  1. Don’t think we’ll be complacent because everyone knows how good we have to be to keep in touch now. That said we’ve got a lot of injuries so it’ll be really tough test for us.
  2. I feel bad for him because I feel he's one of those players who needs regular game time to be in any kind of form. Very ill suited to the one game every 2 months role. Hoping our first buy in January will be a big stick from B+Q to keep poor Callum away from the first team.
  3. Weighted to a certain extent - you get more points for CL but a good run in Conference League for us would help no end.
  4. So in conclusion if we draw we are top. If we lose they need a 4 goal swing in their favour for goal difference. ie we lose by 1 and they win by 3 (or something similar). Or a 3 goal swing and they score more than 3 goals. Is that correct?
  5. Never struck me as a mentality monster but definitely got abiity. When he was with us I always struggled to see what his best position was but actually he'd fit into the McGinn/Tielemans role pretty much perfectly. I hope he gets a move or things improve for him. Will be a lot of promising young players ruined by Chelsea hope he isnt one of them.
  6. All opinions but in real time its no where near a pen. Completely agree that if it had been the other end we'd have been fuming but we'd have been wrong too. Thats why we have (hopefully) impartial refs rather than fans shouting to decide what happens.

    Chelsea

    On a slightly different level but I’m sure there were clubs saying similar about us in Championship at times as we tried to buy the league and just looked awful. Football is FULL of people who will gladly rinse you for money if you don’t know what you are doing.

    Chelsea

    After every game Unai says there are 7 teams better placed than us to get top 4. He is including Chelsea in that but every game that goes by it’s starting to look like he’s taking the piss.
  9. I’ve seen McGinn mention this a few times, in terms of Unai making clear his standards will be met or he’ll bring in new players. Unai also mentioned it in an interview recently. Seems very iron fist but I guess this is what he means by being demanding. He is pushing them to their limits to see who has what it takes to take us where we need to be. Very odd feeling to have this kind of mentality at the heart of our club.
  10. Also a good example why these stats need to be taken with a pinch of salt. Interesting but nothing else. Had Watkins scored very good chance his would have been onside and Martinelli’s was definitely offside. So that skews figures a bit.
  11. They are both God and so are you. https://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html
  12. Plug that into my veins. People talk about winners and a winning mentality but then there is this guy which is just a separate level again.
  13. Got a feeling he will get a start on Thursday as we’ll need to give first team as much rest as possible. Hopefully he’s closer to the Newcastle performance than the Stevenage or any of the more recent games.
  14. That moment when he’s asked in the Sky interview how he feels after the game. HAPPY ! I got a photo but file size is too big to upload. Will work on it and come back to you. Might turn it into a poster it’s that good.
  15. I think you are probably right. Was thinking to myself after the game if we can finish the season above them we’ll have done alright.
  16. Does anyone else think it’s a pen when he had his big chance in the second half. He beats Dias who puts his arm straight across his chest and clearly stops him getting a shot off cleanly. Looked incredibly blatant to me but not seen a single person mention it during or after the game.
  17. Hope he got to watch last night. Real legend, sad loss.
  18. They set up their press to give him the ball and block off Torres. That did not work. His range of passing is excellent.
  19. Agreed it’s an odd decision by ref by also odd way pundits make out it was a nailed on goal. Most likely scenario is he cuts back and recycles the ball to Cancelo.
  20. I think that’s fair. It’s all your own viewpoint. For me he did everything you said but also really nearly scored for about 6/7 games running which “felt” promising. Not sure if that was a false dawn or not. Seen plenty of players like Bailey and even Watkins in last years who flit between world beaters and not knowing how to kick a football so tough to judge a player too early.
  21. Agreed left wing isnt his position but by all account no 10 is. Got McGinn and Bailey ahead of him for RW so needs to do more than today in 10 role to earn a place.
  22. I’m in the same camp that felt like he looked very promising initially and more disappointing more recently. Thought he was poor today but to be fair McGinn and Duran didn’t do any better second half. We weren’t great as a team, tough one for the forward players.
  23. Yeah what does Toady know. 30 yard screamer for the win coming up.
  24. There are a few things about Tesla unrelated to the cyber truck that have reminded me of that episode. I own one, some things about it are brilliant and feel very futuristic some incredibly bad and feel very backward. It’s an odd car. TBF one I own is a bit old, my old man has a brand new one and all the crap stuff seems to be gone.
