HP1

Spring 2017-Spring 2019 it was pretty bang average. As good as winning the league and cup was, I do think we probably should have even won more. If only Kante had given us another season. I think we might have gotten past Atletico to the semi finals of the champions league. Roma in the conference league was a 50/50 game as well. Win that and we win the competition in my eyes. Not to forget the league cup near miss in 2020. Probably never again as well, at least in my lifetime.

In all seriousness there's no way I'd suggest that semi pro standard manager, but who knows maybe we will see him on the way down when we need promotion from league 2

Excruciating season for them with that and losing 2 cup finals - one of them to us in the replay after we equalised in the last minute. Painful.

We are where we are

The Port Vale bloke if we can get him

Filling in as security while one of the heavies are on paternity leave

Agreed. Before it even started I thought we'd go behind and score a 2nd half equaliser and some would be talking about what a "top point/cracking little point" it was ala James maddison circa 2023 at Brentford away when about to get relegated.

Its a midtable team who have just beaten a bottom 6/7 team away and another midtable team at home.

£10 million is a drop in the ocean in our situation. Still think we'd get nearer £20 million even in league 1. Despite that, he's hardly someone who I'd count on for a team supposedly with ambitions of pushing for European places.

Out of interest, what do you perceive his value to be?

Daka certainly wasnt

We went down with 52 points in the only time we have been relegated to league 1 last time. We wont get to 52 even with the 6 points added back on, so yes.

Daka had about 3 on his own

If we had an average championship striker we'd be 3-1 up

Beats when you're smiling

Portsmouth have us and Birmingham at home and Stoke away who are also poor. They have to play the top 3 teams but one of them games is a game in hand anyway.

They're going down. It will be Peterborough or Burton. Fighting it out to be the Midlands 10th best club (Peterborough is more anglia I concede).

To be fair, Daka puts his penalty away at watford and Thomas puts his header in a yard out at Stoke and he has 3 wins and 3 draws out of 8. Fine margins that he couldnt control (albeit his decision to have Daka on penalties I concede).

If this was us, some of our lot would have missed the calvert lewin goal in the 75th minute never mind the stoppage time comeback.

Don't particularly like southampton either. Boring club with a boring history. But to think how rampant they've been recently, and the fact that we finished above them last season shines even more of a light on how utterly pathetic we have been this season.

Okolis red card against Charlton was on the half way line

We need at least 3 wins with one of them being Portsmouth away. Portsmouth have 2 very winnable games in their last 2 with Stoke away and Birmingham at home. Add oxford at home in to that and we require snookers in my opinion if we draw at fratton park. That's even if we beat Sheffield Wednesday. 3 in form teams at home in Swansea, Millwall and Hull and I can't see more than 1-2 points in these games.

100% red card. He bottled it as refs often do in this division.

Brendan Rodgers' PR team. He needs an army of them on the payroll to try to polish his ever replicating turds.
