The Premier League 2022/23
Leeds' defence was shocking. Really bad. It looks like they would concede every time the ball went in their area.

I saw a bit of Everton on Saturday, Ive seen us, obviously, and now Leeds and i can say there's 3 really poor sides. Its going to go down to whoever gets some luck.

Lovely to see Eddie Howe’s smiling face in the news delighted with the fact that his summer transfer cap of £20m will be lifted considerably due to “money received from player sales”

Something like getting a penalty when the opposition handball in the area?

Only if your league position happens to be in the top 6

One thing I did notice about our run-in:

Liverpool - Beat 2-1
Brighton - Drew 0-0
Brentford - Drew 2-2
Southampton - Beat 1-0
Chelsea - Drew 1-1
Arsenal - Lost
Palace - Beat 1-0

Weirdly only lost to one of our remaining 7 opponents including 3 wins. So just repeat those results and we'd stay up easily...

I’ve reconciled myself to the Championship and looking on the bright side. I might actually enjoy watching us play again and might be a chance of going to an away game! Win Win for me.

Only gutting thing is looks like Sheffield Utd will replace us !

Thank you for saying that RG. I've been feeling similar but was keeping it secret!! Hasn't been much fun this year so far anyway.

I would sooner finish 17th in the premier league than win the championship.

How about we finish 17th, 15th, 12th then go down or relegated this year, championship title, 12th?

23 years outside the top flight. After that every season in the prem is a bonus. On a different note do you think we can win three more matches? Will that be enough? And which three games would be most likely.
