But will we?

Also the fewest starting XI changes by a long way. 34 as opposed to Liverpool’s 135. We were mid table with 90. Crystal Palace were next lowest with 64. From The Times (paywall) https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-alternative-premier-league-tables-7qbx6ktvd

Did he give away his boots and socks too? I couldn’t see that far down.

Or knew that he was going?

He was given an entry into the Europa Cup and totally blew it. Throwing the Home cup game against Arsenal was even worse and is as underachieving as you could possibly get.

I agree with all of you. Lovely to see him on the Lap of Appreciation with his wife and kiddie. They certainly seemed to be enjoying it all.

It’s broken up into various offshore schemes. Paying for ‘image rights’ through an offshore company is one way.

He knows the players and he knows the club. What we need now is a period of stabilisation especially with a very short transfer window.

There is zero reason except for greed.

Job done. Not just today but over the last few games. Hughes has found a way to get the results out of this set of players but I’d like to think that with a full pre-season and a better knowledge of the players and with a few changes we can look forward to a period of stabilisation. Glad this season is out of the way. Let’s move on.

Me too. Anyone who was at Pride Park that night will feel the same.

We underachieved with Puel.

Indeed. It will have been an escape, but not that great.

I was probably bored to sleep after ten minutes.

Isn’t that just observer bias?

I wasn’t at the game, was just making a point. Whether it suits one team more than the other cannot be taken into consideration, of course.

Unfair? It was the same for both teams and if we had scored in that time would you have felt the same way? Just saying...

Ne meither.

Indeed. The line up beforehand with the phony handshakes is more than enough. What was wrong with both teams running out onto the pitch kicking footballs in front of them?

I think we should give them one. In the true sense of the word.

I came back on the train sitting opposite a young lad who was given Shane Long’s shirt at the end of Tuesday’s game. It is absolutely tiny, a ‘medium’.

That was a great day. The equaliser that we scored for them after the stopage was planned and agreed between the teams, allegedly. Back off the pitch we knew that we were safe with a draw and the first chance we get Monkou (?) plants a great heady right inside the foot of our post. Cue all the players and officials belting for the tunnel and another picth invasion.

What, 1-0 ?

Every point was a good point.

I must have missed that even though I was at all the home games. Which game were you thinking of?
