Saints, Brentford, Everton, Wolves, Palace and Fulham wins please.

We’re away from home and it’s Chelsea. Don’t get your hopes up.

I think Forest may be just about okay, though it will be a close run thing. Next season could do for them, though.

They're flaky. What will save them maybe is that everyone, from Palace down to the bottom, is flaky. I really can't call the bottom three this year, even this late.

I would re-watch the incident. It is was fairly clear at the time he was feigning being hit in the head. There is a clear difference between a regretful response and what he did.

And even that incident aside, the feigning of head injuries has gotten out of hand. It is now more common for play being stopped for a false head injury than a real one.

And I was one of the vocal proponents for the strengthening of the concussion protocol and protection of player’s safety. However, I recognise now it is being manipulated by players/teams for advantage that is not in keeping with the spirit of the game or the protocol.

It's really repulsive. If any City player does it, then they should be fucking booed. And I'm never normally in favour of booing anyone wearing that shirt.
It's not quite as egregious, but Jack going down in the box the other night annoyed me, too. He's better than that, and he should know it.

I find Everton tend to win when they shouldn't have a hope and lose when they should win easily.

Same. Perm any three from the bottom nine at this stage.....






Villa will be okay (unfortunately). But anyone below them could be easily dragged into trouble.

villa,spurs,chels,foxes..... wolves /leeds draw.......i reckon.

Palace dropped the ball losing Vieira. I can see them slide into the bottom within weeks.

I've defended Jack from the ridiculous bile he's got from a handful of posters on here. But I can’t, and won't, defend diving from any of our bunch of mercenaries. Jack didn't do himself any favours that night.


And yes; I'm aware that most teams will have players in their line up with "balance difficulties". And the "fight fire with fire" argument. I simply expect better from City players

Apologies if I got that wrong - only briefly caught it and saw he instantly put his hands on his face as in a ‘what have I done’ instead of feigning injury
