (a Geordie) was at the game…..just messaged to say it was more like a pre-season friendly

With the almost inevitable winner.

Talkshite’s Graham Courtney summarised this with: “A fine performance by Newcastle”.
