Obvious opportunity for making the change was over the World Cup break. At this late time, Dyche is really their only option.

Conflicted. Rather like Dyche. Want Everton to go down.

Looks like this is it. Showed interest last summer and the opportunity has presented itself. Half-wish Leeds fans had attacked Jack Harrison’s car instead.

Or a yellow card.

Doesn’t really tell the story. The two weeks before the dates shown are equally as busy for them. 25/1 Forest 28/1 Reading 1/2 Forest 4/2 Palace 8/2 Leeds

Did a crossword puzzle yesterday. 8 down “Casablanca crook”. Stars a aligning. It’s a sign.

Why were they hounding Gordon’s car in particular? Was he just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or was he singled out? Didn’t he commit a foul on the edge of their box? Was that it? Really?

Maybe Chelsea surrendered multiple goals in cup games? If they surrendered goals in Champions League games that would bump up their average per game.

No obligation or option to buy based on performance?

As someone that largely matches this caricature, I’ll add a couple of comments. * Miggy’s form this season has been incredible. I don’t think that anyone could have anticipated it. We wouldn’t be in the top four (IMO) without his goals. Still, I think we would be better off if we had somehow managed to sign Diaby. Don’t you? * I think that we could finish in the top four without Maddison. We’d much more likely to do that if we had him. Hell, we’d have a shot at the title with Maddison. He’s that good. It’s not that we can’t or won’t be successful without those imaginary signings, it’s that positive outcomes appear more likely.

Will be rooting for Forest to win. That said, I want Man United in the final. (I contain multitudes.)

Been good recently. Deserves praise when he does well. He’s done the job this month.

What?

Hope it’s not long Covid. Been there; it is awful. Tired for months.

Needs to start. Wilson, Miggy, and Willock all need a rest. Move Joelinton to midfield start ASM, Isak, and Murphy. They’ll do Southampton at home.

Man United have like 4 games in 11 days starting tomorrow. Good luck with that.

Hope they stay up. So many others down at the foot of the table I’d rather see go down.

Every game. He’s been absolutely phenomenal since the World Cup. He’s been good all season, but he’s actually been better.

“Four goals last year, three of them deflected…”

Ah, I think you are right. Thanks! NUFC 1 Wolves 0 NUFC 2 Leicester 1 NUFC 1 Palace 0 Norwich 0 NUFC 3 NUFC 0 Liverpool 1 Man City 5 NUFC 0 1 NUFC 2 Arsenal 0 2 Burnley 1 NUFC 2 3 NUFC 2 Forest 0 4 BHA 0 NUFC 0 5 NUFC 3 City 3 6 Wolves 1 NUFC 1 (ASM’s last start) 7 Liverpool 2 NUFC 1 8 NUFC 0 Palace 0 9 NUFC 1 Bournemouth 1 10 Fulham 1 NUFC 4 (Sudden flip) NUFC 5 Brentford 1

Now that Gerrard and Lampard have been sacked, I’ll have more energy to expend needlessly hating Spurs.

That shift you see this season where xG For starts exceeding xG Against more or less overlaps with ASM’s injury and absence from the starting 11. Just saying.

For them and for me.
