I'm convinced we beat Ipswich and Chelsea, and that if we need points versus Everton to get the job done that we'll get them as they have absolutely nowt to play for. That'll do it IMO. We're long overdue a result at Brighton too and they've been very patchy this season and will have no Pedro on the day. Bad weekend for us but it's still in our hands and I think we'll do it.

We did, circa 2013-2016.

Romero is as horrid a bloke as he is a defender.

Wrong thread... edit again: I'd love us to rescue Kulusevski from this nightmare Spurs side

A competent, organised manager probably gets their current squad top half, at very least I think. This stupid anti-defending lark he preaches makes them look even worse than they are.

Vicario again FFS. Fucking shit cunt

That Spurs keeper has to be a stooge. Thankfully CW is offside there.

I hope Spurs go bust me. Horrid, useless club.

I was just about to make this point too, I wouldn't be surprised. Still expect them to go back down but perhaps the solid foundation means they can compete more. It worked for Rafa although in much less of a closed shop.

Was at Ashington today for the Stan win, absolutely honking game of few chances but they saw it out well in the later stages. Great result.

I could just about accept the "bringing him on for his experience" narrative if we were closing out a tight game, where Osula's wildcard nature probably wouldn't make sense. But the last three times he's come on, we've been 3 goals up, 5 goals up and 3 goals down. You could have stuck a lad from a Sunday morning team on who'd won a raffle and it wouldn't have affected the outcome. Therefore, I don't understand why you wouldn't use those scenarios to give Osula a taste of it and to think of the future.

Goes into "just win" category. Would love to see us put them to the sword heavily but if you offered me 1-0 with an o.g I'd take it right now.

Villa are good. Still cunts though and I wish them every misfortune possible. Today, in isolation, was an absolute disgrace of a performance. We can afford the odd one of them but need to get it back on track next week. I don't understand why we waited to be trailing before we made changes, as the goal was coming for the entirety of the second half. Bruno and Joelinton had stinkers in there and it was a stark reminder that Trippier and Schar can get absolutely ruined by good pace and movement. Virtually everyone had a bad game and we need to move past it quickly. Stick a handful past Ipswich and all will be well, especially as City play Villa and someone has to drop points.

Bruno overhitting every single though ball today has been bloody infuriating.

Two situations now where the game has been absolutely sewn up and we still won't see him any minutes.
