His passing is ****ing awful for a supposed "world class" player (which he isn't btw). Against us he got the jammiest assist ever, stuck his leg out and that was that. He then gave the ball away near his own box and Barnes scored because of his mistake. I don't have an opinion on Bruno Fernandes but who's that girl?

Having said that, I've got a feeling they'll beat us next week, we still finish above them but one of their highlights of the season will be next week. I really don't get their rivalry they've created against us. Is it borne out of jealousy? Something they've tried to do for 25+ years we've managed to do in the space of 5 years? Jealous we won the title before them? Jealous that we're in a position they want to be in and now they feel there's another side to try and overcome aside from the bigger clubs (not Arsenal)? Tbf our games with Everton are usually good high scoring games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 18 January 2021 Share Posted 18 January 2021 On the average of last ten seasons, we need about another 12 wins for top 4. I got to 9 from our remaining fixtures but the other 3 were harder to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPeakFox Posted 18 January 2021 Share Posted 18 January 2021 I seem to remember someone earlier in the season confidently stating that Manchester City were both in decline and in transition simultaneously. Got a nasty feeling that both possibilities will be proven wrong, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both had issues, and they both go out and pump and £60m on a player to solves a big problem. Despite already spending £100's of millions to solve the same problem.They just keep buying until they get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bezzanator89 Posted 18 January 2021 Share Posted 18 January 2021 Danny Drinkwater has again left Chelsea on loan. This time to a Turkish Super Lig club called Kasimpasa, who are 15th in their league. Better still, Chelsea are still having to pay for most of his £100,000 a week salary, and Kasimpasa were the only club to approach after Danny asked a production company to make a showreel of his finest work. 😂 Well that went well didn't it? 👋🏼 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always makes me laugh how pretty much every game the commentators say Bruno Fernandez isn’t up to his usual standards but nobody ever questions whether he’s actually as good as is made out. Personally think his arrival just highlighted that Man Utd have a decent side but needed someone to knit it together a bit, Fernandes has had that impact but so could others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team seems to be struggling for consistency atm. - but Man City and Liverpool have to be the main two that are expected to find some, and win the league if they find it soon enough. Of course if they don't, then things could get stay really interesting for teams like us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamark Posted 18 January 2021 Share Posted 18 January 2021 Sorry to say if I had to place a bet it would be Man City with us second.They just look so organised and I do enjoy watching Mahrez still,I know but he did well for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We halfway through a season and its a given west brom wont win the title yet their odds are lower than we had at the "start" of our title season. If I ever bet on football its always a small bet for fun, usually once every 6 months or so, as the value for money is horrific compared to other forms of gambling. The most popular bets info is interesting, I remember many claiming our title win was good for the bookies, I argued it wasnt based on the fact since then odds have tightened up on outsiders (to discourage it), and also this is an indicator that people dont just flock to vote on the favourite. e.g. more bets on spurs at 25/1 compared to man city at 5/6, guess which one is going to cost more?

Very true on the point in bold. If West Brom win every game this season they get 71pts which wouldn't have been enough to win any premier league season previously.

This is a compliment to us, not shade. The bookies will never go as high as that again after what we did.
