Arsenal can finish on 77 points 6 out of 6 wins
Man city can finish on 75points 6 out of 6 wins
Tottenham can finish on 80points 6 out of 6 wins

Leciester can finish on 87points 5 out of 5 wins
Leciester need 9 out of 15 points in next 5 games, depending on if others win/draw or lose.


Let me know if i did it wrong, liked the table bud did so nicked it lol

Tottenham fans telling it like it is: We are (beeping) crap!!

Hope LVG gets sacked straight after this shambles.

Could be 5-0 soon.

Nah...Leicester's all the way now. (I do still think they'll lose to Man Utd tho - ) - We need a reaction - today's efforts and display was awful.

I agree with hippesville, Arsenal have the easier run in but the gap is too much now.

I'd blame the players not the managers, sure they make the formation, subs etc but if the player doesn't perform it isn't the managers fault as he can't actually be on the pitch and play.

Still refer to Steve Evans at Rotherham, two promotions but soon as you're struggling you're sacked. Brought in someone worse but hopefully Neil Warnock is up for the job and seems to be doing well from the results.

Would be like Brock Lesnar blaming Heyman for losing a Wrestling Match, i know Wrestling is 'scripted' but say it was real and didn't have Vince saying, you will lose this match and win that match. Managers can't do that, can only advise the players on what to do.

Don't follow football much but hate fans blaming managers for player failings.

Of course managers are liable for the blame when the players don't perform, they have to man-manage players to get the best out of them, rest the when they need, play them when they deserve it, etc. The players play but they have to do as they're told if they want to carry on playing.

Look at Jose Mourinho, clearly he was the problem at Chelsea this season and was having a massively negative impact on the players which caused them to end up a point above the relegation zone. Hiddink comes in and is positive with the players and they start to perform. Players underperforming down to the manager.

It does happen the other way round though, players underperforming no matter what the manager does.

I personally dislike the mentallity of when a teams loosing fans have an uproar and want there manager out, as Zak says at times it is the manager fault but feel the fans calling for thre resignation isnt far, like van gaal, okay i think they need a change but the untd fans repeatedly want him out, critiscizing all the time cannot help.
I also dont think mourinho is his saviour.

As a manager you teach the players how to act/form/bond. The ones that listen for example Leicester, they are first and more than likely to will win the title

For other teams its like watching chickens running about, with no idea how to act, show form or bond as a team. To list a few;

Man utd
Chelsea
C Palace
Swansea
Norwich
Sunderland (90%)
Newcastle (95%)
A Villa (100%)

When the bottom 3 go down I'm 80% sure they won't come back up from the Championship. If the current bottom 3 go down i reckon and its possible 1 of them could go down again to League 1.

At least for Sunderland and Newcastle they will still be a derby! Possible 3 derby's if in play off's.

For Sunderland its all about this weekend vsing Norwich.

3 winning games left for Leicester to be Premier league Champions

Interesting post bud, we lost forest, Bolton, Blackburn, even Portsmouth in L2, who were all decent prem teams, not to mention mbrough, Leeds, Fulham. Cov.
Alot lol.
I do hope if those 3 go down they get back up.
Newcastle did it few years ago.

Also remember Leicester were in L1 for a season admitedly took us 10 years to get back up lol.
Oddly in L1 was when i started taking interest in Leicester tbh... Not exactly for the L1 glory lmao as some believe im a glory supporter
yet my leicester posts on here show otherwise.

I cant remember last time both Sunderland & Newcastle went down together lol

I dont think they will come back up Sunderland or Newcastle. To come back to the premier league now top 2 be Either Middlesbrough, Burnley or Brighton, play off's is so strong tho.

I doubt QPR & Fulham, even Derby will ever come back up.

Look at Blackpool, back to back years relegation.

don't agree here Bud
Sunderland have the money and fan base
along with a team, most on long contracts
we are more than equipped to bounce straight back
this weekend is a the biggest game
in many many years

if we loose we are down

I think Sunderland and Newcastle have proven themselves more than capable of bouncing back up after a drop. It wouldn't surprise me if they were to drop to see them back in the prem in a season or two. Might be good for them to get rid of a few and bring up some from youth.

Biggest question is who would be manager. Do you keep Big Sam or would he want a premier league side? Rafa has a get out clause, would he use that and leave Newcastle needing another manager (they'll need a better choice than the wally with the brolly).

Certainly 3 of those 4 went down because of poor management of the club and without a doubt Blackpool were the worst of the lot so no surprise they went down again. QPR had far too much money thrown at them with no real clue how to use to which told. I think you do Derby a disservice lumping them in that group because they were unlucky last year with the capitulation and this season makes me think it's only a matter of time before they get another chance in the prem if they miss out this season.

all fans are very happy with him

That De Gea fella is something else!

without him Man utd would be in the bottom half of the table, this was Man U's first premier opponent in the Cup and boy were they lucky!

i'd put my house on it they won't win it thou, i feel for West Ham..

Great effort may i say!
