So far, so great! Loving us being a serious team!

Getting tasty. I’d rather fight them than try and out pass them. So all good by me.

Time yet. So far so 0-0.

They’re a good side, like. But enjoying this.

Going to be a tough next ten minutes. Ride it out and it is our turn then.

Howay Lads!!!

☝️ That, but with a football. Got a good feeling about this. Howay the lads!

Just got a couple in Leazes ? Not many left (where I was looking) mainly seemed a smattering of single seats in Milburn sections.

Number 9,351 (!) in the queue. Probably little chance of tickets. Anyone else in the queue?

He most likely does strike the ball beautifully, more often than not, in training.

Nice numbers!

Here’s the end of December update. Tracking progress towards 56 points (seemed appropriately ambitious in June!) taking into account quality of opposition (on previous season’s position) and home/away fixture variation. 8 points ahead of target, at turn of year.

Bit harsh like. Really not much between him and Given, in the early days. He may well have had a more prominent career if he had moved on at that point. The club would have worked hard, contractually and persuasion wise, to keep him. I wouldn’t equate a lack of ego/it’s all about me-ism and loyalty, with greed.

Also pissing down. Might make a subtle difference with so little margin for error ?‍♂️

They do. To every team. Happen less often though with top quality in all 11 positions.

Or on The Lanes, in Brighton.

Ok, so it isn't quite New Year. Too many occasions where he did well to be in position, receive the ball, but his use of it was just 'a bit' off. Need more artistry in that position. At this point, he is a bench player if we are to be a consistently top four team.

Just popped Nord to USA, anywhere free to view?

Where we watching this chaps?

It’s just all about him and always has been. Fine when everything is firing on all cylinders. Now it isn’t he is probably being led by a visceral ‘need to feed’ (….his ego, not bank). So he’s off to somewhere that’ll treat him like a prince.

He’ll be alright. They’re just being cautious/professional about it. Quite apart from protecting the lad himself, huge investment by the club. Only priority is getting him 100% however long it takes. Personally, I reckon he is close to appearing (on the bench).

Left Odegaard on the bench and started Foden. Oh why, oh why, oh why?

Week 18 West Ham 2-2 Brentford Liverpool 3-1 Leicester Wolves 1-2 Man United Bournemouth 2-1 Palace Fulham 3-1 Southampton Man City 5-0 Everton Newcastle 2-0 Leeds Brighton 2-1 Arsenal Spurs 2-2 Villa Forest 0-2 Chelsea

Don’t know about Stoke/haven’t checked but Sunderland’s average league finish (since 1992-93) is 25th (best 7th, worst 52nd). Blackburn’s average is 19th (best 1st, worst 46th). Boro’s average is 21st (best 7th, 36th). Might have saved time just saying you’re right! ?
