We need to match or beat (by one game) 3 out of 6 teams. over the last 6 games only 2 teams have a better record than us. we are in form, not just results but putting in solid performances. we’ll be fine

Norwich Brentford Everton Leeds survive by the thinnest of margins, possibly GD from Everton

Would those houses and hotel fit the current SJP site?

they’ve got volume of teams in their favour, need 6 teams to do better than them which is unlikely and they have match winners who will pick off a few teams before the season is out. don’t see them doing much next year though, would be surprised if Stevie G makes it through the season

level on points with Howe if they lose today. Hare and tortoise

Or Given

30 yarder top bin today

fucking love the Tornados as well so you’re probably onto something there

will always be a F14 guy. we had one fly overhead at the Blue Lagoon in Fourstones mid 90s. Never had anything close to being as loud as that was

You want a foot locker uniform then?

Not quite that far, but BHA will know that if they play relatively nice now there will lots of opportunities a few years down the line when we start the City/Chelsea production line of players

Look at Arsenal's league placings - up until 2019/2020 there is 0 argument that they are one of the big six in English Football https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-arsenal/platzierungen/verein/11 Unfortunately the same can be said of Spurs over the past 10 years https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur/platzierungen/verein/148 You'd definitely say they (Spurs more so) are at risk of being replaced in the 6 but in today's conversation they are there

I think you've spelled Dummett wrong there

This could be the best ever Love it or List it episode

Get a win on Saturday and with the other games we could be above Everton, Leeds and Brentford. don’t see four in a row happening but we are in form. I doubt any team has gone down after winning four in a row before

Whilst we have the big six fighting against us now there are bigger players who will help our cause in years to come - sponsors. Once we get a couple of names through the door they will be making sure that we are high profile as it will benefit them. Spurs go bye bye from the big boys table as it only sits six

I will, I almost went full blown bring Rafa back after Watford but just about held it back. Not really to do with Eddie, more the pull of Rafa. There is no doubt that to the naked eye we have had a slow start under Howe and have dropped some winnable points (Brentford, Norwich, Watford) but when you look back on the improvements and where we are today you can see the hard work that has gone on behind the scenes that was needed to flush away the turd of Bruce and there is now nothing between the performances of the managers who came in at the same time (Gerrard, Smith) and I would expect by the end of the season the stats will show that we got the right man

Not the worst game to have to play Krafth in if Manquillo is out short term. If we'd lost against either Everton or Villa then we'd be looking at this game being one we really needed something from, however a loss now wouldn't be the end of the world. Bigger games coming fast after this one. Having said that it would be nice to give a top 4 team a bloody nose, and who better than the porn barons and Sugar's bitch. (For a bonus point there is bound to be a forced photo opportunity with Mandy and Brady in the press)

He’s one point behind Gerrard now in the battle of the new bosses

When you think about it our record with Man U has been completely nuts. we’ve been destroyed on multiple occasions, whacked 5 past them, numerous 5 goal plus games, times we’ve played them off the park. very little consistency to it

I think the amount of draws we have skews this slightly, typically teams at the bottom lose a lot but pick up 9 or so wins from somewhere (last year was a complete anomaly). Typically you'd expect that form the 9 games we have drawn so far that 2 would be losses and 1 or 2 would be wins. 6 wins with no draws is likely to be enough, or depending on the who they fall against 4 wins and 4 draws

I recall not so long ago when a match thread struggled to get to 3 pages, we now have a pre-match thread at 3 pages within one day and 4 days before kick off.

Even with the more than decent performance and excellent result,2 things remain true 1. John Ando Anderson is still the most miserable bugger on the planet (never change Ando) 2. There is little better than a home crowd berating an opposition player with a loud cheer following a slice

There were 3 worse sides than us under McLaren when we went down (on paper). They are in a terrific stink at the moment and probably need 4 wins / 12 points to be safe. Looking at their fixtures and they don't have many (on paper again) easy home games left so they need to pull their collective fingers out pretty damn quickly. Brentford are the ones to drop though, so Everton will be safe unless 2 of the current bottom three put a run together

And I got dogs abuse for suggesting we brought in him at the beginning of January.
