Last two transfers have been Lowton (17) and Dallas (17). Those were due

Neto is class too. It'll basically be Neto vs Poundland.

Ashley not sacking Bruce could be seen in either a good or bad way - the takeover isn't coming so he's stubbornly sticking with his pal, or the takeover is so close that he'll leave it as their problem.

Also have to hope that Fulham peak too soon. Every year there'll be a team who puts together a run of form but sometimes it comes too early - maybe facing Spurs, Liverpool and Man City consecutively can end that.

Had us and Fulham both on 32 points in the predictor. Feel like I was being harsh on Fulham too

FPL in the news today because of how Grealish's injury was leaked. The Twitter account that keeps track of Premier League players' FPL transfers reported that lots of Villa lads had sold Grealish, that info got to Brendan Rodgers and Dean Smith is fuming.

Bruce is safe until he's not safe. I don't think a gradual loss of faith will be reported, Ashley will just wake up one day, his cornflakes will taste different and he'll sack Bruce.

The problem with this must-win game is that Wolves won't lose to us

Woodman, Lascelles, Fernandez, Clark, Lewis, Dummett, Manquillo, Hayden, Shelvey, Hendrick, the Longstaffs, Ritchie, Murphy, Gayle An upper-Championship base to start from. Not that it ever should've come down to this.

In trying to deny he'd gotten more negative, Kennedy then said that he thinks relegation ends this which, to me, is a hugely negative update

It's nice to remember that we have some pretty good players like ASM, Almiron, Willock, Hayden, Wilson. But then there's also Krafth, Darlow, Shelvey, Hendrick..... We have to get a win from either Wolves or West Brom, basically.

Almost forgive Solskjaer for the Rob Lee foul now.

It's not true but the online reaction to Karen Carney criticisms has been like that.

If we know we're losing, I'd rather it be a headline-grabbing 9-0 which Ashley reads (probably upside down). Ideally Darlow scores a few own goals, just to force Dubravka back in.

You're right but apparently we're not allowed to say that, as any criticism at all MUST mean people are sexist.

Cheers. Anything for the takeover thread?

Most Tuesdays I'll find MNF online just to watch the Carra and Neville bits.

In terms of real news, it's always quiet. But normally there are snippets from DeMarco, Kennedy, Ando7 etc that remind us that something is bubbling away.

The other thread is brutal whenever there's a quiet takeover week.

Well he was meant to be League One's best player for a few years, always linked with the Championship. Now it seems he has a screw loose.

Oh we have to be the favourites now, absolutely. They have form, a game plan, decent players, a solid defence and a manager who isn't a complete dinosaur. Think we'd need 4 points from that Wolves, West Brom, Villa, Brighton run and I just don't see it happening.

Deep fucking trouble

It's because they've only lost 3 in 13. Lots of draws with the likes of Liverpool, Spurs and West Ham, some of which almost felt like wins.
