Yeah, looks to me like 3-4-2-1 in possession (not that we have the ball very long), then 4-5-1 when Burnley have the ball?

Agreed. It's a cliche, but there are no easy games whatsoever in this league. So if anything, I'd say that starting with a home game against a team lower in the table is more of an unwanted banana skin, because people perceive it to be a cinch.

We really haven't been anywhere near as poor as King (+ a small number of loud voices on here) seemed to believe. It's complex elite sport. Sometimes a team can stutter a bit despite best efforts, lose a touch of confidence, not have the rub of the green. Sometimes a couple more little pieces...

Nostalgic memories of the days when the CET and the Pink were pretty much the only regular source of information about all things Sky Blue. Buying the Telegraph every afternoon to see the latest about the team and transfer news; waiting outside the paper shop at 6pm on a Saturday for a bundle of...

Yeah, connecting two concourses on completely different levels seems physically impossible. Pretty sure if there was a practical way of doing it they would have by now. Don't suppose the tunnel could be used in some way for exit purposes?? Is the problem significant enough to warrant laborious...

Official new ball boys' uniform

Yes I'm pretty sure he said that's what he asked Robins to implement, and Robins had to go because he didn't do it. So if there was supposed to be someone between Robins and the other coaches, it's only natural that the same would apply under the new boss. Maybe it's just a question of numbers -...

Are you meditating?

Yeah, he wasn't good enough but is now too good to let go?

When you woke up with "Lamps"?

But in better nick?

Not that it matters now, but I wonder whether Carr was ever considered for the role that Robins was dismissed for failing to fill? Weren't the players rumoured to have complained that the standard of coaching had dropped? Yet here we are with people praising Carrs's ability to get a tune out of...

If keepers got booked more often for time wasting, the bookies' odds would simply change to reflect that.

How much is Udogie in the window? 🐶

Yep. The siilest thing is the way the result influences the individual ratings. If Thomas had hit the post instead of scoring the equaliser, every single player's rating would have dropped by a couple of points, without there being any difference in their performance.

Where's this idea come from that the dark arts are on the increase and everyone's doing it so we need to join in? This kind of stuff was way more prevalent in the past, and thankfully you see less of it now with cameras everywhere etc. Quite amusing i guess to see Bassette get the guy sent off...

Surely it was different configurations in and out of possession.

That's all fine, but I'm not 'you guys' and I've never said a single word about Lampard's achievements. That's a problem on here - chucking people onto perceived opposing camps. I think Robins should still be here but I also think the gamble of bringing Frank in stands a chance of paying off.
