  1. Or the 357 that Jimmy Greaves scored.
  2. Good luck to Wood, he seems like a solid bloke and there’s no doubting his commitment. I really don’t think he was an effective player for us though. His ability to hold the ball up and be that ‘target man/focal point’ was vastly overated as was his heading ability. He huffed and puffed, lots of perspiration and not much inspiration.
  3. Bet Bruno is delighted for him. Always hoped he’d breakthrough at some point. Will be a massive buzz them travelling together. When he comes back as a full international he’ll be 2 feet taller.
  4. Are City really ‘hoovering up the best players across the world’? They’ve got a great squad and have strength in depth but there’s plenty of great players to go around and lots of other teams have spent a lot of money. Are we ignoring the ‘Pep effect’ here?
  5. This is fucking hilarious, fuck Arsenal. We’ll beat Brighton and they’ll drop other points too. Not worried about them.
  6. How have we done this season in the dark blue away shirt? Feels like we’ve been fairly successful. I’m becoming increasingly superstitious as the season goes on.
  7. As hilarious as Everton getting relegated would be we do need Brighton to drop some points. Everton are already being punished by having Dyche in charge next season.
  8. Can’t help but like Rice, comes across really well when interviewed.
  9. Need BHA to win this one. They’ll drop points elsewhere.
  10. Ok, after some reflection I think we need 4 points from Arsenal/Leeds and 3 points from Brighton/Leicester. We won’t lose to Arsenal and despite Fat Sam’s reprise and Leeds bluster we are far too good for them. Either way I see us beating Chelsea last game of the season too a bit like the Fulham Rafa game.
  11. Rather have an up and coming player from one of the Euro leagues for 30-40m.
  12. I know I shouldn’t be but I’m shocked at how poor Leicester have been.
  13. Only if we stop scoring altogether, we’ve hit 13 in three games, would need a huge swing.
  14. Just about, another win and a couple of draws I think. LiVARpool will drop points.
  15. Villa out, a draw or a Spurs win will do next.
  16. They’re riding their luck, that doesn’t last for 5/6/7 game stretches. They were very lucky against West Ham. We win today and Liverpool are done.
  17. Highly unlikely that Liverpool win all of their remaining games. If they had that in them they’d already be firmly top 4.
  18. I’ve thought 71 but looks like 70 will do. In reality, we may not even need that many.
  19. So close now, beat Southampton and we are within spitting distance. The others are getting close to needing 100% record in the run in.
  20. We just need to keep winning, the other teams are running out of road. We need 7 points out of next 3 games to keep that gap.
  21. A lot of us thought this but no need to jinx it before the game!
  22. Not all ex-players have the insight and the vocabulary to analyse a game. Didn’t realise Rose had been suffering, he spoke from the heart but doesn’t appear to be right. I hope he gets the support he needs. We often forget about these lads as they are extremely well remunerated but they are, largely, working class lads trying to make sense of the position they’ve found themselves in.
