The teams around us - big games coming up!

The next two games for everyone.........things could look very different at the bottom after these......  

City (18 points) - Arsenal (a), West Ham (h)


Sunderland (14) - Villa (h), Fulham (a)

West Ham (15) - Fulham (a), Cardiff (a)

Fulham (16) - West Ham (h), Sunderland (h)

Palace (16) - Norwich (h), Spurs (a)

West Brom (18) - Newcastle (h), Southampton (a)

Norwich (19) - Palace (h), Hull (h)

Villa (20) - Sunderland (a), Arsenal (h)

Stoke (21) - Everton (h), Liverpool (h)


If we beat West Ham (which we should), I would be very surprised is we found ourselves lower than 16th after that round of games.  It is possible that teams like West Brom, Norwich, Stoke and even Villa are going to be dragged right into the mix, given current form.  I certainly wouldn't bet against Palace and Sunderland getting clear and well before the end of season dog fight.

We will stay up now as I can't see the club appointing some random weirdo, as Dalman has ruled out the Turk (thank god). We showed against Sunderland that we are a good side and better than those around us

I agree!

Looking at the fixtures clubs like Villa, West Brom & Stoke have, I'm not too disappointed at having a no-pressure game like Arsenal just at the moment.

The FA Cup 3rd round falls between these two sets of fixtures, which will give our new man more time to prepare.......

Results not gone our way today....

West Brom, Villa & Fulham win, Palace, Norwich & Stoke draw.

Only plusses, Sunderland & West Ham lose....big Sam under pressure.....let's get OGS signed up before the Hammers try to hijack the deal..........
