Paullow Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Looks at the state of that table only 4 months ago: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59918928 I still can't believe it's only a really meaningful match for Burnley, it always felt like a massive fixture, and unlikely that we would be more than 2 or 3 points clear of them at this stage, but instead, we actually have an outside chance of 10th. Madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe to say we've not looked back at since the Leeds match which followed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Well since its raining now and cloudy, it reminds me of playing Palace in 95 last game when they needed a win to stay up - also in terms of how much of a chuff I give about whether our opponents do or dont.

UncleBuzzcocks Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Be best if Leeds lose, I wouldn’t like to see our fans goading Burnley’s. Plus Burnley would be an easy fixture for us next season and Leeds would be a v. tough one for the Mackems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Assuming we win today we need: Brentford (H) to draw or lose to Leeds. Brighton (H) to lose to West Ham Leicester (H) to lose to Southampton and a 20 goal swing in GD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 It's mad how, mathematically at least, every club can either gain or drop a place today. Chelsea will finish 3rd (or there will be investigations) but every other club could move (up or down) in the table. For us, Leicester are obviously out of the question, so it's realistically 10th at best, and we also can't finish above Brentford without Leeds staying up, if you are of that persuasion. Hopefully we'll just win the match and if we finish 12th as we currently are, then that's still amazing. We probably shouldn't finish any lower than 13th given Villa have to go to City. An exciting afternoon ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The authorities really need to stamp down on pitch invading, we can't be worrying about players and managers being attacked. They should be making it abundantly clear that they will do all they can to identify everyone entering the pitch and ban them. If one person does it that's what happens, if a thousand do it seems they're just let off unless they headbutt someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What stick is that - you can almost hear him now, 'ah finished 12th too, ya kna'. Last year we could have realistically finished anywhere from 12th to 17th, fixture order was in our favour, and we finished as high as we could, which was probably the opposite of a blessing in disguise, aka papering over the cracks.
