Dandy Man

Was around 5.5 before Leeds, down to around 3.5 now

Still coming to terms with the fact that this actually seems to be happening

Just get this cunt over the line please

As percentage probability to get relegated it would be: Norwich 80% Watford 75% Burnley 65% Newcastle 38% So currently the odds imply we are more likely to stay up then get relegated

He got a lot more right than wrong today. Generally think he has tried to address our tactical failings from one match to next and it's slowly moving in right direction. Looked to be very clear about keeping compact in midfield and not getting pushed back too deep late on. Also liked that we looked to slow game down whenever possible which helped break up Leeds momentum.

Get the fuck in

Unbearable this

Thought we've done well enough and tactically got it spot on, still got the same glaring problems in most positions and Big Joe getting injured a disaster but more confident of getting something out of this now than beforehand

Shelvey's good points are rendered irrelevant by his bad points but there is still nobody else to play instead of him, think we might actually need a new CM

If we lose this then I'm driving to Dundee in my bare feet

Think the Dean Smith comparisons are misleading given we have had a significantly harder run of matches than they have - and they would have lost one more and we won one more if not for Ciaran Clark

If we did go down think I'd prefer him to stay (depending on how badly rest of season goes obvs) but I think he will almost certainly be gone - first press conference he was very clear his remit was to keep team in PL and if he fails at that then doubt he will be afforded any patience - could even go before end of season if situation is looking perilous and owners fancy trying a new manager to bounce us out of it

Somewhere between 5 and 6 seems about right for me currently, could increase a good bit depending on what happens on and off pitch in next few weeks though

Pretty hard to spin that small snippet any other way than he is not leaving, he is literally saying "I will stay here a long time"

Caught the last 15 minutes or so and thought he looked very impressive all round from what little I saw, I'm sold, get him in

We won't get anyone in before Leeds and we will most likely lose that match, seems highly likely we will (eventually) get several new players in before end of month and at worst we are probably 50/50 to go down. Whatever happens we will be in a better position than if Ashley and Bruce were still here and the world will keep turning.

That betting activity on Xhaka to get booked is a humongous red flag, that sort of volume at that stage of game in that sort of market at a price below prematch odds (and way below expected price) is very unusual to say least. Sure the way he was behaving might have artificially lowered price but nowhere near that extent. If investigators can link any of the accounts that placed those bets back to anyone connected to Xhaka then he'd be in massive bother.

Seems like this is almost certainly Xhaka for this: https://twitter.com/FoG_BLoG/status/1472287642863783940

This transfer window been like a microcosm of my life, first quarter everything was very new and exciting then it slowed down to being a bit boring and repetitive, now suddenly left wishing could recapture a bit of that early zest because its suddenly getting closer to the end than the beginning

If we could get someone in till end of season who can do what Willock did at end of last season then that would be great, don't particularly care what happens after that tbh

Get him in for Leeds so he can clatter that tory bastard Bamford anyway

I would also be writing an email if someone offered to treble my wages

I am not too surprised that we are having these problems but clock is really ticking now and every day that passes without any new signings the situation begins to look progressively worse, but we have zero bargaining power and are stuck between a rock and a hard place for time being unfortunately. Slightly worried that those in charge will get desperate and end up throwing crazy money at any old mercenary towards end of month, as much as some of the players being mentioned are clearly better than what we've got it feels slightly reminiscent of QPR in 2012 and that did not end too well.

Sevilla fans saying Alexander Djiku from Strasbourg the likely replacement if DC gets sold, maybe we could just sign him instead at a much reduced cost?

Mina is very good imo, just struggles to stay fit for more than a few games in a row and the link is almost certainly bullshit
