Statement, cheeky and surprising wins for the promoted teams would be well lush.

 

[Acker79]

Four of the teams above us are playing each other. Southampton are due a win (and Chelsea are on a losing streak). We should go top this weekend.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Some big games nearer the bottom, 8 of the bottom 9 are playing each other with Burnley v Norwich looking particularly important for both teams even at this early stage of the season

Norwich win would be lovely there.

I've wanted Burnley to be relegated ever since they went up. Joey f**king Barton.

It really is great to look at the bottom half of the table and not see Albion in site.

A place in the top 4 is guaranteed with a win, that's for sure.

Sadly I think Man U will beat Everton, so we'll need at least 6-0 for top spot. Anything over 4-0 for us vs Arsenal is bordering on overly optimistic IMO

Sound analysis.

If Villa don't win at Tottenham then we hold onto our European placing for at least another couple of weeks.

Dreamland is beating Arsenal and then Norwich - before City come to The Amex...

This. And looking who we could overtake above us to reclaim our European spot

 

[pasty]

Quite like the fact that even if Arse beat us, they won't go above us

Also checking the qualification criteria. If the winners of the FA Cup and the EFL Cup both come from the top 6 teams then 7th can get us into Europe...

Leicester away in the Europa league tonight, will soften them up for Palace...
Expect to see the goon squad back in full force from Sunday unless we win on Saturday.

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

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

Watford at home for them this weekend. If they don't come away from that with 3 points they'll be more than a few limping whippets on Monday morning.

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.

 

[sparkie]

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.

Apparently Barca are sniffing around.

It could be a perfect storm brewing.
