I read that article. It's a good one.

Doesn't matter.
This weekend is going to be another tense affair
I think our loss is the easiest to predict but the other big 3 games are hard calls.
I just hope Guardiola still finds a way to get his team to find form, Glasner will surely want a win before the Europa conference return leg, and Silva and Fulham - he must see that if we stay up, he might get a chance with us.
Blows out weary cheeks.
Summerville is out for West Ham. Should make that easier for City to get the result we need.
If it was any other Big 6 club I'm pretty sure they'd be enjoying it even more.
But the end of the day, this is a scenario playing out that's never been seen anywhere in football before. So we've obviously become the car crash that everyone is slowing down to gawk at out of sheer disbelief or morbid curiosity.
One of the 10 wealthiest clubs in Europe on the brink of relegation not through sanctions, points deduction, financial irregularities etc but through simple, outright neglection of the football team while banking up 100s of millions in unspent PSR reserves.
It's a blatant act of self sabotage.
Such a weird season, honestly.
Summerville is okay. In a good period of form, but the notion his absence makes it easier for a star-studded team like City to get a result just seems incredible.
This isn't really just about West Ham though. Arguably Forest and Leeds are in poorer form, as in results, and we really need both to lose or at least fail to win.
I made my peace with a while ago now. It has just looked on the cards for a long, long time. The Bournemouth game followed by the west ham game was the turning points for me. 2 90+ minute winners in a row. Team looked like they'd just given up back then, for some reason it's only just being picked up now as us being in trouble but we've been in freefall for a lot longer than these past 5 defeats. I just can't see anything other than us going down.
I said we should sign this guy but was shouted down, nevermind
Agreed though, him being out will slow them down a little but their team is actually fighting and together regardless.
Romero and VdV are the most obvious two given how they've played and behaved this season. Cannot wait to see both of their backs this summer.
This is the reason why we will be relegated. Spam, Forest, and even Wolves have players willing to fight for the badge. Vast majority of our squad have given up and could not possibly care less if we go down.
Spence is the one. 100%
An absolute rotten egg. Attitude stinks on the pitch.
Another cheap club signing with limited ability rightly shunned by Conte and then Ange until injuries left no option but to start playing him.
He’s a bell. Has talent and wastes it. He will no doubt waste his money and wind up working at KFC in 10 years. And I guess be booted out of there before long
Tottenham Hotspur's likelihood of getting relegated significantly increased following their defeat by Fulham last time out but Igor Tudor's side still remain one of the favourites to stay up out of the bottom six.
They have a 18.09% chance of playing Championship football next season according to Opta's supercomputer, while Leeds United have the strongest odds of staying up with just a 7.55% likelihood of being relegated.
Despite a recent upturn in form, Wolves are still predicted to be almost certainties for the drop with a 99.90% chance, while Burnley aren't far behind with 99.45%.
Of the remaining two, it's West Ham that are currently favourites to take the third and final relegation spot with 48.77% while Nottingham Forest are given a 26.13% likelihood of getting relegated.

Is Opta programmed by Paul Coyte?
Managed decline.
Fo
Still of the opinion it's one of five other teams so unlikely it will be us ?
Oh and don't forget the Opta stats of 0.67% chance it will be us. Lol
It was pretty easy to see all the incoming defeats from a few weeks back and that we would be in the mire at this point in time.
From being nonchalant and blaise to our chances of relegation just a few weeks ago , that's a pretty desperate post.

This poster has never been nonchalant or blasé. You may have me mixed-up with someone else.
I think you will find that I was calling for Frank to be dismissed before the West Ham game, because I sensed the importance of that match.
I remain hopeful that we will escape relegation but from a position of relative safety we have capitulated. Sad to see.
And it wasn't easy to see all the defeats. That has probsbly surprised most, as in the extent of them.
That one person agrees with you (so far), and given who it is really doesn’t add diddly to your argument.

This is unprecedented in European football, at least during most of our life times. It would be like if Dortmund got relegated based on sporting merit.
It's hard to fathom how incompetent Lange, Vinai, and ENIC have to be to relegate a club with our resources and facilities. It's honestly harder to get a big six club relegated than it is to win the league.
They would, and to a bigger extent if it was another top 6 side.
7 years after being in the Champions League Final Monaco were relegated.
What final were Spurs in back in 2019, 7 years ago ?
Leicester, Villa, Leeds & Newcastle have all gone down in recent years, we are not “bigger” than any of them, certainly not in any tangible way in modern times.
Lange / Levy etc are still to blame, but this is not unprecedented at all.
