The good news is if we get stuffed by Manchester United no-one will notice as we are one of the warm-up acts to the biggest game in the whole wide world ever.

The bad news is if we stuff Manchester United no-one will notice as we are one of the warm-up act to the biggest game in the whole wide world ever.

Things kick off with a funky Friday night game. I like these, and this one could be a decent game with both struggling teams likely to be eyeing this as one to win.


Friday 8th November
Norwich City v Watford (20:00)

Saturday 9th November
Chelsea v Crystal Palace (12:30)
Burnley v West Ham United
Newcastle United v AFC Bournemouth

Leicester City v Arsenal (17:30)

The 12 teams below us have a combined total of 12 wins from their last 60 games.



Oh and I wondered why 'The Olympic Stadium is shitehouse' was getting an airing last weekend.
The answer being no wins in 5.

I'm pretty sure the Hammers fans were feeling quite homely after an excellent start to the season season. :lol:

Even if we assume you need 40 points, I've always thought 36, for safety then we are 29% of the games through the season with 38% of the points we need for safety.

Funny how things turn out. When the fixtures first came out I was quite happy to note that by Boxing Day we would have played all the top 6 away from home. But then neither Leicester, and certainly Sheffield Utd were not included in that thought :lolol:

Barry Glendenning in yesterday's Football Weekly gives us a pretty good chance.
Predicting a lot of anger at Old Trafford, which would be nice.

Especially when it dawns on them that they signed the wrong "Best English full-back" after all.
Not to mention wasting an extra £30m-£40m on the second best English centre back.

Haha, beat me to my schoolboy error edit, damn you!
You might want to re edit as I just assumed you were initially talking about:-

If Albion win we won't need any help from teams like Chelsea to help us move up the table.

Indeed, especially as we're playing lower in the league opposition #teamslikeunited

Still pinch myself sometimes when looking at us, our position in the table is there on merit, not a couple of flukey results. And that's taking into account the Villa and Burnley results where we could have done better.

We go to Manure with a real chance of pulling off some points, imagine saying that only 2-3 years ago.

Truly an exciting time to be an Albion fan.
