There is a real possibility that this season wont finish . The title and relegation could be awarded on points per game. If so we need something from these 2 fixtures as they could be our last for a while. Fulham are currently 0.73 points per game and we are 0.82 .
It is not ridiculous to look at the Leeds game as a must win to stay in the Premier League

Nonsense, the league is not going to be awarded or relegation confined when some teams haven’t even played half the games (even after the Leeds game).

Last season there was uproar at the notion with only 9 games left for nearly every club never mind 20+ games.

I suspect this is yet another attempt to set Potter up for criticism, declaring Leeds must win is ridiculous.

This year something like 55% or 60% of the games need to be played otherwise the season is totally cancelled and PPG doesn't matter.

Whatever the threshold is, it includes Fulham at home.... and that is Potter's biggest ever albion game anyway.

Yes, I too enjoyed the Championship, but it is Tony Bloom we should be thinking of. Relegation will cost us millions and it is not at all fair that he should stump up more dosh so that we can enjoy the Championship.

I agree to an extent however there's nothing we can do about the situation, Tony can change things if he so desires

It was way better value than the PL.

I agree it would be bad for the club in short-term and especially Bloom. But although my answer was a bit tongue-in-cheek, we may get an exciting, top-of-the-table season and get back to the (disappointing) promised land.

Agreed. However purely from a fan's perspective, I believe the championship is way more entertaining and provides better competition for 'clubs like Brighton'. The club is meticulous in its approach to development so there may be a time where we move out of that category. Ask Norwich fans whether last season was more entertaining than this and Watford and Bournemouth. I know their answer.

Have a look on the Watford board the majority can’t wait to get back to the PL.

Yes, agree -it would be exciting, but still a financial loser, even with parachute payments, and we could again have an exciting promotion push. However, there was much optimism at the start of this season that we might at last move away from a relegation battle, so nothing is a given -we could just as possibly do an Ipswich and be nowhere near the PL for years.

I would have hoped that this season the terms and conditions are already agreed so that teams no exactly what the criteria for promotion, relegation and indeed cancellation are.
