Melou and Byram 25/1

Kabak and Williams 18/1 I like if they both play.

2 shots off target in the first 10 mins seems desperate to bag.

Soyuncu card single at 7/2 is canny on PP.

Bet he mentions the fact that it's "only the second time wuh've lost here this season" despite only taking charge of two home games, losing one and drawing one. I'd also expect a "need wah luck to turn", "saw some positives for sure" and "keep bashing away" in the post-match.

What a result that is

Downes and Molumby 18/1 carded

We've reached that magic point per game marker which more or less guarantees you a place in the league, that feels significant. From Brighton (h), Southampton (a), Chelsea (a) and Everton (a) I'd probably shake hands on 4pts as it stands (WLLD), which would give us 29 from 29. I reckon 34-35 probably does the trick this year, so we then need 2 wins from 8 to (hopefully) make the Burnley game a dead rubber, as I wouldn't fancy needing to go there under pressure and get something.

We never ever ever beat these. 1-1, keep the unbeaten run going.

Spurs can fuck off. Bunch of absolute wasters, including their manager.

I think we all do. 5th to 11th after four games under his expert tuition. If Stoke win tomorrow, 12th.

Ah was theya when wuh drew with Burton

"First half I couldn't be more pleased about the way wuh went about wah work. Wuh had chances to put the game to bed, but wuh didn't take them. It seems like it's been that way since I walked through the door, wuh've not took wah chances in games. And that's the Championship for ya, if you don't take them, ya get punished. Look, wuh've conceded a couple of soft goals and wuh'll look at those and analyse them. I've been knocked down many times as a manager in the twenty odd years I've been going or worrever it is, but I'll take it on the chin, batten down the hatches, roll wor sleeves up and dust worselves doon and get ready for the next one, that's for sure."

I hope Northampton go out of business. Scunthorpe lost 8 of their last 9, sat bottom, and they go there and fucking draw.

Joe Willock against Villa was a free kick and that's a pen

Then you must have a very short memory, because beyond the ~12 or so good games he's strung together under Howe, you probably would do well to count another 12 good ones at the top level since he signed in early 2016. He's contributing well at the moment but the unfit, slouching pointless-long-ping merchant who loves a lunge and a red card is still burnt into my memory. Now we have the ability to go and get someone who still ticks the box marked "range of passing" but who can also run, get about, tackle, win headers and score more regularly, he should be out of the team come the summer and hopefully sold soon after whilst his stock is still high. I think Howe's done well to bomb out some of the other knackers more urgently (Clark, Ritchie, Gayle in particular) but I'd like to think upgrading Shelvey is near the top of the list come the summer.

Isn't it "balls out of the bath" as in "What do you think of the polo neck? Balls out of the bath on this one, Lynn"

Need another Neves and Tiele SOT each for £150. Soyuncu in for my card treble, need Ndidi and Moutinho for £280

I think Craig Pawson must have arrived late to that particular meeting

Klich card just won me £210! Had him with McTominay and Forshaw thanks to Betting Village, wasn't even on the agenda before 77th minute cards for the latter two.

Playing his role for the team well and we're picking up the points. That said - cow's arse, banjo...

WBA fans are absolutely slating Ismael for having them 5th in early Feb, they'll be lucky to finish top half at this rate. I'd love Bruce to get the tin tack from WBA without winning a game, that'd be superb. For once, he inherited a team in the upper reaches of a league and the damage he does will be blatantly obvious as they slide down the league.

His interview quotes on the WBA website include "roll our sleeves up", "that's for sure" and "since I walked through the door". Only missing "dust worsels doon" for a full house.
