"How important were the fans tonight?"

Hucthie.

Thank God for Amanda Staveley. Other than family members, she's had a more profound effect on my life than any woman who ever lived.

The Perez "casual finish" was a thing on here going back to 2018. I'm sure there are no stats to back it up.

Too casual, tbh.

Even after more than a year, "walked through the door" still makes me cringe.

Manorpark thinks not.

Yes. we don't do nuance here. He's either a horrible snidy little cunt or a master of brilliant shithousery. Maybe he should get the job of miaowing at Zouma next month.

Taken back when he was still driving.

Not a lot of optimism on that site at the moment, to say the least. https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/teams-we-could-emulate-under-our-current-inept-leadership.116872/page-3 First three suggestions are Third Lanark, Bury and Tranmere. What a pity.

Eddie needs to designate another player to practice making Miaow noises for when Kurt Zouma and West Ham arrive in a couple of weeks.

Reckon that FA Cup miss was his death knell with ruthless Eddie.

Maybe, but Dyche kept picking him. He played in almost every Burnley game last season until we bought him in January.

When we took Wood from Burnley he was an automatic pick for their first team and an essential part of Dyche's game plan of hitting long balls and set pieces towards one or both of the dynamic duo of Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes. So yes, that disrupted them. Wood is our third choice striker, so losing him hasn't weakened us.

Odds-on to finish in the top four. https://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/top-4-finish So should be able get better than evens to finish lower. Fivethirtyeight predicting we finish fourth, four points ahead of Liverpool in fifth. 54% chance of a CL spot. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/premier-league/ Happy days

Worrying

And it disrupted Burnley who at that time looked like our main competition for the third relegation spot and in fact ended up in that spot.

Or Maddison Summer.

"Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his struggling team need to go "back to basics" to improve their form." https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/64252849

Did he say "Enjoy the game"? I always like that bit.

And if players don't get suspended for cat-kicking then they shouldn't be suspended for drink-driving.

Someone already mentioned Chris Wood. Maybe Michael Johnson? Or Tyson Gay? Definitely not this guy.

Oh no it wasn't.

Always seems to have a terrified look on his face. Even when he's just taking a throw-in.
