Surreymag 71 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I am just enjoying the ride after years of shit and false promises. I agree the WC could be favourable for us but let’s just see what happens. I am confident of top 6 at least which is a great improvement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 IIRC, UEFA get 3 more spots so with 16, it’s still fairly tight. Just looked on Wiki and Asia are getting 8 spots and 6 out of the 10 South American sides are going Let everyone have a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35083 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Have you seen some of the confirmed joint bids for 2030? Spain/Portugal/Ukraine is one but my personal favourite is a joint Egyptian/Greek/Saudi bid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44881 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 The rest of the league should be shitting themselves at the prospect of us getting a mini pre-season with Howe. Given the absolute magic he worked with his one full pre-season so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6682 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 11 hours ago, ohhh_yeah said: A really subtle point but I noticed him making reference to the Norwich game where "we had a player sent off early in the match." He didn't refer to Clark by name despite the fact he's still technically our player. I reckon Clark indelibly marked his own cards that day and further cemented it with his second red card in the Al-Ittihad friendly. It also sends a strong message to the rest of the squad as to who the boss is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were others that had the potential to go down a similar path. IIRC Shelvey's red card against Spurs was stupid but he seemed to sort himself out. What is everyone's 'sliding doors' moment of last season? The win away to Leeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6682 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Over the course of the last 38 league games under Howe: P 38 W 20 D 9 L 9 GF 56 GA 43 GD +13 PTS 69 In last season's table we'd have finished 5th - level on points and GD with Arsenal but ahead of them by virtue we'd have scored more goals - 56 vs 48. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to you it's possible Fraser is going to the World Cup to be inside that La'eeb headdress ghost sting-ray mascot thing that they refuse to identify. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
