Yes but a lot of this is due to the uncertain nature of the points deductions. And how nobody knows how many points we might be deducted. Obviously all self inflicted though. Baffling the decline we’ve seen over the last 2.5 years.

wonder if we get much for his staff as well

I think it’s purely the “just keep us up” mentality. Staying up this year would solve loads of our financial issues assuming we don’t spend loads of money this summer

Nah I think Sunderland won the league with 12 losses.

Ideally we’d have someone who could stabilise us and keep us up playing good football. I don’t think that person exists for sure though. More likely to me we’ll go for someone who will play nice football, rather than purely looking for stability. We were in a much more precarious situation this time last year and we took a massive gamble on Maresca which paid off. We might feel like taking another gamble.

You aren’t serious?

Undoubtedly, yes

I reckon for the main parties we'll see something like this, maybe a few more SNP -> LAB considering the direction of polling and not as many others, but more or less this. It will take something astonishing for it to not be a landslide.

There was definitely one at the end of 2021/22 because I attended it. Wasn’t one last year due to relegation. Can’t speak for before 2021 though.

It wasn’t for Top’s friends, it’s an annual club staff party. Held every year (last year notwithstanding due to relegation). Normally hundreds of the staff (every level from players to cleaners) and their friends/family attend. Does seem bad they didn’t mention this to you though.

Equally, how many clubs net 31 wins? Last club to do it was us in 2013/14. Only other clubs in the 21st century are Reading and Man City, who also won 31 each.

It’s an EFL registration ban, not EPL.

Honestly, Mavididi and KDH have been so awful

Great pass but that’s awful for Coady

I’m turning to jesus

Why can’t our strikers score

Why didn’t KDH overlap vardy there?

It’s the weakness of this system, the RB is almost always out of position defensively when we lose possession.

We looks extremely shaky

Everything basic looks so hard for us

Confidence looks rock bottom, even simple 2 yard passes are off

KDH needs to calm down and just play some simple passes

Opta define a “big chance” as A situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score, usually in a one on one scenario or from very close range when the ball has a clear path to goal and there is low to moderate pressure on the shooter. Penalties are always considered big chances.
