Billy Warthog Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Just looking at the comparisons to last season. After match 11 last year, we had 18 points (W4, D6, L1). We then went on to win all of matches 12 - 16 before losing some form after the World Cup. This year, we're on 20 points (W6, D2, L3). 15 more points in the next 5 would see us sitting very pretty, especially if we can maintain our presence in other competitions too. Next 5 PL fixtures [+ UCL]: Dortmund (A), Bournemouth (A), Chelsea (H), PSG (A), Man Utd (H), Everton (A), Spurs (A) Suppose we'd have to do really well to get a result at Spurs - not impossible by any means - but the rest of the PL games are surely winnable? Hope Eddie has a bit of luck with the injuries and gets a few players back in the meantime. Tough job ahead, but he's the man for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Getting 15 from the next 5 is a tough ask, especially as they are part of a congested fixture list and the injuries we have I think 10-12 would be a very good return, obviously 15 would be ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not worried about the Man-U game It's the Spurs game and I actually wouldn't say I'm worried, I just don't think it's one I'd say with confidence we'd win, as they are a good side and are in great form Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I was just thinking while watching the post-match interview with Eddie how he answers like in those Fifa press conferences, or in like Disco Elysium where there's a perfect answer from a selection of 10. He nails every answer every time like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 The man is a magician, but we're another injury or two away from disaster. We have a game roughly every four days from now to Jan. 1, including the upcoming international break. Trips to Dortmund, Paris, Tottenham, Goodison, Anfield, and Stamford Bridge, plus home for Chelsea, Man United, and Milan. The man deserves a key to the city if two of the following are true come the 2nd of Jan.: In or around the top 4/5, in the League Cup, and still in Europe.

Quote [Southampton] have a huge catchment area and it's a different type of catchment area. There is a big working-class community down there but there are also a lot of middle-class kids who have good educations. The players who come out of Southampton are quite intelligent and there might be something in that. We have to put more intelligence into our players here. Quote Four defeats for Newcastle is going to bring its own pressure. I don’t think the local press have helped. Quote I don’t really care if Arsenal win 4-0 [next weekend], if I’m honest. I’m sure Spurs will, but I only care that our fans enjoy themselves. And very topical: Quote I'd have felt really confident going into this period of the season if I had my full squad available but I haven't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 His answers are so good I wonder why the press bother with half the questions. You know what he's going to say to 80% of them, and it's not the answer that would make a headline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 That little slaphead clown Luke Edwards, at the press conference wasn't interested in the Dortmund game and questions on that subject, instead wanted to try and be amusing with his arriving on time to the presser, then desperate to stir the pot further regarding Arteta, then moved onto Lascelles and the handshake. He's such a fucking troll, does my nut in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
