It's a red for me, not even contentious imo I've never been a fan of the tactical/cynical foul anyway but usually when it's done it's a lot of subtle and certainly not as dangerous as Allan He goes in with such pace, ball long gone and at one stage he does have both feet off the ground and he also catches him on the ankle

I get that but I'm just referring to them even getting past us and that is on the worst case scenario of us just losing our next set of games Get a win from Spurs and the 3 home games that follow then those clubs need to do even more, a couple of wins and that's us safe

That's my point the chances of 3 sides getting back to wins is low I'm not factoring Brentford as they are only a point behind us but Leeds would need back to back wins to go ahead, Everton would need back to back wins just to draw level (ahead on GD) and Burnley back to back wins still has them 4 behind us, so they need 4 wins. The odd team doing that is possible but it would need 3 teams to do it and I'm not sure that's ever happened before. A glance at the form table shows from 14 downwards only 2 teams have done that (Us and Brentford) We aren't safe yet but I see us similar to Brentford when people were saying they'll be dragged into it, just a win buys us so much breathing space, after Spurs we have 3 home games on the bounce, that's where we will hopefully be safe.

I'm not at 100% either but that's normal I try to look at it as objectively as I can and from this situation it would take something ridiculous for us to get relegated. Not only would we have to keep losing (possible) but at least 3 clubs would need to really string a number of wins on the bounce (unlikely)

Hopefully results go our way so by the time we play Spurs it's basically a free hit with no pressure And on paper the results should go our way (although there is bound to be the odd surprise result)

The objective for Howe was to keep us up, which when he was appointed we know going to take some effort and even after the Watford game most of us thought we were done for. The run we went on was amazing but I don't think the objective changes, yes the higher the finish the better but staying in the league was the priority and if we do that then it's a bloody job well done. He was mostly backed in January and he has so far done his part. If he keeps us up then it's back to the owners to do their part and back him. If the plan is to really kick on then Wood can't be starting for us next season and our options on the wing need to be improved.

Even better Plus I guess the other teams will play each other too and take points off one another

After back to back defeats, especially late on I get why emotions would be running high but bigger picture we are sitting pretty (Assuming you see the objective as simply stay up, I've never bought in or cared too much for finishing top 10, that's for next season) After Watford we were in a dire situation, 4 points from safety having played 2 games more and in terms of Everton we were 11 points behind them having played 2 games more Fast forward to now and we are 9 points away from 18th, if we assume the worst and Everton/Burnley win both games in hand we are still 5 points from 18th position. So that is 2 wins that would be needed assuming we keep losing. But if we look at it logically you might get 1 team showing top 4 form but 3? It's extremely likely to the point it's almost impossible. Every single team below us would swap positions with us in a heartbeat so bigger picture is we are doing more than fine.

Capital punishment was the discussion, not the example I used gambling as the example and then someone ludicrously brought in sex with children Anyhow, I completely agree with the second line onwards, it was essentially my point from the start. You understand their point, then hopefully educate them on why it's not logical or sensible.

This conversation is going down a completely different angle to what I had intended but since it's been raised aye I do think sex with children is worse than capital punishment Again, I'm not in favour of capital punishment, just that I can understand why countries/people would in principle be for it.

I disagree but this wasn't even the original point I was making I'm not here to defend capital punishment (more because the miscarriage of justice element), just that in principal I can see why others would be for it

In your opinion, a number of countries disagree with you

I'm not saying we agree to disagree, just that a complete lack of understanding that other people will have a different position on certain subjects is not always helpful You've had to resort to an absolutely absurd example to highlight your point

I have no issues with you having the view but this is about recognising not everyone will share that view A far removed example being gambling, I don't gamble (for religious reasons) and I think it ruins lives and provides little to no benefit but there will be people that completely disagree with me on that. Who then decides who is right in that situation? So when it comes to Capital Punishment different countries clearly have different views on the subject.

Paul Merson said with confidence that he still thinks it will be City which means Liverpool winning is nailed on The only game I can see Liverpool possibly dropping points is at the Etihad, whereas City I can see dropping points away to Wolves and West Ham plus the game at the Etihad I think Liverpool will win at the Etihad and then stay ahead of City

Don't get me wrong, I have no issue with your view, especially when you add in the very questionable judgement process (be that the US or Saudi) it's logical however for someone that thinks otherwise, they can easily excuse that. We have enough people in this country that constantly call for it.

Yeah, although it seems he should be playing a level much higher and I think a stint in The Championship is something we should consider, however if Bristol Rovers do go up then letting him have at least 6 months could be more valuable as he will likely continue to get games and we know he's being utilised and developed.

I don't think it is hard, it's only hard if you are vehemently opposed to capital punishment, not everyone will share that view and those that don't will have the opinion that it's fine and it doesn't concern them. Who says their view is wrong whilst yours is right?

Paul Merson reckons nowt has changed and that City will win Which means Liverpool are nailed on to win the league

I think you'll win that then, momentum is all with Liverpool

You have a bet on City?

It does but Arsenal had a huge chance moments before Jota scored Liverpool only a point behind City, hopefully they both win their next game cos then they meet at the Etihad, will be huge that

And there it is, inevitable, Jota Ramsdale error?

Arsenal gonna regret missing that chance

Arsenal playing well, broke well on a few occasions but lack that cutting edge I think Liverpool will end up winning 1-0
