Well they have won the FA Cup, League Cup, and Europa League post Fergie  which is 3 times more than what we have lifted.

3 times 0 isn't 3.

Chelsea will come good and easily finish top 6. Could do with them beating Fulham here as it would help our top 10 hopes. That said, Fulham look good enough to also finish top half.

Just seen that according to Romano twitter they're paying £3m rising to £6m, this for a player that only turned seventeen just over a week ago and has never played a first team game

They spent on 20m on a seriously overrated Villa reserve player just for him to inevitably go out on loan to the lower leagues before being sold on.

They are operating on another planet in terms of transfers and transfer fees. Yet again.

I don’t see the 9-11 finish, I just see that people don’t think we will get into top 4.

Mathematically for us, Chelsea and Liverpool to catch and pass ManU or NewU , it requires a points return around 0.6 points per match more than those two currently in the top 4. ManU and NewU are currently getting 2 points per game, if we assume that they will continue doing so for the rest of the season, it means to be a successful challenger for top 4, you need 2.6 points per game.

The odds just say that the public don’t think we are going on a run that will give us enough points to get into top 4, and I agree. However, I disagree with the public on the chances that Chelsea or Liverpool would make it. I believe that we have an outside chance for top 6 or top 7.

 

Top 4? Surely there's nobody thinking we will finish in the top 4. I haven't seen anyone suggest that. 

Need to try and finish in top half tho. I'd be thrilled with 10th and think we have a decent chance of that but we are now very, very reliant on a couple of key players not getting injured.

If we lose Kamara for any long period of time then I put us about 12th/13th. If he stays fit and Ollie has a good end to the season we can finish top half.

I usually go to Game Bar on Sukhumvit main road between Soi 11 and soi 7 or the Robin Hood on about soi 37.

Obviously we dont know the reasons but IF she is now saying it didnt happen should she not be arrested for wasting police time and perverting the course of justice? 

And IF she is saying it did happen but she does t want to testify then the law is seriously f****** and should be taken out her hands. 

Could see this coming a mile away. 

I like Bertie. A maverick in the truest sense of the word.

The street food in koh chan, phi phi and in some places in phuket wereuch better. All down to personal preference i guess

I've spent about 4 years in Thailand in total and probably about 2 of those years between the places you mentioned. (The rest being in BKK and Samui/Phangan/Tao)

I always miss the food in Bangkok whenever I go south because I know the standard of food will drop, the prices will rise and the authenticity of most of it just disappears.

Ramsey must be worth 70 million in that case

You think Ramsey is better than Gallagher? Not only that but nealt twice as good? 

I reckon it's the other way around if anything.

The only place i thought the street food was garbage was Bangkok 

Bangkok has the best street food of any city in the world. Its famous for it. 

Having lived there several times, I can attest to that, but, you need to be sure you know where you are getting it from.

If you go to the wrong area then of course you can have a bad experience. But by and large, the best food in one of the world's most famous foodie nations can be found on the streets of its capital.

It'll never come crashing down. Never. Far too much money involved for that to happen.

Literally starting to dislike them more than city

If you mean "Manchester" City then there's never been a lot between them for me in terms of dislike. If you mean Birmingham then no chance. Although I'm guessing you mean the Mancs.

Used in moderation they're fine. You probably don't notice half the women who use them. But agree that a lot of women use too much of them and it doesn't look great.

But then who are we to tell women what they should look like?

I don't tell them what to look like. I just don't get why they do it. It looks hideous and more often than not, hilarious.

Lip fillers (Not a single woman with them doesn't look like a duck)

90s clothes. As pointed out by @KentVillan, just make people look stupid. Nobody looks smart or attractive in overly baggy clothes. It's the opposite of sexy.

Burgers/Pizza. They are moderately ok things to eat and there's definitely a time for either. But how the hell have they conquered the world so much so that every 2nd restaurant is dedicated to either one or both? There's so much to eat out there and so many amazing dishes from around the world, it baffles me that practically all new restaurants now are burger joints or pizzerias.

Tattoos. Nobody had them for decades and now almost everyone not only has one, but many have the SAME one. Very individual.

No socks with shoes. I mean, wtf.

Now you've done it. Really hope you're right or you're going to look very silly indeed............

Of course they aren't. When they scabbed that League Cup ein they were at least a Premier League side.

It's too nice isn't it. Good structure, no Petrol Dollar owners, a seagull for a mascot, seaside, no Chinese betting xPro247 betting sponsor, no shit hole stadium.

It's just nice. 

I bet there are queues for orange juice at half time. 

The ground is in such a beautiful area too.

When we beat them in November we stayed for the weekend and not only is the city great, the ground is in the most picturesque countryside it looks like something out of an Enid Blyton novel.

Lovely walk to a local country pub about 10 mins from the ground with cottages and rolling hills everywhere.  (Tho they made us cover our colours as no away fans. Must be due to their raucous reputation. Lol)

People pointing that out narks me.  Everyone knows what they mean when they say it. Just reminds me of the IT guy in The Office when he's correcting Gareth about Enter The Dragon or whatever it was.

I don't point it out to people as that would be annoying. It just grates on me that people use the word Premiership as I never liked that title even at the time.

People calling the Premier League the "Premiership". It hasn't been called that for about 20 years and yet I hear it often.

Anthony Gordon. Everton have made some bad decisions in recent years but they have had Newcastles pants down here. 

Thank god for that. I was worried the Saudis were making sensible signings. This is the kind off hyped up expensive crap I've been hoping they would sign.

More please!

RE: bogey teams, that's a load of superstitious nonsense. There might be differences in play style that mean we don't match up well but a competent manager will recognise that and reduce or eliminate it.

I work with a lot of ex Man United players and a couple of them have said the same thing when I asked how they always beat us at Villa Park.

They said Fergies team talk was just "we never lose here". That's it. And boy did it work.

West Ham won't be going down.

They'll stay up comfortably. Not only that, but next season they will be looking to break that top 7 again so they are about as rival a club as its possible to get. 

Their London base makes them an attractive proposition for players and their stadium is 50% bigger than ours. (Not in the same class of course)

It's a no brainer that it'd be far better for us for West Ham to go down than for us to get a measly 3m quid but they won't be going anywhere. Sadly.

Chelsea handing out another 7 year deal to sign Lyon's Gusto for £30m. Utter farce.

It really is. They've got some huge financial commitments for the next few years as a Europa League team.

That FA cup replay is an extra game added to an already busy fixture list. Perfect. 

Exactly. They aren't gonna win the FA Cup so all these extra games for a team in a relegation scrap aren't gonna help them.
