Hopefully the filth put Forest to the sword today. Pereira,s team selection will be quite interesting.
Fixtures are basically even with a slight edge to us.
We both play Leeds - even.
Woolwich coming off a midweek CL semi for them, Stamford Bridge for us … even in Chelsea’s diminished state that’s a horrible match for us. Those are basically even.
And then they go St James’ next week while we have Everton at home. I suppose our fixtures are slightly easier but it’s not much, about 55-45 if anything.
All still up in the air, all still to play for.

Depends what you mean when you coin the term "big club". Are we even a big club if they're not? We haven't won the FA cup since 1991, league since 1961, Newcastle have as many domestic honours as us in the 21st century, if winning the EL makes you a big club Sevilla are fucking massive.
I'd consider all 3 of us, Villa and Newcastle big clubs, Newcastle may be financially doped but they weren't as such under Keegan in the 90s and had a title push then, they have a big fairly nationwide following who are passionate about the club, Villa I would class as maybe slightly less "big" in terms of cultural impact, you don't really see many Villa fans out in the wild, I'd say Wolves are probably historically the biggest club from the midlands, but they've pushed on in the 21st century at certain points and put together CL qualification pushes largely under their own steam.
Nah West Ham going down is great. They will be fucked financially. I agree on forest to a degree. Either going is win win.
I'm sure there will be a similar uproar about forest ruining the integrity of the league.Rested everyone
And to think there were posters who really thought Dick would only rotate a couple of players yesterday.
Pereira is banking on West Ham, more than us not catching them.
Had West Ham also won on the weekend he might have made less changes to the starting line-uo.
It's s still a gamble because Newcastle won't be easy on Sunday.

West Ham will be very pleased.
The Irony of those last two words.
Coming from an Irons fan.
They make it too easy.
Pretty risky from them only 3 points above Spam. The final would be wedged in between their last 2 games if they make it so could rest players against Man U and hungover against Bournemouth.Rested everyone
Why do I have this lingering feeling of dread that City will drop points tonight thus allowing Woolwich to fuck us over against Spam...
He meant that ironically as part of the joke.
People forgetting they shouldn't be in the competition. Got in at the expense of palace. Hopefully palace win their trophy and forest get nothing.
We just need City to pick up 4 points from their next 2.
Woolwich can't afford to lose then.
Forest are playing a high risk strategy here.
I am fully expecting them to lose today with that team.
Their remaining games
Newcastle (H): I think this is a 50/50 game.
United (A): I am expecting Forest to lose.
Bournemouth (H): I think this is another 50/50 game.
Forest might just pick up 0-2 points (taking them to 39-41) from their last 3 games, meaning West Ham winning at Newcastle and beating Leeds on the last day would be enough, as they would be on 42 points.
If West Ham beat Woolwich, then both us and Forest are in big trouble!

I think we will draw against Leeds, lose to the Chavs, and beat Everton.
Not sure if that will be enough but would be close.
