We're safe man, why so ANGRY? We got beat here 6-1, and 5-0 a few seasons ago. Liverpool have just been beaten 4-0 here and they've lost 2 games all season. We have been terrible like, but let's not pretend 4-0 is some abysmal score that never happens to us here (or other better teams). -

He's literally been the difference between us going down and staying up this season. Bit of an exaggeration Not all all. Youve simply been blinded by this post lockdown run and forgotten everything that preceded it. I haven't. Judge is right. No he isn't. If Darlow had been in goal all season we'd have been in the bottom 3. We're 16 points clear of the relegation zone. -

Mint free kick, not sure it was one though. -

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: Seems we're in agreement then. Dyche has done a good job at Burnley overall. As soon as they were relegated they came back up. Not like he's spent that much. -

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.
