It's nice to see we're in such esteemed company.

I can fully see him staying.

The so called best in the business!

I don't know if the entire club philosophy should just be bringing players through to sell on or whatnot but it definitely needs to be a facet given the position we're in. It is my main worry about Dyche. Is he the best manager to utilise Monga? Potentially elite talent on our hands and his game is very much about structured and organised - which is important, but it probably isn't all that pragmatic with the tools we have.

I reckon it's quite likely Aiyawatt wants Martin and Rudkin wants Dyche. Will be us to a tee.

Utterly preposterous - against a crap QPR side who rotated themselves. We have bigger issues than the possibility of Dyche.

It's no coincidence at all to me that it was a better end given how slowly it sold - people going who actually wanted to be there rather than those going out of habit.

This went out the window the day Steve Cooper was appointed. I don't think it's some sort of masterplan, they very much wing it. Man City reference was convenient at the time of appointing Maresca - he'd probably ask Dyche if he could have us playing like PSG.

This only really applied if they made the Champions League. Europa League combined with a team who've dropped off anyway and an owner who is clearly going to raise expectations to quite unrealistic levels. I think the groundwork is done for a really tricky season next year. They are also simply not at the level. They've been getting results way better than their performances for a while now. It's caught up with them just in time.

I think if a team overperforms then them actually reverting to the mean isn't that likely. Unsure how best to explain this but to simplify it with simply grading their results/performances - their performances were 6/10 with results that were 8/10. If they continue performing at 6/10, I expect their results to start becoming 6/10, on top of the 8/10 results that they've already gotten. In theory results/performances regressing to the mean should mean they are still above where they should 'really' be. You feel though that their performances have nosedived below 6/10. I genuinely post match yesterday wondered if they could be in a relegation battle next season.

What times kick off

He'd probably end up in Macedonia if you meant literally

I was surprised quite how bad they actually were. I think they're certs for bottom half next season. How far down, who knows.

I do think he's quite harshly rated at times and I think if you were totally, utterly honest, he's probably your best bet of going up and staying up. I don't think he could do much beyond that and I don't think you ever felt like Burnley were really improving year on year, more just surviving. The Everton thing is a weird one. Their fans mostly thought he had to go but also respect the quite tough job he did there. People talk about this massive upturn under Moyes. They have improved but they've definitely flattened out again. Moyes is also better than Dyche. I thought this was fairly obvious. We're a Championship team for the second time in three years. I don't think we have this massive pull that we once did. I thought two years ago we could very much run off credit in the bank but after what's happened this season, we are essentially Farke's Norwich, we're Southampton, we're firmly in this category now through the total and utter neglect of the board. I think he's a limited manager and I do think his lack of track record of bringing younger players through, particularly given the situation we're in where we seem to have numerous promising prospects is a risky one. Even Dyche's biggest fan would have to concede that he's probably not going to be the best person to bring through someone like Monga. I do think he's quite harshly criticised though. A scenario where he got us up next season, kept us up the season after then was sacked in October 2027 following poor start is probably better than what is likely to actually play out at this point. Not my absolute number one but I think in our current situation we could do worse.

We've had absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing all season to enjoy. I'm as miserable as they come about the state of LCFC but random weird games like that need to be enjoyed because every possible attempt to make football unenjoyable in general is happening. I don't take back what I've said about this team this season but they deserve some credit for that.

They're cooked and they know it. The Europa League is a great competition even despite this years final being as bad a final pair of teams as I think I've ever seen make it, and they will enjoy it, but they had a real chance to climb the ladder a bit here and they've blown it. I think they could really struggle next season if today, added to the Europa League is anything to go by. That's a hard competition where they will play you would think a minimum of 12 games. They've been carried a hell of a lot by Wood's ridiculous form. It was always quite likely to level out - just seems to be going far the other way. Massive chance blown for Forest. Our season has been a disgrace and today doesn't stop it being but it's nice to actually have something to genuinely enjoy. Far more fun than beating Southampton.

****ing get in hahahahaha

IGNORED

I've always begrudgingly rated their atmosphere at home. Even back in the Championship. It's set up perfectly for them given the away end and the fact they completely surround you.

Odds are against us but frankly, this lot owe us a performance after this utter shit show of a season. I'll accept a draw given the damage it would do to them. However, win.

In all seriousness it's terrible to have anybody else restricting your business. But honestly, our lot might need stopping. It genuinely might be a bit of a safety net. Reminds me a little of when Chelsea had their transfer ban. They were forced into giving opportunities to some really bright young players that they may have otherwise shunned.

all of a sudden thinking this business plan is actually a bit of a godsend rather than a problem. Make a mess and get punished by having our mess cleaned up for us. This lot really do have a talent.

The whole "stay humble" business. Proceed to prove Haaland correct.

In a nutshell why even beating Real Madrid didn't quite fool me. They have previous for doing this. Do something impressive, declare themselves winners, go on to not win it.
