[Albion] Premier League 21-23/1/22

[Milano]

Leeds looking total toilet by the end there.

Relegation fodder for 2022/23 with any luck.

They’re only on 22 points and they’ve just been beaten at home by the team 2nd from bottom. They looked pretty shit throughout too and seem to be picking up injuries. Bamford has had another set back apparently and James or Roberts are nowhere near good enough replacements.
I seem to remember in CH’s last season we were dreaming of Europe after about 20 games then proceeded to pick up about 10 points in the next 18 games, eventually needing Palace to win at Cardiff FFS. 22 points after 21 games is no guarantee of EPL status next season.

 

[Alonso Moseley]

Are you wanting Southampton to beat Man City ? - I'm not.

I suppose I am, is that bad?

 

[Here'sWally]

Is our midweek match vs Chelsea likely to be on MOTD tonight? Or no?

 

[Jeremiah]

No it's not bad , but a Southampton win will not help us finish above them .

We are not going to catch Man City but we might finish above Saints which = more money for us. Plus it's SOUTHAMPTON !

I'm not sure the relegation teams are as clear cut as they appeared to be a few weeks ago. Brentford, Leeds and Everton are conspiring to keep themselves involved, and come the end of the season it may be tighter than anyone expects

Even with such low points totals for the bottom 4 the teams above havent managed to pull away, which will give hope to the bottom teams. Norwich getting a couple wins on the bounce will have been a huge boost and thery mut feel they can get out of it

Prayer to the football gods:
Please let Arsenal beat Burnley, Liverpool beat Palace, Albion beat Leicester and don't care about Chelski v Spuds.

Amen

The more Burnley win, the more likely it is that Newcastle go down.

At the most it will be the goals, that's all they showed on Football Focus today.

 

[Icy Gull]

I don’t like ANY of today’s scores and results

 

[Swansman]

You are not a true Brighton fan unless you are currently watching Locadia jog around in Bochum rather than watching that plucky PL game.

Leeds losing at home is quite nice... and it's nice to Everton making relegation interesting.

Why, he's not our player anymore.

 

[Swansman]

Once Brighton, always Brighton!

 

[Icy Gull]

Once Brighton, always Brighton!

He was as Brighton as you are

I ony caught bits of Everton, but they looked awful.

How is that not a red card for Armstrong ? At least you cannot accuse the var officials of big team bias .

I thought slow motion made it look worse. Went in with intention to block the ball I thought but mistimed - Im glad it wasnt given a red as thought he looked genuinely like he was trying to get the ball

 

[Sorrel]

I think Man City could drop points every other week from now on and not have a problem winning the title.

Quite agree about slo-mo , however he was high , late and studs up ! Whether intended or not i don't think is a consideration anyway .

 

[Dave the hatosaurus]

Yet another " fan " on the pitch at the end and to make things worse he was seen to get a players shirt by millions on tv !

If an airborne Rudiger with studs up narrowly missing Tariq isn't a red card then neither was Armstrongs.
