    Is there a reason you’re asking me?
  2. Mark Albrighton
    They’ve already been there (and higher).

    I would be interested but I have zero intent in actually going through the number of times we’ve pissed away a two goal lead. Today probably doesn’t even break the top ten since I’ve been following them. At least we ended up coming back ourselves and earning a point. It says something that when I try and list the number of times we’ve come back from two goals down, I’m stuck on that Arsenal game with the falling Santa. Whereas there are plenty of examples the other way around.

    Right then. Just stay right where you are until the middle of May.

    Some people have to be able to say “Look at me, I was right all along”.

    It isn’t unrealistic for Spurs to lose their games against Liverpool, Arsenal and Citeh. It’s probably equally reasonable to say they will win against Forest, Sheff Utd and Burnley. The Spurs games that are up in the air are Newcastle and Chelsea.
  7. Mark Albrighton
    Well, for fourth, I think basically Spurs now have to slip up in a game we’re not expecting them to. Or we pick up a win we’re not anticipating. I think the former is more likely.

    Might incentivise Forest more tomorrow? He said hopefully…

    Huddersfield and Wednesday both winning, sha losing.

    It wouldn’t be “over”. No. I think you really have to allow a degree of OTT posts in a match thread. You know what it’s like, it is never going to change. No matter how much you reply with a “Well, actually…” type post. If (when) there’s garment rending in on topic afterwards, then yeah, it’s worthwhile trying to counter the outrage. During a game, it is pointless.
  11. Mark Albrighton
    Yes it does.

    Some probably do. The game at the sty is certainly fitting to be labelled as legendary. That doesn’t qualify a whole Villa career, but as a moment, it’s there. Hutton’s goal against them is probably legendary, doesn’t make him a legend. I think people worry about such things way too much. The vast majority of “legends” statuses will fade in time. They nearly always do. New players come along and caveats are retroactively added to past players careers “Yeah, I suppose he was great back then…football was different, he couldn’t cut it in today’s game…”.

    Collymore v Spurs, timed about 1:20 here. Hourihane v WBA (could pick a few of his, this is arguably the most important) And as per the post above, Der Hammer really didn’t do tap ins did he?

    Answering the question before last.

    Both Rowling and Linehan, am I right in thinking that they both started all this kinda innocuously…for want of a better word (Rowling with liking a tweet and Lineham with that IT Crowd episode) and they both essentially just doubled, tripled, quadrupled down from there? It comes across like they had a little bit of critical pushback in these early instances and then just went “Ah, **** it” and gone to town in their respective ways.
  20. Mark Albrighton
    Prior to today, when determining whether a result was “expected”. I think you knew that though…
  21. Mark Albrighton
    Ok this IS my last point and I accept it’s getting incredibly nuanced and frankly ridiculous and tedious (which I accept I have played my part). You chose 10 games. Add up the points for the previous 10 games for both clubs. Who has more - Sunderland or Blackburn? I make it Sunderland by a point. Therefore prior to today, Blackburn were in worse form over the period of time you chose. I understand you are making the point that Sunderland are playing in form that is more beatable. Fine. But if you’re going to do that, I would not try and showcase that choosing X amount of games where they still managed to accrue more points than the opposition in question. Sunderland have lost more in that time, they’ve also won more. Hope you had a nice Easter.
  22. Mark Albrighton
    I don’t really. But I assume you would agree with my point that a team who are on an even more dismal run, like Blackburn, might not be expected to rock up and win. Edit - I am also assuming you accept the point because you ignored it As say, I’m done with the conversation but feel free to reply if you wish.
  23. Mark Albrighton
    We could go back and forth on this and I’ve no great desire to do so, but when considering whether a result, regardless of the scoreline, is surprising, it’s probably worth bearing in mind the form of both sides. Sunderland haven’t been good, although three of their recent defeats have been against Southampton, Leicester and Norwich whom are all pushing for promotion. Perhaps not completely unexpected that they’d lose those and as such it could be argued the relatively good opposition has played their part. Blackburn’s form…well, prior to today it was 1 win in 18. So I’ll hold my hands up, I wouldn’t have thought they would win today against a side who had seemingly overcome their own bad run having picked up 4 points from their previous 2 games.
  24. Mark Albrighton
    I think a compromise would be something like photos of the person as a child wouldn’t be on display, but would be kept in a family photo album for the parents to reminisce privately.
  25. Mark Albrighton
    Sunderland won their previous game. Drew the one before that. Prior to those, yeah bad form. Nothing to suggest they were going to lose at home 5-1 to a team battling the drop though. Maybe I didn’t read the suggestion here, but I know I’ve seen “looks at Blackburn’s run in…they’re in the shit” type comments.
