Seems the Premier League will review the rules around postponement of matches due to Arsenal taking the piss.

Loaned a first team player out then requested a postponement the next day due to not having enough players <laugh>

FA should have told them to F-off.

Watford v Norwich tonight - if Watford win and open a 5 point gap to us (and better GD) then that’s it for me. The players we have clearly don’t have the mentality for a fight so that’ll be a big gap to close.

Sadly, whatever the result tonight I just can't see us getting anything at Leeds tomorrow. Very much hope I'm proved wrong though.

Probably couldn’t do any worse than recalling Kelland Watts to play…!

whilst the 3 0 to Norwich makes it look as if they're getting some kind of revival going ( they are ) I think it's actually a far better result than Watford winning .

(draw my have been the optimum result)

All irrelevant unless we start winning some soon....

I reckon we need 36 points minimum to stay up - so another 24 from 18 games

6 wins , 6 draws , 6 defeats
or
7 wins , 3 draws, 8 defeats

this would possibly do it

Howay the new signings .....

Agree - I'd rather keep a bigger group of clubs hovering around the bottom, rather than be down to a best of 4 clubs situation. The more at risk of later season collapses due to injury/form/schedule congestion the better.

Watford 0-3 Norwich just highlights to me how utterly pathetic and woeful our team is tbh. Last weekend we played Watford who are in awful form, there was only one team who looked liked coming out with 3 points after 90 mins and it wasn’t us.

We will almost certainly lose to Leeds today as the mentality of the squad is weak and submissive. Some of that due to lack of ability, some due to years of the old ways of doing things and accepting being s***.

On paper we have a better squad than Burnley, Watford and Norwich but that means nothing when the mindset and attitude of pretty much every player on the pitch is so bad. They’re used to losing regularly so have no fight whatsoever, no bottle and just accept it.

We are definitely in the s*** but I don't get why you think we will need 36 points to stay up. What have you seen from Norwich, Watford or Burnley to suggest any of them will reach 35 points?

Pro rata up their points per game so far and they will reach; Norwich 28. Watford 27 and Burnley 25. And that with Norwich's total being massively boosted by those 2 recent wins.

I see it more simply. We are in a 4 team league within a league with those 3 clubs and we just have to win that league. The points total is not important. And with the squad we have, which is as good as any of those 3, if used competently, and with some good signings I see no reason why that should not be possible. My biggest fear at the moment is that Howe is not successfully getting the best out of the players at his disposal. I've seen no sign of improvement since he took over.

Cringeworthy penalty awarded to Liverpool there. Absolute farce
Clydeside & Tyneside
