You disagree that Dyche has done a good job at Burnley? Yes. He's a fat, ginger Pardew. He took them to Europe FFS. :lol:

Our fat dinosaur did the double over their progressive, intelligent manager

Interesting team.

I'm changing my prediction to 5-1 defeat. Still think we will score like.

I would've liked Rafa and Bruce to give him more of a chance, but again I don't see him in training tbf.

Will completely ruin the game Hyperbole much?

What a goal!

Arsenal front 3 look lively as fuck.

Been a canny few games tonight - enjoying this one too.

Love that Arsenal goal. Simple but superbly done.

Watford beat us, they're staying up. If they don't then Villa still have a chance.

7 away goals this season.

OMG what a miss. Norwich have to score.

Pukki looks so gash atm. Minimal effort.

Norwich started well was a lovely goal.

We do always seem to start slowly (especially first 9-10 games). Last season: 17 points from first 19 games, 29 points from next 19 games. This season: 25 points from first 19 games, 18 points from next 14 games (with 5 games to go.).

Rondon and Perez scored 25 goals between them last season. Take that away from any team, and there is a big void. I think we were always going to sell Perez, but if we'd kept Rondon, and only signed ASM - it would be interesting to see what happened. Would Bruce have started 5 at the back, or went with 4? Rondon, Miggy, ASM sounds more dangerous, then Joelinton, Miggy, ASM IMO.

A lot of the games this season at home have been pretty shit. Pretty boring. But clearly, we're hard to beat at home. I think 6 home wins is acceptable, considering we're on 26 points from 17 games. Last season we lost 10 home games, and ended up on 25 points. I think 6 home wins is acceptable for a side who are happy with mediocrity. Every team should be aiming to win most of their home games, and not less than half 6 wins with 0 draws isn't good enough. 6 wins with 8 draws is acceptable. Were you happier last season when we won 8 home games but had less home points than this season? Yes, because there looked to be a coherent plan and no where near as reliant on luck as this season has. The entertainment was also far higher which is kind of the point in the first place. Sitting watching a team that is scared to venture into the opposition half and even at home is no fun. Watching a team that can't keep possession for more than 1 minute at a time is no fun. Watching at team that gets a corner and instead of attacking passes back to their own goal keeper is embarrassing. Watching a team getting schooled by the far and away relegation favourites is nothing to be happy with. Relying on other teams not performing and getting the odd lucky result is not a sustainable method. Luck runs out, and what's that? oh, low and behold a team is sitting in the relegation zone hoping to pull off a result on the last day which might keep them up only for a duff deflection to welcome the cold embrace of the championship We lost our first 5 home games last season. Let's be honest we were shit the first 11 home games of the season. Won 2 Drew 1 Lost 8 games. We had scored 7 goals in 11 home games. I remember the Brighton 1-0 loss at home. We played shit. West Ham 3-0 loss at home. We played shit. Fulham 0-0 at home. We had zero shots on target. We were beyond shit. We were very good in last 8 home games of season, and the entertainment level was a lot higher than this season - but the first 11 home games was shit and not entertaining.

4-1 defeat.

Saudis might just sack him or they might offer him some sort of ambassador role. I could see it. Again we just need this takeover to fucking go through. Taking too long. 5 games left. I'd be happy with 7 more points get us to 50 points for season.

Perfect for Bruce fly around going to dinners. Eating loads of nice food. Play loads of golf. Banter with different people. Give the odd media soundbite.

The takeover is key. We need it to progress. So important it goes through. I said previously I'd be happy if the takeover goes through, get somebody like Poch in and Bruce can be in some sort of ambassador role on a good wedge.

Fairly sure at the start of any season most fans wouldn't give a shit of how many wins etc if the team achieves their aim. You're trying too hard to make a case against, it lacks honesty. Exactly.
