Wolves have done well to pull themselves out of the relegation zone and added a valuable point at Fulham last night. A point that takes them more than a victory above us.
EVERTON vs ASTON VILLA (1500)
Everton go into this one point above the drop zone, i.e. above us. Villa’s focus under Unai Emery is now firmly set on the league’s higher reaches and two competent bosses with points to prove and to gain make for a strong battle at Goodison. Draw.
LEEDS UNITED vs SOUTHAMPTON (1500)
The Saints may anticipate a second go at new manager bounce this season. Leeds too will hope for the bounce, which gives this encounter a distinctly bumpy feel. There’s little difference to choose between these two. Draw.
LEICESTER CITY vs ARSENAL (1500)
A momentary blip has given Arsenal some perspective of the challenge they face if they are to win the title. Leicester aren’t troubled by the title and remain in the relegation mix. An ideal opportunity for the visitors to add a little sunlight between themselves and Man City. Away win.
WEST HAM UNITED vs NOTTINGHAM FOREST (1500)
February six-pointers don’t come much bigger than this. This is an incredible important game that we must win. Forest are now five points ahead of us but are far from safe. They’re increasingly hard to break down and won’t be easy opponents. Paqueta’s still out, but Jesse Lingard might be ready for a Forest return. Home win.
BOURNEMOUTH vs MANCHESTER CITY (1730)
The Cherries are one point above us at kick-off, and will hopefully be two behind us at the final whistle. Man City have to win to keep up their chase at the top. Away win.
CRYSTAL PALACE vs LIVERPOOL (1945)
Palace are on the periphery of those competing to avoid the drop. Liverpool are on the periphery of the Euro places. A bit of a peripheral game then. Away win.
*SUNDAY*
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs CHELSEA (1330)
Spurs are surprisingly still in the top four while the visitors are, even more surprisingly, tenth with a zero goal difference. Draw.
*WEDNESDAY*
ARSENAL vs EVERTON (1945)
Home win.
LIVERPOOL vs WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS (2000)
Home win.
*CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND-UP*
There’s no change at the top, with Burnley still way in front followed by Sheff Utd and the play-off contenders of Boro, Blackburn, Millwall, Luton, Watford, Sunderland and Norwich. The bottom three – Huddersfield, Blackpool and Wigan – are all on 31 points. Perhaps the most intriguing game of the day sees Huddersfield under Neil Warnock hosting Burnley.

It's easy to stay up... Not sure the bottom five or six agree with that.

Teams at the bottom always lose, it's what they do and why it's actually easy to stay up. They are shit.
Would be funny if Dychey finally took Everton down.

Defeats for Everton and Wolves last night, good for us and for goal difference.

Yeah this could be good for us. Two massive games in a row for them and Liverpool on Sunday which they will be well up for. They’ll have to rotate their squad.
I just want us to give it a fucking good go and get at them. We have nothing to lose going up there.

Great result for us. Hopefully it’s a case of after the Lord Mayor show. Come midweek.? As for the Geordies. Still can’t get over that Cup hill. More money will be spent in the summer.

I'm not sure Potter would be a better fit actually. He'd be better than Moyes but that's not saying a lot.
Boehly seems to continue to back Potter but anything but a home win at home to Leeds next game and surely has to go. So that will be a 3rd manager there this season and new one to get all these players with new additions working together. Great to see the chaos there,

The owner thinks it’s the MLB where you can have a crap season re-jig in the off season. Then roll again next time. Potter like Moyes is safe. At least until Summer.

Obviously no searches up at Hampden the IRA loving Irish cunts doing their best to smoke the game out.

Potter did a decent job at Brighton but I think he got a bit too much credit.
His 3 seasons at Brighton he finished 15th, 16th & 9th and he never reached the Quarter Finals of either cup competition in any of those seasons. Only getting past the 4th round once.
Managing Chelsea and even West Ham for that matter brings more pressure and expectation than Brighton and he doesn’t seem like a particularly strong character.

As I said at a time, a club that's used to winning trophies giving the job to someone who's best achievement is a mid table finish, was fucking ludicrous.
