yes but our lowest PL place is 15th so falling below that, which is likely, is something to avoid.
Of course it is, but in the general run of things as a one off thing, does it really matter? It's a really shit season tbh if it's 14th or 17th for me, breaking a record is just part of it. I would imagine Ange will want to try and win all of our remaining games, but looking at our remaining fixtures:
Liverpool away - no points
West Ham away - 3 points
Palace home - god knows
Villa away - 0 points
Brighton home - god knows


Getting relegated is obviously a completely different thing.

Still just above the mighty West Ham so a real 6 pointer next week at the Piggery!.
To think that Potter was being touted as a potential successor to Ange as well. He has a terrible record there.
Whoever takes over both clubs the only way is up really.

3 points away at West Ham? Their annual cup final?

I doubt we’ll win another game in the league this season. But I’ve been saying that since the start of March and we’ve picked up only 4 points in that time, so I’ve been wrong twice which is low for me! 😂

If we're out of the EL I could see us winning the home games, especially if Brighton can't make Europe on the last game of the season.

It's classic Spurs...probably tonk them since there's no pressure and nothing to play for!

As for relegation, we're just lucky that a couple of billionnaires didn't buy the newly promoted clubs and pump money into them last season

If we were ever going to get relegated I think this would be part of the scenario

If we go out of the europa then that's it. Ange will be on the first flight home and the rest will be on the beach.

Pure misery.

37 points is usually enough to be safe nowadays. However, if Leicester had appointed a good manager, or if they could afford to replace Van Nistelrooy, we could've easily been dragged into a relegation battle.

I don't see a scenario where we sack Ange before the last whistle of the season has been blown against Brighton, even if we lose to Glimt.

Not given everything that has gone on so far.

Those 3 wins in February saved us
I was just thinking the same

We are sinking like a stone - it's the worst, extended set of performance I can ever remember. Our league form has never, in the premier league era, ever been this bad. A total new low.

Without those three wins we would be in the middle of a fight we are ill equipped to deal with. Shameful

Nah... Europa is the only reason he's still here. He'll not even come back to the training ground.

I’m going to do my best to try to lift the mood a little bit after that pasting we had at Liverpool yesterday and an aggregate league score from the last 2 games at home to Forest and away yesterday to Liverpool as a 7-2 aggregate couple of defeats.

If we think we’ve got it bad even most of the Spammers on the KUMB website are so far are predicting will turn them over even if we’re half arsed in the league ! I hope they’re right as I’m going and will be in the home end as my Missus is a Spammer. She will be in with our lot when we face Bode Glimt.

For what it’s worth I don’t think we’ll beat the Spamners. I think our best hope of getting something from that game on Sunday is if we put the tie with Bode Glimt to bed early doors and take a healthy 3-4 goal lead from the 1st leg.

They’re even so down because the minority who think they’re winning it won’t even be able to take the smug satisfaction of winning it because they have admitted themselves that they know it’s very low on the list of priorities between two Semi Finals. Usually they’re chomping at the bit to beating us and taking more satisfaction than they are are in any other game bar none. But even they’re putting an asterisk beside it if they bag the 3 points.

So... when does the mood-lifting attempt start?

Yeah you could be right

I'm 50/50 on whether this happens or whether he gets sacked at the end of the season

Mainly because in other years Levy would have acted already, so it's all a bit unusual this time around
