" Relegated to the Championship "

Sat May 13, 2023 3:58 pm

Southampton have been relegated from the Premier League after their 2-0 defeat at home to Fulham.

They will play Championship football next season for the first time since 2012.

Joining them in the second tier is likely to be two of Leicester, Leeds and Everton after Nottingham Forest got an away point at Chelsea to move three points clear of the bottom three.

Leeds drew at home to Newcastle earlier and are one point from Everton, who are in safety at the moment. They play Manchester City on Sunday.

Leicester, two points from safety, host Liverpool on Monday night.

Sure to be a few good 'uns leaving, Jules :thumbup:

Always a good trip and I wouldn't bet on them going straight back up with what is left...

Leicester and either of Leeds (6 points for us :laughing6: ) or Everton now looking likely to fill the other two spots and I'll be pleased if future Bluebird manager and Pontypridd boy Steve Cooper stays up, if not his wretched club... :ayatollah:

Cooper has done a great job again :ayatollah:

I also don't like the club he manages very much, but I'll give a tiny bit of credit to them. The British media have been desperate for them to sack Cooper all season, even though he always had the fans on side, so fair play to their owners for sticking with him.

Great match to have, both clubs will take massive followings and big home crowds

Southampton will lose a good few of their players next season - They won't want championship football .
Ward Prowse will be the 1 most clubs will go after and the same with Leicester if they go down with some of their midfielders .

Leicester and Forest for the drop as it will be 2 local away games for me.

A preference I do not mention in my local.

Think Forest will survive to Evertons cost.

Can't see Forest going down.

Assuming that Leicester lose to Liverpool tonight, Forest will be three clear with two to play.

Forest 34pts
Everton 32pts
------------------
Leeds 31pts
Leicester 30pts



Forest remaining games - Arsenal (h), Palace (a)

Everton remaining games - Wolves (a), Bournemouth (h)

Leeds remaining games - West Ham (a), Spurs (h)

Leicester remaining games - Liverpool (h), Newcastle (a), West Ham (h)


Don't think Leicester will stay up and can see Leeds joining them in going down.

Watched the Leicester game tonight against Liverpool and there's not a chance they're staying up.

It may be mathematically possible at the moment but, like they said on Sky, they'll probably have to win their last two games against Newcastle and West Ham to stay up. Which isn't going to happen.

They seem to have zero confidence and their defending is beyond awful.

They'll definitely lose at least Maddison, Barnes and Tielemans in the summer when they get relegated.

Those were the same 3 players - I was thinking at the time of my post - Before tonight's game ...
