Super Computer prediction so far. I don't know where they expect us to get 41points.

 

Team	Predicted Points
Man City	86
Liverpool	76
Tottenham	69
Arsenal	68
Chelsea	63
Man United	61
Brighton	60
Newcastle	53
Brentford	50
Crystal Palace	49
West Ham	47
Aston Villa	46
Leeds United	45
Southampton	44
Wolves	43
Fulham	42
Leicester City	41
Everton	39
Bournemouth	34
Nottingham Forest	32

Baffling really. If it factors in a sacking then we'd get 50+ but if not then we won't even hit 30. It must have a virus.

Exactly what I said yesterday.

 

It's just how it works. Brighton fans don't complain when they're taking Potter from Swansea or Maupay from Brentford.

But it's the sheer financial dominance that the likes of Chelsea have. It's totally out of scale with most clubs in the league, which is very unhealthy and means they can basically raid the 'other 14' whenever they want. Even if an 'other 14" club tries to resist or is having a great season themselves it makes no difference as Chelsea's vast weight of cash always wins in the end. Kanté leaving to join them after our title win is a great example. Whilst we can't afford to sack our manager Chelsea are busy spending about £40m on changing managers like it's mere pennies they're dealing with, even after spending about £200m plus on players this summer. Personally, I think that is very different to a club in a higher league (Brighton) giving a chance to a manager who has done okay, but not amazingly, at a club in the Championship (Swansea).

Taking 41 points from the next 32 games would mean having to achieve a circa 30% increase in our run rate compared to this calendar year so far.

 

We're down for certain without sacking the manager immediately.

When are the PL squads announced ??  Did I miss them  or do we wait for the Turkish window to shut ?

[trugerkem]

Steve Cooper is 2nd favourite to be next manager to go …. That is the football world we live in currently

It shut yesterday. 

 

Squads are submitted on 1st September. Free agents can be added at any time if there are spaces.

Don't think that's anything to do with the threat of Forest sacking him but probably more to do with him being linked (And 2nd fav) for the Brighton job.

Is the 3pm blackout only for UK football? 

 

Just seen Bayern game tomorrow is on Sky Sports football at 2.30pm. So wonder because the football in UK is cancelled tomorrow they're airing that?

Yes - the fa don’t care about continental football

Haha, I get the impression football authorities thought they’d look good, set an example but they're just getting rightly (imo) criticised.

Looking at PL and EFL Cup schedule, looking like 17-19th Jan* when games could be rearranged for at the earliest? Between now and World Cup, midweeks are taken up by European football or midweek PL games.

 

And the EFL Cup is 8/9th Nov. Europe group stages conclude a week earlier.

 

At least Klopp will have his excuse for Liverpool being shit.

 

This will be epic, historic, previously unimaginable levels of moaning.

That’s a very good point… I didn’t think that through

 Could be a bit of a PR disaster if they start complaining though .

 

I think most teams will play next week unless they are in London.

yep more than likely will be off even if the funeral is Monday ( which is the rumour) 

 

The last thing they will want is a mass of Football fans in London that weekend as well. 

 

The security in London will be on ultra high alert as i imagine the majority of the worlds leaders will be there. 

And the tens of thousands of people descending on London as The Queen will lie in state over the weekend. 

I can't see the police wanting to use resources for football. 

[NasPb]

One thing I'll never understand as a foreigner is why they take so long in doing the funeral. It should be done asap for respect to the body and the family

Theoretically they could still change their mind.

To make things even worse, that includes those 3 wins at the end of last season against teams not even trying.

Yes, which precludes it as an option where the FA is concerned.

[The whole world smiles]

Christian fuchs starting for fc Charlotte in half an hour should be plenty of streams about if anyone needs their Saturday football fix!

Liverpool play Chelsea next Sunday the day before the funeral  in London so likely to be another postponed so more ammunition for a full on Klopp moan

[mohammedsaqib]

Brighton fans must be feeling like we did when MON left. Just won 5-2, playing really well, fans excited, feeling like you’re on the cusp of something really special. And then poof
