Just out of interest, by show of hands, who on here was not actually aware that SAGE were asked to provide worst case scenario modeling, or that the media may take these projections and use them for clicks and scary headlines?

Watching West Brom - Cardiff, all kicking off after the final whistle. Two players red carded after F.T.

Bright ‘flash’ surely?

Without JWPs bizarre cross field pass in the 97th minute, Brighton would have been level on points with us an hour ago. He’s a decent mid-table manager, like Ralph, Hodgson, Nuno and Smith. Nothing more.

I'm not sure what you mean by that but the experience of Long and Walcott does not appear to be adding anything of value to the squad. If they are then I dread to think what we'd be like without them.

We’ve been crap for almost the entirety of 2021, none of our youngsters have made any impression on the first team. The likes of Obafemi and Jankewitz were dogged by rumours of poor motivation and an unprofessional attitude. We’ve been mentally weak, constantly shipping goals in injury time, throwing away leads and having lapses in concentration. If Long and Walcott are here to instal morale and a professional attitude in their teammates then I want my money back.

When I first saw the thread title, he did immediately leap to mind as the kind of bloke who makes the hens in Burnley stop laying. Actually it was my second thought after, "I guess Austin doesn’t count anymore."

Well, onto the next maybe fixture I guess. Swansea’s game against Fulham on Monday has already been called off due to covid cases in the South Wales camp.

I’d prefer to have a nice healthy gap to four sh*t teams at the bottom, before I start worrying about the ethics of who owns Newcastle. In other news, two decent West Ham goals. Defending a bit ropey for the second.

More to the point he’s 31 and Newcastle won’t be competing for anything for at least four or five years.

Everton’s new signing, Vitaliy Mykolenko, "I have seen the last few games at Goodison Park and they were unbelievable." Everton’s last five games at Goodison Arsenal - Won 2-1 Liverpool - Lost 1-4 Spurs - Drew 0-0 Watford - Lost 2-5 West Ham - Lost 0-1

Weirdly, it’s the people obsessively posting these articles every day who are also telling everyone else how scared we are.

It’s hard to hate any of them, they’re all the same bland, soulless PR exercise of some foreign, human rights abusing regime.

No, he thinks the Saudis are too liberal and progressive when it comes to women.

It's all part of the role play, stir up a bit of passion.

I've not deleted anything (at least I don't think I have) it's all been split off onto this thread

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10353027/France-sees-208-000-Covid-cases-24-hours-Europes-highest-daily-tally.html 200,000 cases reported in a day (f**k knows how many actual cases) and they won’t let me in, tripled jabbed with a neg. PCR. 😐

4. Don’t skip breakfast so you can have another pint at 5am, then pass out on the flight. 5. You aren’t allowed to grope the arse of a lap dancer in a club, so why you think it’s acceptable to do it to a flight attendant I’ve no idea. 6. Telling a check in agent you have a bomb in your suitcase isn’t as hilarious and original as you might think.

Looks like Justin Hawkins may have relapsed into psychoactive substances again.

4 wins and 4 draws from 19 games should do it. 37 points has been enough to stay up most seasons since we came up. Home games against Newcastle, Watford, Norwich, Palace, Everton and two games against Brentford to come.

Plus McGinn is suspended. It’s like when you address a woman at work by the wrong name, then pause in a moment of sheer horror as you realise you said the vaguely similar name of a pornographic actress. No, just me?

Rodgers deciding Vestergaard isn’t the man to stop Mané, Salah, Jota and AOC this evening. I wonder why.

We can stop caring about Norwich, they will struggle to get into the mid-high twenties this season. If we end up fighting them in the table, it’ll be over 19th place and nobody will give a sh*t anyway.

COYR/Yellows/COYB! Would rest some players for the league/want to go on a cup run/hopefully ASM/Lee Trundle is still injured Great opportunity for three points/into the fourth round Glad/a shame Salisu/KWP is/isn’t suspended Delete as applicable.

13th, ten points above the relegation zone at Christmas with the net cheapest squad in the league. Four points from 5th and 6th in the league in the space of 48 hours and you’re slagging him off for a defeat which hasn’t happened yet. 👍
