Hope he has had/does have other things to celebrate in his life.

Swapped Mitro for Isak. Weekend wasn’t great. But time will judge I guess.

Latter if he is playing both. If playing only one, then guess Isak will keep the shirt as long as he is performing.

Brilliant. What a nice touch ?

Reckon Bruno will be desperate to play. Think if only one is back he’d be my wishful pick.

Guess you could score 55. Anything north of 30 is a bloody great week. I’d be surprised/asking for their lottery numbers if anyone managed more than 37.

Wouldn’t be surprised. We seem to be adopting a slow and sure approach to getting who we want, fir what we are willing to pay. Guess it depends whether he is still seen a priority (given they may have other targets for next summer being added to ‘the dossier’).

That’s him scoring then… .

Gameweek 7 Fulham v Chelsea: Mournful Bournemouth v Brighton: Lamenting Leicester v Villa: Eating their hearts out Liverpool v Wolves: sorrowful Southampton v Brentford: saddened Man City v Spurs: devastated Arsenal v Everton: beating their breasts West Ham v Newcastle: really grieving Palace v Man United: dispossessed Leeds v Forest: suffering

My first game back in ages too mate (MUCH shorter trip though!) glad I’m not the only one time blame for lack of goals! Glad you had a great day/time anyway ?

To be fair, thought he looked good in the highlights.

Read this a couple of times, sorry still can’t figure out what it means ?‍♂️

I’d settle for just regularly taking points off the cheeky chappies ?

‘Kin hell.

Positive and negative stat attacks always best taken with a heavy pinch of salt. It’s not the numbers but their interpretation/use. ‘Patter-peddlars’ (paid and unpaid) often use statistics the way a drunk uses a lamppost: for support not illumination.

Regardless of the injuries debacle, we should have won yesterday. And could/should have held out at Anfield. We look very well organised, have a system that works (even if two or three of the cogs in it could do with replacing) are difficult to beat and have a new centre forward who looks the real deal and will get better (not least with better service/having others around him which the opposition will worry more about). We could/should be sitting 4th with 11 points, but great signs of what is come. If I were to guess, I believe we are so close to being a top six side, will miss out on so many near-miss additional points, that we’ll bemoan not going that extra mile to strengthen in CM and RW/RM this window. But fuck it, happy to settle in for a comfortable top half season and enjoy some of the exceptional performances our strongest 11 will be capable of.

10!! Bragger… ?

I need to keep a better eye on him, I think. I love it when a local lad comes through and establishes themselves. Haven’t seen anything yet (others who know better evidently have) which has excited me yet. Never been the worst player in the pitch/in black and white but unfortunately, even latterly, than has been quite a low bar.

You’re on a roll today STM! Great posts ?

Nobody has said it, but also think the Palace defender should have been sent off. Dangerous play/reckless endangerment or whatever they call it. He deliberately launched Willock into Guaita and it could easily have been even worse injury wise.

As described in more detail back in June, the chart takes the number of games per month (A5, S3, O6, 2 each in Nov and Dec, J3, F4, M3, 6 in Apr, and 4 in May) strength of opposition, plus home and away variation, to predict how a ‘top ten kind of season’ is most likely to progress. The white bars showing expected cumulative points total each month. The blue line showing actual points accrued. We were one point ahead at end of August (6 instead of predicted 5). Still two more September games to go to reach the predicted 11 points. 51 points secured 10th place last year. 59 in 2020-21 and 54, in 2019-20.

Thought he played his best game for us today. Looked confident throughout. Couple of good saves.

Thought he was slow thinking, under confident and out of his depth (take no pleasure in saying so). p.s. sorry, commenting on different games.

Thought Joelinton put in a great shift today. We are going to be regularly disappointed if we need him to be a consistent creative threat/pick a defence splitting pass/beat a man/ basically, score or make a key contribution to scoring. He harries and breaks up play (beautifully). Longstaff, doesn’t fill the void, and looked way out of his depth, at times. Bruno (Maddison, Gallagher, pretty much any fucker we were interested in) sorely missed today.

(Unsurprisingly, not in a someone else has already said this kind of way! ?)
