Released Mandleson documents contain surprise revelation: This weekend's PL Match schedule (6th - 8th February 2026)

Premier League
Friday, 6 February 2026 20:00
Leeds United v Nottingham Forest
Venue: Elland Road
League Positions: 17 v 16
Current Forms: 19 v 27

Is it possible for a team to be involved in a "real 6-pointer" when they're not actually playing in it? Seems like it's true. I've seen (valid) arguments for either team to win for "our  benefit", but that simply makes one of these teams more difficult to catch if we (Sullivan & his cronies are actually all that matter) really want to stay in the PL. In reality we need both teams to drop points and the only way that happens is a:

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur
Venue: Old Trafford
League Positions: 4 v 14
Current Forms: 37 v 26

In an ideal world, both teams would lose this game. Sadly, in the world in which West Ham and it's fans live lacks such quantum qualities. Carrick's cat still seems to be bouncing about and I strongly suspect it will continue doing so after this game. The stats seem to support that view.

Prediction: Home Win

Premier League
Saturday, 7 February 2026 15:00
A. F. C. Bournemouth v Aston Villa
Venue: Dean Court
League Positions: 11 v 3
Current Forms: 33 v 27

Both teams have a similar current form and Bournemouth are no pussies, but I feel that Villas desire for a Champions League spot will carry more venom than The Cherries drive for mid-table mediocrity,

Prediction: Away Win

Premier League
Saturday, 7 February 2026 15:00
Arsenal v Sunderland
Venue: Emirates Stadium
League Positions: 1 v 7
Current Forms: 24 v 30

Can anyone or anything stop the Arsenal finally getting their hands on the title? It does seem theirs to lose at the moment, so we can only hope they start going all "spursy" if only to keep the table interesting (and the sponsors interested). Sunderland have a fight about them which I feel will unsettle Arsenal, but don't think they have enough of a punch in them to come away with anything here.

Prediction: Home Win

Premier League
Saturday, 7 February 2026 15:00
Burnley v West Ham United
Venue: Turf Moor
League Positions: 19 v 18
Current Forms: 14 v 27
I'm sure we all know the old adage about "if you want a win, just look for the game when you're playing West Ham", so I won't add to the pain by repeating it. That being said, we really do need all 3 points here...as do our hosts. Can we do it? Well, last weekend's 1^st half against Chelsea suggests it's within our capabilities, but, equally the 2nd half of that same game displayed, for all, our ability to self-destruct. We do, though have a better current form.

So. Will we? Won't we? Will we? Won't we? Follow the gourd or follow the shoe? Bob Hope or no hope? Head says a draw, but what little hope remains in my heart just about tips the balance (Although you just know that one of their acquisitions: in the January window will suddenly find his form/scoring boots again). Still, just - but only just - an:

Prediction: Away Win

Premier League
Saturday, 7 February 2026 15:00
Fulham v Everton
Venue: Craven Cottage
League Positions: 9 v 10
Current Forms: 21 v 19

No, I don't really care either about this game; either team could snatch that last European spot, but, equally either team can watch their season fizzle out into mid-table oblivion (Oh! How much would we love to be in such a position!!!???). As for the result?:

Prediction: Home Win

Premier League
Saturday, 7 February 2026 15:00
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Chelsea
Venue: Molineux
League Positions: 20 v 5
Current Forms: 10 v 30

Wolves seem to play well against London clubs...oh, no. Wait! That's just against one London club. Us. With "London" on our badge/crest, so we must (MUST) be from, err, London. Not sure they've actually strengthened in any position across the side and have sold their main potential goal threat (to a rival). Can only really see one outcome here:

Prediction: Away Win

Premier League
Saturday, 7 February 2026 17:30
Newcastle United v Brentford
Venue: St James' Park
League Positions: 12 v 8
Current Forms: 6 v 24

Intriguing game, this. Man City battered Newcastle in the League Cup earlier in the week and their current form stinks. Brentford seem, let's be frank, to be holding their own in the league. I suspect a feisty tie, with one or two cards shown, but the spoils to be shared.

Prediction: Draw

---

Premier League
Sunday, 8 February 2026 14:00
Brighton & Hove Albion v Crystal Palace
Venue: Falmer Stadium
League Positions: 13 v 15
Current Forms: 15 v 6

Games like this are why Sundays were invented. The whole nation will be glued to their boxes, unable to even go for a piddle or get another beer in while play is in progress. Not. The Eagles descend on the Seagulls' nest, as one copy editor never wrote. No change in the table pecking order after this game, not even a claw draw.

Prediction: Home Win

Premier League
Sunday, 8 February 2026 16:30
Liverpool v Manchester City
Venue: Anfield
League Positions: 6 v 2
Current Forms: 34 v 34
Listen up! Media pundits will incessantly have you believe that this is the game of the weekend. Don't be turned by their siren song. That game took place yesterday and as a result of the result, we'll all either have the right fucking hump or be displaying the glimmer of a smile. This should be Liverpool's game, purely due to home advantage, but a little bird tells me it won't be goal-less for the visitors:

Prediction: Away Win

My acca. How did I do last week? Thanks for asking. Came out with a massive 13p profit. That's what well (or even simply) managed cash-flow looks like, Sullivan.

Chelsea (Away @ Wolverhampton Wanderers )
Manchester United (@ Home to Tottenham Hotspur)
Aston Villa (Away @ A. F. C. Bournemouth)
Arsenal (@ Home to Sunderland)

Total stake: £16.50
Potential returns: £66.43

Shame we didnt want that dress wearer

If Leeds are safe by the last game then maybe that makes that last game easier for us? Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise?
Forest look like they have 3 winnable games in their run. They also have Europe. 
I suppose that means we have to win 6 games or 5 and a draw. 
it would be miraculous if we can achieve that. But it’s clear now what we have to do. 

 

It was clear what we had to do when the current twat took over, it made very little difference but at least we got to see his magical inverted fullback system

[Iron Duke]

Our only hope is if Man City get deducted 60 points

[Massive Attack]

Palace have got Burnley and wolves after this weekend

We're fucked.

[goose]

Palace have got Burnley and wolves after this weekend

[Massive Attack]

Okay so we’re not catching Leeds, down to forest or maybe palace.

If Palace are seriously looking over their shoulder, then so are Spurs. Their have a nasty run coming up starting tomorrow lunchtime..

[Massive Attack]

Unless we start capitalising on good situations ourselves it'll all be irrelevant by then.

Some on here were crying that we didn’t get Dyche. 

[stubbo]

The game of interest tonight aside this weekend is Palace for me. 

Has the window got them a striker to cover the loss of Mateta....or are they now a rudderless ship who fall like a stone?

We need a team to fall off a cliff really. Spurs seems unlikely though they have the injuries to cause it. But Palace feels the shout.

[Mad Ferret]

Win tomorrow and we’re 3 points off Forest.

Right back in it.

[twoleftfeet]

We arent catching Leeds.  They can win at home
we aren't catching forest duchess will grind out enough wins.

 

Well that’s that then, no point in watching tomorrow, mad dog has spoken. 

[Massive Attack]

If it stays the same, a draw against Burnley tomorrow does very little for us. Has to be a must win then we still have a chance.

[Mad Dog]

We arent catching Leeds.  They can win at home
we aren't catching forest duchess will grind out enough wins.
 

[Massive Attack]

The last thing we fucking needed. For our sake Forest have to get back in to this.
