The Prophet

We've won 6 from 8 and finished the stronger side v Brigton.

Plenty of teams fall into that category and don't have the opposition keeper regularly chucking one in for them mind.

Fuck me, I wish we carried as much luck as they do like. Don't get me wrong, they're organised and useful on the counter, but the amount of late goals they get from unforced errors is ridiculous. It stretches back to last season too.

Another goal keeping error? Astounding.

Pretty sure that's how Arsenal usually play.

I wonder if there's a correlation between the lads who overegg how good Sunderland and the lads who overegg how bad we are?

Top five though, behave.

That style of recruitment can go either way really. Fair play, they took advantage of the early fixtures and have carried on the momentum. Still think they'll be well down the league when they run out of steam though.

Just look at Spurs, they've been bang average this season and they're near the top of the league.

Would never write City off either.

Looking at away stats we're 2nd for expected goals conceded, but 17th for expected goals scored. Tells you where are our issue is.

He's not really being disloyal. He said he's happy and not thinking about any other club, but he can't promise he'll be here in ten years because football.

The misery?

I don't think it's quite true that you have to be in the Champions League every year, buy certainly there abouts.

Seem like pretty fair comments like. If say Real Madrid come knocking, he isn’t going to say no.

You could easily convince me that a sizeable amount don't actually like watching football.

To be fair, it's difficult to sing when there's so many misplaced passes to be groaned at.

On paper he should fit us like a glove really.

He's so good I'm starting to take him for granted.

Think Bilbao deserve credit first half. Clearly a very well coached outfit and made it difficult for us to find any rhythm, they just has no cutting edge with extensive injury list.

Aye, ankle is still playing up.

Wouldn't say I'm concerned, we're in good hands, it just might require a bit of time and patience.

He got 14+ G/A, two seasons in a row for Forest. There's clearly a good player in there, it's about building up hos confidence and his understanding of what Howe wants from him.

Win one of the next two away games and we're laughing.
