Tricky game for us but at least all the bottom 3 have tough games too. All at home though.
 
Guess we’re hoping for a Brentford win. Quite sad that we’re relying on the bottom 3 to keep losing to keep us out.
 
Not good for Ruud, but think fans are mad with how club is being run.

Oh yeah, total discontent surrounding Leicester and it makes it even weirder why any manager thought it would be a good job to take mid season. A bit like when Ole went to Cardiff.
 
Anybody who was seriously getting worried about relegation needs to watch any of the bottom four attempt to defend. Aside from that period just after hiring Amorim, when every opposition set piece went in, we can actually defend a little bit for the most part (as shite as we are at basically everything else) - and that's all you need to stay up.

Harry Maguire is Nesta on steroids next to Wout Faes.

One of the worst PL defenders of all time. Alongside that lad Odoi who used to somehow get starts for Fulham before they were promptly relegated (Parker days).
 
Think with hindsight it would've been best for both Ruud and United if he'd stayed with us for the rest of the season and let Amorim take over in the summer.
 
Still don’t understand why Leicester kept
Faes after his shambolic game against Liverpool
 
How did Spurs get actual money for Skipp and Winks?

EDIT: Just seen that Winks is 30 in a couple of weeks. That's weird as feck. Feels like he's from the Jesse Lingard school of seeming to be about 23 and just breaking into the first team every year forever.
 
With Brentford winning, there’s now a 7 point gap between Spurs in 12th and Brighton in 11th. I know we and the teams around us have a game in hand over the Bees, but that’s looking like a big task to reel in by the end of the season with our motley crew. Bonkers to think that our game with Everton tomorrow is equally crucial for both teams for the same reasons. One of us - quite likely us given form - will still be on the wrong end of that 7 point gap.

Fulham, Brighton and Brentford are all prone to going on stinky runs so there's still a decent chance that any of us could finish top 10.
