A bit scary looking at the goal difference between us and Spurs already - they're better off by 18! Can't see us clawing that back, even with over half the games to play so we'll need to finish a point ahead of them at worst.

We're two points clear of them. They'd swap, given the choice.

Yeah, but we all enjoy being told a team currently in 6th has 'no chance' of finishing 5th several times, don't we?

I don't know, I don't like to get into arguments on here (which is why I haven't pointed out in off-topic that Lennon was way better than McCartney) but once you've read something 20 times it kind of feels like 'yeah, you already have enough to quote come May when, if we do finish 8th, you were shown to be correct. That's enough.'

All I know is that whenever I have heard McCartney sing live over the last 20 years, I really, really want him to stop. I mean he died in a crash anyway, but this one, just retire please mate.

Some things are rather like fighting back the tide.

Most of what McCartney wrote sounds pretty fucking naff to me, but then I was 20ish before I realised there are people out there who genuinely like Michael Jackson and non-gay men who have gone to see musicals unironically.

So I'm the one who is out of touch. Which is fine by me.

To save a Twitter click:



Feels like the sort of thing that will change every couple of results. If Amorim is anything close to what he's cracked up to be and they put a run together then I'd imagine they'll do it, but all those teams are capable of sticking three wins together then following them with three defeats.

If we have a second half of the season like 22-23, then we'll probably be fine. If we have a second half of the season lke 23-24 then we won't.

We are in the mix still, while being very inconsistent. The likes of Forest, Brentford and Bournemouth are playing at their full potential at the moment - if we can sort ourselves out, then we have more than enough to finish 5th...

I reckon Bournemouth will make the Champions League and, while I'm doing crazy predictions, Chelsea will win the league.

As the match thread is gone.  I am still utterly pissed off about Saturday and it is indicative of our form this season.  Too inconsistent and as weak as pee so I think we will be top 10.
