All joking aside, to any collector or music fan full stop, that must be a horrendous sight.

We've 101 goals in all competitions so far this season. To put that into perspective that's our joint 9th most prolific season in our history. Given that we've 6 games left and possibly 7 (Olympiakos pending) ... we have a fairly decent chance of catching the 2nd most prolific season of 116 goals (1928/29). Here's the top 10. 1. 1930/1931 : 131 goals 2. 1928/1929 : 116 3. 1960/1961 : 115 4. 1974/1975 : 110 5. 1931/1932 : 107 6. 1912/1913 : 106 7. 1976/1977 : 105 7. 1929/1930 : 105 9. 2023/2024 : 101 9. 1891/1892 : 101

Forest result and other games updated. A few changes made for that game, making the average age older, and lo & behold the result went against us. Katsukunya was rested after 13 consecutive starts in all competitions. Swinkels coming back into the side for his first start of the season. Emery came back into goal. Afoka, Pierre & Wilson all got their 2nd consecutive start. This was the 2nd oldest starting 11 of the season at 19.24. Only the 2-1 defeat at Brighton was older at 19.28. The 5 oldest starting 11s this season have all lost their game. With 2 games left though it is still very achievable. We are 2pts and 2 places outside the playoffs and can still mathematically catch 8 sides above us. In fact only Stoke & us can still gate-crash the current top 16 now as it stands. It's 18 into 16.

Free hit doing well so far. Pity I chickened out of taking Trent, but other decisions went my way so can't be too greedy. Wrong captain so far though. Hope Mo takes it out on Everton.

Died not long after seeing the bill IINM.

First sprint race of the season this weekend. Yay!!!! Ugh.

Yeah I think as matches go, and what we're looking for, I'm afraid this really does count as 'must win'. As much as I don't like that term. Luckily I think we will.

I heard someone brought a 125ml tube of toothpaste on-board. **** monsters.

Half a programme this weekend, in which we play first. This means if we take care of business against the team currently occupying the final playoff place, we are guaranteed to finish this weekend in the playoffs. And the way the fixtures are, we will probably be inside by a couple of places.

Olise or Bruno. Olise or Bruno.

I'm free hitting this week. Filling my boots with doublers, and yet I just know Ollie, Haaland & Bruno are going to triple team me.

All results and bonkers stats updated. Looking much less ominous now. Thanks Arsenal for an overall wonderful weekend. We're a point off the playoffs now with 3 teams who were division 2 last season left to play. 16th, 19th & 24th respectively. We can do this.

Our league is really weird. I go up everywhere else ... I go down in ours. I go down everywhere else ... I go up in ours. I'll take 77. Nothing stellar but a small green.
