Another one of, perhaps the King of, the beautiful black and white ‘County Durham traitors’.

Gameweek 36 Luton 1-1 Everton Arsenal 4-1 Bournemouth Brentford 2-1 Fulham Burnley 1-1 Newcastle Sheff United 3-2 Forest Man City 2-0 Wolves Brighton 1-1 Villa Chelsea 2-1 West Ham Liverpool 2-0 Spurs Palace 3-1 Man United

From what I’ve seen, Burnley have been playing better/looked tougher to beat. Just checked they’ve only lost once in last eight games (mainly draws). 19th in League, but 11th in form table. Man Utd currently 12th in form table. We are 3rd.

7 would be my guess too. If three of those are from Man Utd, then confident that 60 points will be enough for 6th.

Here's the end of April update to the Top Six prediction I've been doing all season. As you can see (and is pretty much evident from the current table) we're not far away from it now! Three points behind what we should have (based on average total points return of 62 for sixth place), given relative difficulty of games and number of games per month.

@Magpie Is Chelsea v Spurs being tagged onto next week?

Missed the game and just read through thread from start to finish. With you brother. ‘Twas grim reading.

Intermittent concrete carriers didn’t help either. As a young lad I personally had three experiences of being crushed/winded against them in the Gallowgate. They stopped you getting moved around knocked over in the surges but at some risk.

56 with four games left. 62 at end of season.

Despite disappointment of last night, win against Sheffield Utd at home and we are only three points off (53) average expected points total (56) for sixth place, with four games to go. We would need 9 points from these games to hit the average 6th place total (62 points). The average total for 7th place is 58 points (and 54 for 8th).

62 for sixth. Reckon we’ll get 60 points.

Always makes me anxious when players give interviews like that. It was impressive/nice to hear mind, but triggered my NUFC superstitions.

Imagine him and Gordon in same side… with Isak in the middle of them. Terrifying with right tactics.

And we hear we are. Along comes a chance of redemption. Except after how things went at Old Trafford I am now (mildly) shitting myself about a blades revenge mission!

In the season we got our biggest ever away win too. Bizarre. No wonder Eddie’s baffled.

I was hoping for that, but wonder if he wanted Murphy’s pace and energy against Eze?

Especially if he was mainly up against Eze? Capable of making the best ‘actual’ right back flounder.

Then keep it to yourself rather than showing you’re a fool.

It’s the content not the process, that is hilarious.

? for whose benefit are you sharing this managerial wisdom?

Nah. Not yet. Another 10 points from 15 and passports needed next year.

Sky bloke seems to think we’re knocking at the door/looking dangerous…

VAR check

No eyes on this and this is far from a joyous read. Guessing the main fest gets directed here rather than the living room.
