Their game in hand is against Chelsea though. Tall order.
Sorry I meant to say their next game of their last 9 is at home against West Ham. That's the important one now. Infact 6 of their last 9 games are at home and not against top 6 sides other than chelsea and southampton. Their three away games are Burnley, Sunderland and West Brom. Now compare that to QPR and Burnley's run in.
I actually think he's a bit of a legend myself and loved his interview post chelsea when he had to defend what looked like the indefensible. Speaks so much sense. Absolutely spot on with the reactions of fans and chelsea players to the matic tackle reaction. Really hope he keeps Burnley up. Proper manager, deserving of proper plaudits in the big money league.

Every player ever making a split second challenge must now think what an ulta slow HD replay will show after??
Take a chill pill and watch it in real time. Also notice the crowd behind the goal don't react at all. Even moreso terry, Ivanovic and Zouma try to calm matic down cos they don't have a clue why he's reacting like he is, as they saw noting wrong with it. Even a positive reaction from Ivanovic, when Schackell piles in and let's him know Barnes did nothing wrong, when he feels chelski might now try in the aftermath, try to get the ref to send Barnes off.
I've watched it a hundred times probably. He got the ball first, eyes on the ball only and his motion takes him through to the point of contact. Not his fault Matic's playing foot was grounded in a 50/50 challenge, so the slightest contact would bend the ankle over. I've been on the receiving end of such tackles, got injured enough to leave the field of play and not held it against said opposition. Zero intent IMO.
If there was the slightest hint of intent all 10 outfield chelsea players would have surrounded the referee within a second like babies.
Given the fact the FA decided to take no further action against Barnes, given the video evidence, would suggest Dyche was correct in his analysis.

Anyway back to relegation:
Leicester have the easiest run in of the 3 and most clubs just above the drop. Their game in hand is very important and should they win that, they will be right back in the fight.

It's cos he's been shouting like a mad dog for 90+ minutes I actually think he's a bit of a legend myself and loved his interview post chelsea when he had to defend what looked like the indefensible. Speaks so much sense. Absolutely spot on with the reactions of fans and chelsea players to the matic tackle reaction. Really hope he keeps Burnley up.

who passes a ball like that? The jump as well? What is he a ninja, who jumps like that?

Even so Kevin Gallen clearly out of ideas, Huddersfield had a Fellaini looking guy and short mixed race guy in the middle that we let control the middle of the park.
Numbers TF got to clear out and get a Koeman type manager in that can start to fix from the top down.
