Well we've only lost to them, the current top three and Chelsea since the turn of the year. If we don't moan about that result we might have to move on to just asking questions about the draws and that's not quite as dramatic enough.

It's weird. I keep looking at the table even more than I think I was last season. It all felt quite surreal a year ago but now I'm gagging for us to get another crack at Europe.

It's so soothing to see him pop up all over the shop again. And to remember he's finally locked in for another four years.

I'm honestly just fucking sick to the back teeth of it being the conversation 5 minutes after every single match right now with him and Isak.

When does he slap Havertz round his stupid little ratface in all of this?

If this is accurate it looks like he's well clear: https://www.statmuse.com/fc/ask/most-penalties-won-this-season Scrolling down says our last match was Sheff U so might not even include today's. Might not be long before he's on the all-time list. https://theanalyst.com/eu/2024/01/who-has-won-the-most-penalties-premier-league/ Whilst searching I was interested to discover through Transfermarkt that today's appears to have matched our highest penalties awarded in a PL season of 9 in 1993/94. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/topErhalteneElfmeter/wettbewerb/GB1/plus/?saison_id=2023

Tbf it looks like we threw away our last chance of fighting for 5th with the Palace loss; way too much needs to go right for that to be on the cards now. But just getting Europe will be amazing. I was already prepped for ending up in the Conference League from the start of the season so to be in the driving seat for that and potentially an extra Europa slot after the turbulence we've faced leaves me more than satisfied.

Think I'm really growing to like this guy.

Genuinely not trying to catch people out but why was there a growing fear of him being moved back to the centre? Reminding us of why we fell in love with him when he slotted in there seamlessly on arrival.

Reason #762 I'm ashamed to be bald. Rancid excuse for a top tier referee.

He's found that dog in him.

Wolves and Bournemouth. Top 10 guaranteed.

What a waste of some of our summer budget.

I'll take my only complaint being Ritchie. Just the kind of away performance we could do with.

I'd say we could make a case for Ritchie having one. Worth a go.

And my river freezes for the first time all match. Thanks a lot, Matt Ritchie.

Maybe we should all just chip in and buy him some glasses.

That calm experienced head helping us a ton right there.

How was that not a fucking pull back. He was staring right at it. What the fuck?

Unbelievable. I guess we needed our sacrificial lamb for the week. Fuck Anthony Taylor though. Bet he wanks more dogs than the Madeley bros combined.

Is there anything sexier than us on the counter?

Lovely Spring day in Burnley I see.

The quintessential 'gets shown up a bit if he needs to play a major part for an extended period of time but a good backup' and there ain't nowt wrong with that. We've got much bigger fish to fry before we need him out of our squad (unless a ridiculous FFP-boosting offer comes along, maybe from a promoted club or something).
