If its Hope, can we shoot the messenger? The guy is a non-stop stream of negativity, much like the paper he works for. Wilson has no problem with ability for where we are in 2023. That goals per minute record is not a fluke. A bit more luck with Isak, injured on international duty FFS, and we'd be able to give Wilson the rest he needs. The backstory about no number three is FFP and years of neglect that will hold us back for still some time to come.

That protest will be anti-FIFA and anti (just announced) Saudi WC, not so much anti NUFC.

Gordon for Wilson, Miggy for Hall

Eight to two in the foul count, but guess who got the yellow. HT. Deserve to be behind, but have come back into it. Need Miggy and Gordon on.

Spurs got 10 points from games 11 to 20 last season, starting with us beating them at their place. They're starting it this time with more points but with suspensions, injuries, and harder fixtures. https://theanalyst.com/eu/2023/11/premier-league-fixture-difficulty-every-team-ranked/

I thought they fully deserved their halftime lead at SJP but were lucky to hang on to win the match. They sat on the lead and let us hit the bar twice on top of the Wilson chance. fwiw, the weather forecast I saw for tomorrow in Dortmund said dry. I think that'll suit us better than the rain in the home fixture.

If anyone should know the danger of doing this, its them. They were clear top of the league and cruising 2-0 up at Anfield last season (April 9) when Xhaka got into some stupid spat that got the crowd going. Liverpool soon got one back and then battered them second half. Arsenal escaped with a draw. They then drew their next two before City hammered them and put it to bed. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65152635

In all comps since Brighton, we have 8 clean sheets in 12 games. That includes AC Milan away, both Manchester clubs, and Arsenal.

My favourite recent Everton player is Leighton Baines. Darwin Nunez again man. 2 goals from 0.3 xG vs. NUFC. 2 goals from 6.5 xG vs. everyone else.

Title hopes go up in smoke as Cheats denied by Chong.

Our fixtures so far in pictoral form. From the "soccerstats" website. Five clean sheets (joint best), and only City away where we've drawn a blank.

They shithoused their win at SJP last season, so just desserts this time. Their striker did even less than Wilson, and the keeper they probably didn't need missed the vital cross. That should be enough for self-reflection, not blaming everyone else.

Like the Flavor Flav version of the Star Spangled Banner at the NBA.

I can imagine Miggy driving with a big smile on his face, like a kid singing "The Wheels on the Bus".

Fingers crosssed for Bruno. They did a lot of damage down our right side last year, so I hope we can play Longstaff right and Bruno central. Burn tends to get comically skinned once a game, usually early doors, but is otherwise solid and doesn't worry me. I think he's much weaker at CH. Both Joes were great on Wednesday, so a difficult decision there.

These came up side by side and made me laugh. Same source, different interpretations. The misnamed Hope with his usual pessimism.

The one-season wonder, turning into a two-season wonder. That's four goals in just under 11x90 minutes, three of them to open the scoring and only the Sheff Utd goal as a stat booster. A player can only do it for so long before the doubters have to admit they are good at football.

Season form for 10 mostly hard PL fixtures, 3 games in CL group of death, and now Man City home and Man Utd away in the Carabao. P15 W8 D3 L4 That's in eleven games vs. top half of PL or better opposition.

They shouldn't use see through containers. Bring back the black velvet bag.

Meh. West Ham are a good cup team, so good to avoid them and Liverpool, and have them playing each other. Don't like our game being away though.

He's overtaken Callum Wilson in the goals per 90 minutes stat. Some sexy throughballs too. Looks like a player.

Great performance and result. Hilariously easy given the team we put out. In case you've not noticed, this is only our second away win of the season. Coming into this we were P6 W1 D3 L2 in all comps, with the only win at Sheff Utd.

Wow Tino!

This being a possibility means we should still give it a go despite our injuries and fixture congestion.

Ashby's started Swansea's last two games at RB, not RM. It sounds like he put in a couple of strong performances. Fingers crossed he can kick on.
