[Albion] Premier League 19-23/4/25

Arse 2 up. Ipswich down to 10. This could get messy.

Horrible challenge by the Ipswich bloke, McKenna does rather lead a band of thugs

I think they could get absolutely battered. Stupid challenge for the red card.

The three that came up have been a total embarrassment this season. May be time to reduce the PL to 18 teams. Fewer fixtures, less fodder.

So, today is one of the very few occasions where I want a Chelsea win.

I'm not accepting any of this "our season is over, so it doesn't matter" talk, as it simply isn't.

The odds are stacked against us given our injury list/poor form combo, yes, but Fulham failing to win today means we're still very much in the hunt if we can find a way to get a win or two on the board.

Can't be having that...Hope Chelsea suffer every match they play

You have forgotten how we stank the PL out in CH’s last season?

There were three teams worse than us Backs up my point.

If the Cardiff signing hadn’t died in a plane crash, there wouldn’t have been imo

We reached 36 points, same number Wolves and West Ham have now, which would've been enough to survive every other season we have been in the PL. The most a team has gone down with in the last 10 years is 37; Newcastle 10 years ago.

The current bottom three are very unlikely to make it to 25, Luton were third bottom with 26 last season. That's the gap these days.

 

[Official Old Man]

Hurst and Greaves playing for Ipswich. Now there's a forward line.

 

[pasty]

Utd 1 down at home to Wolves

 

[London Irish]

Well I guess it’s nice we can relax and enjoy this Fulham performance now. Thanks Fab

 

[pasty]

Chelsea equalise

Not sure how much difference that would make as you’d still have promotion and relegation. Only way would be to make the PL a closed division as the cannon fodder would slowly improve but the same 20 teams would be even duller than the current trend of the promoted teams all being in the relegation mix most seasons.

 

[pasty]

Fulham 1 -2 Chelsea

 

[Wozza]

Don't usually celebrate Chelsea wins, but they can have this one....

But we wouldn’t have the angst of looking bang average against teams everyone else stuffs
