Down to +6 after Villa, but that's a satisfactory run for me. We got 4 points from 12 in the equivalents of our last 4 fixtures of the season: Brighton (a) - 3-1 loss Chelsea (h) - 4-1 win Arsenal (a) - 4-1 loss Everton (h) - 1-1 draw Every one of them is winnable this season. I think 9 points is a realistic hope.

Nearly 2 goals a game over nearly 4 years is outstanding like. When the day comes, hopefully decades down the line, that he leaves, it'll be at that pointbthat we'll realise how spoiled we were like.

Ow now. That ent bosting at aulllll bab.

Thought he was fine without pulling up trees. I know the angry lads always need someone to turn on but it was slim pickings today as no one was particularly amazing or shit.

That nonce at CB is their own ain’t he?

Happy to peddle it albeit he said knee not hip as the knock. Suspect “don’t be a silly cunt and cost us the FA Cup and get yourself suspended for a final” is as much as motivator and rightly so with how Barnes has played.

Feels like that's a face saving porky mind

Surprised that Bruce is breaking the 1.

Bey a treayt ti watch Jack Clarke score past them next seyson at the Steydium.

Howe said he’s still not fully fit hence why he’s not in contention to start in his post match.

He looked hungry today, which was good. Seems to me to be a slightly moody player. Sometimes looks miserable and not up for it, whereas days like today he had a point to prove, which made him much more dangerous.

A few “I don’t want to go to sleep” stats. 24/25 - 85 goals, 1.9 per game. 23/24 -102 goals, 2 per game. 1.75 goals per game over his whole time here. (Keegan 1st time - 1.85 Pardew - 1.2 Bruce - 1.1)

Thought the ref had a poor game and I'm not detracting from that. But I'm still dumbfounded by how football continues to allow players (and coaching staff sometimes) to surround refs, scream things at them, wag fingers, and other cynical/nasty things. In rugby, it's not tolerated, there's actual consequences for it, so it doesn't happen. That's respect. Football could stamp it out in 5 minutes if it wanted, but my theory is that the powers that be view the players as their hallowed cash cows and don't want to upset them, even if it's clearly for the good of the game. It grates me virtually every game I watch. Don't let the players behave like morons. Book them for surrounding the ref for example, even if you book half the team at once, and I bet they'll stop it pretty quick. It's not rocket science. There are obviously many other issues affecting refereeing standards, but could we actually try treating them as human beings? Might help them be better.

Disagree. We’d need another RB anyway as we’re going to have plenty of games. One more season with roughly 15-20 starts across all comps IMO. His leadership and on field coaching is massive.

Check Walsall out…

Has any team ever gone into the playoffs with as little momentum?

Nah. We ‘need’ to not lose by a margin big enough to dent our GD. Draw would be a very good result, win would be fantastic.

With Sven back, I wonder if we see the back three we broke out v Arsenal again.

Love how much he shirks the limelight. After the few weeks he's had even the most cynical amongst us wouldn't begrudge him letting the players put him front and centre on the victory photo. Absolutely none of it, straight to the back. What a ledge.

Whoever said Collymore has it spot on like. Not necessarily quality or potential or whatever, but their gait and slightly bumbling-looking style on the ball is so similar.

Barca have some decent regens otw. When was the last time Real produced anyone from their academy?

Yamal jacking Joe Ellington's style.

Genuinely have no idea how anyone outside of Madrid, likes Real Madrid. What an absolutely disgusting club.

Real are taking this well.

I really want Will Osula to be a success here. With Eddie Howe as our manager he has a great chance to do so.
