A generous interpretation might be that if we did actually put money down to replace Kasper, it wouldn't have been as disastrous as it turned out being just relying on Ward.

Understandable

Dunno, I'd take that Coal Palm Oil

Not sure Lopetegui survives a draw

11 in a row, I don't think it's a debate

Ipswich lose. Those final 20 minutes have massively changed the outlook at the bottom

Mark my words, Forest won’t win a trophy for the next 50 years. No use getting our knickers in a twist .

Hate to see Forest winning but great to see Man United get humbled, get in the mud both of them imo

One more year

Terrified me for a minute there

Naaaaa na na, na na na na, na na na na, Hey Ruud

Looks like you sobered up over the course of writing this post.

No Maryland strip burger slander on this message board please

Does this mean we're going to be playing in the Top Stadium?

Wouldn't mind Carrick

Stevie Cooper is a red

Think they’ll bully us and we’ll lose

To the tune of “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain” Oh, Wout Faes is in our backline, what a guy! (What a guy!) Oh, Wout Faes is in our backline, what a guy! (What a guy!) He multiplies the dumplings, Keeps attackers fumbling, Oh, Wout Faes is in our backline, what a guy! (What a guy!)

Brighton's scouting is famously crap and has been for years, this makes sense

You hear about it all the time but it’s mad to witness referees’ obvious Repulsive Six bias first hand. We’ve been gash though.

I think it's generally agreed that the bottom 3 last season may have been the worst in the PL era. This season, if we assume Southampton and Ipswich will make up the bottom 2, there is no real candidate for who will take up 18th place. Wolves look most likely at the minute but I can't see them being this rubbish for long. Same with Palace. Everton are the unflushable turd. Considering the finishes of Palace, Wolves and Everton last season, it's probably fair to say that should we finish 17th, the team in 18th will probably have many more than 27 points. I'd personally say 36 would be enough, not from any calculus, just vibes.

General feeling is the Championship was more enjoyable, but we were winning near enough every week. The rush from winning a PL game is significantly more satisfying though.

I heard that

Would have been horrible. At the time, VAR overruling goals with a handball quite far back in the build-up was pretty common.

Did look handball to me. I remember hearing Kasper say he didn't celebrate the goal because he thought it would be chalked off.
