Come on. A game from word go you fuckers.

If Isak is injured, hopefully this cements the end of Wilson when he turns in a shit 60 and is subbed for Gordon up top.

Just can’t see how we fuck this up in anyway unless it’s an absolute freak result, like we can’t score for shit and they score with only their 2 efforts on goal. They’re so bad, we bring intensity for just one half, it’s done.

How does this queue thing work? Logged in on the waiting list since 9:15, as soon as 10am hits I'm 7193 in line Blocked out till 10:30 thinking it would be done by then, but says estimated wait is 50 mins

Still roll with it and back yourself on the pitch. Just feels if a points deduction does come and it's around this ball park, you are better off writing off one season fully, then let it write off the next (because it's not going to be wiped completely clean, just be lesser points).

If they can't get more points than Ipswich from now to end of season, then they've got bigger problems to worry about

Sissoko would be mine too. LCM role and being similar mould to Joelinton, or RCM and hitting first time crosses from right (interchanging with RW in similar ways to what we saw Willock/Joe do). We saw flashes of his quality, Yaya like when he ran with ball, but was so infrequent. Under Howe, you'd like to think he would've gone to the next level. Other one for me would be Mitrovic. One of the few blights on Rafa time was not being able to get him going.

Think there was chatter any decision like that would be pushed into next season because of appeals. Suppose if it happened and say it was 30 points, do Man City accept no UCL (win FA Cup they still have Europa) and just roll with it. Or appeal, miss out on UCL anyway (and potentially Europe if form stays inconsistent) and have it impact next season title challenge if it was reduced to say 8-10 points. Feels like this season, they'd better taking the points hit if it was there and move on. Suppose the main thing they'd push back on would be if there was a transfer ban because there's a bit of work needed in summer, so may want to get that pushed back to Jan.

Thinking about this and staying same side, think I’d potentially like to see Gordon start RW. Usually plays below his levels there, but he should have an attitude after his red of wanting to repay people back, so get him RW and see if he does that. One great game there, can mean we roll with him and Barnes to end of season potentially.

Why I keep ruing us messing up opportunities. Rather have a 4 point cushion over 6th, instead of going into final few games and needing to chase.

Difference between those and the others, the gaps. The ones in this post didn’t have the gap in same way as we, Villa or Leicester title win all had. Can have pressure, but when you’ve got a gap where you can ride out 2 poor results and still have a cushion, that’s a lot of pressure off because the season up to that point shows the results will come back in favour.

It’s all reported Maignan is suppose to be signing a new contract, but if Milan are getting jitters he’d be the one I’d want to sign. Just a ready made goalkeeper, no pissing about and he’s here producing for 4 seasons before leaving. Goalkeepers feel like a position where you don’t need to invest in the future, you need them delivering from first day.

Ramsdale is bad. Thought leaving Arsenal he may have kicked on, but in a bad Southampton side, he’s been an equal part of that. He’s a poor goalkeeper where I’d question any side that identifies him as a number one for the price point.

Still annoyed we made this Man City side look good when we rocked up there. It’s such a bad team, that has fuck all pace to it.

That Southampton guy needs sacking. Just a nothing appointment. Never staying up when they appointed, never a guy you want in the Championship. Them and Leicester deserve back to back relegations for how they've been this season, yet will use the Prem money to inflate themselves to a title march.

Real chance to seize 4th now.

Balon d’Or gone. Top goalscorer nearer enough done, league similar. Conserve energy with holiday mode switched on. Maybe knows he’s playing club World Cup for a new team so saving those legs

This recent Liverpool side is the one I expect to see more often next season. Without TAA, Salah is only real threat which is more easier to contain.

I like this Dodo guy.

Theres doing a job against as mid table at best sides, then needing him to be for a top 4 push which after this season is where our focus needs to be regularly.

It’s a short term gamble. It’s easy to forget they spent £40m on players in summer who are not there contributing. Their business will catch up with them, hence looking to sell women’s team.

People wanting Villa to win this game ffs

Hugely talented CM, but never a LB because he can't defend and won't learn it playing this inverted role bollocks.

This is why MLS can't be a LB for England.
