Philosophy has gotta be the most over used and pretentious word in modern day football.

I think Leeds also has a decent chance of dropping, would love to see them go anyway

Think Bielsa is closer to the sack than we think

Think he’s closer to being found out and less likely to be able to face the challenges needed.

Leeds are another club with an absolutely brutal schedule thru Boxing Day.

@Spurs, @Brighton, Palace, Brentford, @Chelsea, @City, Arsenal, @Liverpool.

They could easily be in the relegation zone at the end of that run.

Relegation battle between Leeds and Newcastle would be kind of fun this spring.

For me Norwich, Watford, Newcastle and Burnley are the 4 most likely to go down, really hoping that Newcastle are one of them.

Leicester’s December and January could see them in a relegation dogfight, too.

Nah Leicester are far too good to be in a relegation battle.

Do wonder if Rodgers survives the season though, does Leicester tolerate mid-table? Didn’t with Puel. That’s how Rodgers got the job in the first place. A development to watch.

I think they’ll tolerate mid table if they have a run in the EL.

Also winning the cup defeating United and Chelsea will also still be fresh in the memories.

This is the same club that sacked Ranieri a few months after winning the title, I don’t think they’re one for sentiment.

Rodgers cycle is over and he’d have done himself a favour if he left Leicester after winning the club but he’s probably stayed too long now and this season will dent his reputation

Conference League* the way it’s going for them.

Yeah it’s mainly the Dec for Leicester looking at the fixtures. Or should I say “foxtures” :wink:

Southampton A
Villa A
Napoli A (EL)
Newcastle H
Spurs H
Everton A
Liverpool A (CC)
Man City A
Liverpool H

Even the 3 guaranteed points against Newcastle ain’t guaranteed any more with the new manager bounce they’re bound to have.

Agreed but I think his rep will be fine. Gave Leicester a romantic FA Cup win. Left his mark.

No, don’t go ‘hounding’ Hills. I thought “foxtures” was an agreeable pun meself.
