WAH GONNA WIN THA LEEEEEEG

Got em eventually

The average for a 6 person household is 592 litres. I'm not wanking that much

Got a new revised bill from the water company after they'd sent a bloke around to take a reading from the meter under the footpath. Going from about £50 to c£110 a month. They reckon I'm using, on average 978 litres a day. I find fault with this.

Losing tonight won't be fun, but it's nothing but a bump in the road. Said it before but you target games to get points, away to Liverpool is a free hit. Howe knows better than me, but given the injuries and Isak's potential unavailability, I'd play Wood deeper with Almiron and Fraser runners beyond him. Longstaff, Willocka nd Joelinton are going to have to press AND manage their counterpress which means releasing the ball early and, most importantly, being brave on the ball. If Targett isn't fit we're going to need to be wary of overloads on our left flank. Burn will be targeted. Man Utd 9-0 Southampton 20/21 followed by a 3-3 draw with Everton Leicester 9-0 Southampton 19/20 followed by a 2-0 win at Palace Man City 8-0 Watford 19/20 followed by a 3-1 win at Everton Southampton 8-0 Sunderland 14/15 followed by a 1-0 win at home to Stoke Chelsea 8-0 Aston Villa 12/13 followed by a 1-0 win at Norwich Chelsea 8-0 Wigan 9/10 was the final game of the season (but they had put 7 past; Sunderland, Villa and Stoke that season) Spurs 9-1 Wigan 9/10 followed by a 1-1 draw at Villa Newcastle 8-0 Shef Wed 99/00 followed by a 3-2 loss at Everton. Man Utd 9-0 Ipswich 94/95 followed by a 1-0 win over Wimbledon I was hoping for some evidence of the foot coming off the gas, but honestly there's only us who lost after such a big win. Three 1-0s though, which wouldn't be a bad result, to be honest.

Apparently it's not a full series, just a 2 part retrospective covering their promotion. Which is a shame as the wheels may well be coming off and, bias aside, I'd much rather watch a documentary about Keystone Cop Chaos, than the polished success of Man City All or Nothing-ing their way to another trophy laden season.

Even looking at the respective shot maps show that a lot of ours were in the box and fairly central. They had to make 11 blocks. The heatmaps show our play was stretched across the length and breadth of the pitch, whereas theirs was in isolated pockets and the hottest part of the map was in their own box. Bruno, Wilson or Isak start that game and we win it by a couple of goals.

We were much the better side; more possession, more touches, more shots, more shots on target, better xG. Neves can fuck off, and anyone complaining about that game can get aboard the FuckOff bus and all.

Their thread on him quickly goes from own brand instant delusional 'we should get him', to artisanally roasted, double shot, chocolate covered, delusional ' he's too inexperienced for us'.

I'd like this Ashby kid from West Ham (RB), I still think we're in for some more quality up at the business end of the pitch too. Edson Alvarez has been mentioned and he's a good DM, but I'm not sure that's a priority area right now. When it's Bruno, Joelinton and Longstaff/Willock, there's plenty of disruption going on so I'm not sure we need a specialist DM right now. We definitely need a threat from the right hand side and personally think we could do with some more depth up front. Some young striker who'd be happy to pick up 10 minutes here and there, but who is an upgrade on Wood. Chris Wood is quickly becoming my scapegoat. I understand why we signed him, and he's done the job we've asked of him, but he was a stop gap and we've now covered that gap.

Yeah, Crystal Palace have 1 more point than Bournemouth and have had the same fixtures, it can't be the results, it has to be the comments. He'll be back in a job soon enough.

Too harsh, for me. Yes they've lost 3,4 and 9-0. But that's against Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool. They've beaten Villa and progressed in the League Cup. Maybe they should get Tony Mowbray in?

It grumpily did. Wood wasn't a blip, it was a needs must transfer at a time we were without our 1st choice, in a relegation scrap, without a DoF, CEO and our manager had only had his feet under the desk for a comparatively short time. We unsettled a relegation rival and his contributions definitely helped us stay up, even if there weren't a lot of goals.

Stop trying to make a podcast happen.

Apparently Neil is leaving 5th placed Sunderland, for 21st placed, transfer embargoed Stoke City.

Stay in your lane, hombre.

De Gea can warm a bench.

Reckon they could persuade Sewpa Kev to leave South Shields?

Imagine, the day you win the lottery and your neighbour switches internet provider. Same vibes.

Whoever he chooses to manage, the other one is going to look fucking stupid.

Listened to Caulkin's podcast earlier and they were talking about how Eddie isn't the same character as Keegan or Robson, that larger than life, exuberant, lightning rod for change. He reminds me a lot, in specific ways, of Hughton. There was a quiet, composed affable if fairly vanilla bloke who oversaw a seismic shift at the football club. The players and fans got behind him, he executed his plan on the pitch with little fanfare. We needed a steady Eddie for that period, and hoo boy do we need one now. Too much ego may have unsettled the existing players and put a wrinkle in the capes of our new heroes. Would Joelinton have been reborn under Emery as he is under Howe? Would we have signed the personalities we did or gone for flashier names? Howe has professionally made us professional. It ain't sexy but it's a fucking fillip
