They are on the same points as Burnley. And would be 11th only for the very slightest of margins.
Newcastle will probably beat them.

Bury have won away from home more recently than the rags and they're not even a club anymore

Not that surprising when you see where ole got his management credentials from:

with the rags having fuck all chance of beating the dippers in a couple of weeks it means that when they play norwich on the 27th, it’s pretty much nailed on that the loser will be in the bottom 3...

Rags v Vermin.
SKYs biggest game of the last 2 centuries.
I am hoping for the good old classic 0-0. I hope the rags can pull that off, the useless cunts.
Its impossible for them to win.

i hope the rags lose
then, when they play norwich away the following week there will be a serious chance of them dropping into the bottom 3 if they don’t get a result. can you imagine how funny that would be?!!?!!!

Sadly , I think this will be the game that sees them part company with the little troll. Everything points to them getting spanked. So 1-0 to the red shite then

If they do get rid of Old Gunner, I hope that’s not curtains for Woodward too; I feel that Ed has got at least one more managerial appointment cock-up in him, and maybe a useless director of football too.

Woodward appears to be fire-proof he must have some photos stashed somewhere? Rumors that they are targeting the kid at Leipzig as a replacement cannot see him wanting to join the car crash

Woodward is safe, he provides the Glazers with the means to get money out of the club.

Irrespective of their 'Market' value. Which Berk would be stupid enough to buy from the Glazers ?

With the current trend in the US to move online , their shopping malls are slowly becoming defunct.

I cant agree. I hope the rags win but cant see it. In my opinion the vermin dropping points is more important to us than the rags going into the bottom 3.
They are incidental, what they do is irrelevant. Just another mid table bus parking outfit.

Shopping malls are not becoming defunct in the U.S. not sure where you got that from, most malls are running close to capacity. There have been retailers that have gone out of business some of the bigger ones aren't in malls. Some of those had nothing to do with people purchasing online, but markets changing for what they are purchasing. I work for one of the largest retailers in the U.S. at our corporate office and have been here for over 20 years and we are doing better now than we have in the past 10 years. Problem is those retailers that have gone out of business didn't adapt or didn't adapt quickly enough.
