WEEKEND FOOTBALL - 9/12 FEBRUARY 2018

[PTAO?]

Sturbridge is such a crock. He should just call it a day. Wish I could get a job being paid for doing f*** all.

What, like driving a Metro?

WBA are down, surely.

It's not looking good. I think the best thing would be for them to beat Southampton in the cup and give them a good distraction, as harsh as that sounds. We need all the help we can get, and a relegation spot being taken early would be perfect.

They'll need to win 5 or 6 of their last 11 at least to stay up so gotta be gonners now. In a way a Southampton win in the cup might be better as it'll give them extra games.

True. It'll be a shame to see Pards getting relegated

Pundits will still say we were wrong to want rid of him

It's the fans' fault for expecting too much, and the media's fault for being negative.

Didn't he only get the football gigs because he was overly enthusiastic on robot wars

Probably! I didn't mind him on robot wars tbh, should've stuck to that.

Their next 6 fixtures are:

Huddersfield (H)
Watford (A)
Leicester (H)
Bournemouth (A)
Burnley (H)
Swansea (H)

Definitely some winnable games there.

If they beat hudds and get something at Watford then its wide open again.

To be fair, fans complain all the time about the boredom of being one of those clubs just languishing above the relegation zone, and I can understand why you'd get tired of Pulis' football when you see no progression under him. That is of course until you get relegated and realize 15th in the PL is better than 5th in the Championship.

There are some clubs who'd give their right arm to be 5th in the Championship after being relegated.

They probably need to win most of those, not happening. Even if they win their next three they'd probably still be in the bottom three.

I feel like there's a follow-up Sunderland incest joke in there somewhere...but I might leave it to someone else.

Spurs doing the PL proud against Juve. Honestly, even though they trounced Basel I will never be able to say the same about City because they represent all that is wrong with football at the moment.

38 points should be enough according to Gracenote.

40 still needs to be the aim imo.

Any success that Man C have will be entirely artificial, but every team other than Leicester essentially bought success I guess. I still enjoy watching them play. Unfortunately for Spurs it's their wage and transfer policy that mean they won't win a title.

Was going to post that, a good article on the 40 point myth
