Good data this is! It’s put things into perspective a little bit. If we can get revenge on Ipswich before the New Year, that’ll put a lot of people at ease.

I’m not. We created the same xG against Boro and scored 4 goals (1.95 xG). It didn’t help that Haji missed 2 big chances in the first half. It’s annoying that he’s missed big xG chances a lot.

Optimistically, the prices will drop because fans won’t pay it. FIFA tried this stunt at the Club World Cup and prices hit a floor. I’ve already scaled back my plans for the World Cup, at the most I’ll do the quarters to the final should we get there. If it’s going to I stayed out in Germany...

This is where performances need to be judged rather than the results. The results are overall, quite negative but the performances in both games were quite good. McKenna said that Ipswich’s performance against Stoke last night was better than their 3-0 win over us because it was smash and grab...

Actually, that’s a v fair point. BTA being out for 6 weeks is a real sucker punch because he covers 2-3 positions. We need to get to Jan and reinforce and I’m confident the club won’t pass up such a golden opportunity in this next transfer window. What’s an extra £1-2m on transfer fees if the...

Agree and we did that for Haji’s disallowed goal. On KKH and Sakamoto, they did lack chemistry. Frankly, my honest opinion is that Sakamoto struggles without MVE. He seems to have even admitted this in a recent interview because he said that he relies on MVE’s overlapping runs when he can’t...

Personally, I’d have taken off Sakamoto because his crossing and was poor and didn’t take anyone on v PNE. That said, you lose more defensively which is a consideration when you’ve got KKH finding his way for form.

MVE did play v Ipswich, both games we’ve lost there’s been 3-4 absences and highlights how thin the squad can be. I have no issues with the performance on Tuesday to be honest. 9/10 we win that game comfortably and it was a game where we uncharacteristically underperformed our xG. One poor...

I stand corrected! 2-2-5 after Saturday…

You left out the obligatory ice facial at 4:35.

I avoid LinkedIn like the plague. It’s become Facebook for professionals. It’s certainly has its uses for job seekers though. It’s my first port of call when looking at vacancies. My advice for anyone seeking work to put their CV on all sites because you never know what recruiters will see on...

That’s rough Saddle, I hope all works out in the end! I’ve been on the other side of it, a few years ago 2 people in my team went through the redundancy process and it’s a depressing thing to go through. It’s a rough time to be a job seeker too, the economic outlook for many businesses is grim...

Praise hostels and airbnb.

They also don’t travel that well in the first place. Their faux outrage looks silly to be honest an of course has nothing to do with the recent poor form (2-2-3 since November).

We’ll get one in Saudi too in 2034… great.

It's asymmetric multiculturalism. We rightly have to tolerate their cultural norms and practices in their countries but that same thing isn't afforded to us. It's pretty indicative of the West at present. FIFA should double down and if the teams want to postpone the match, their loss.

Yep, when people tell you what they think, believe them.

Stoke are dropping off badly, 4 losses in 5. Soon to be 5 in 6 if Ipswich win. Ipswich’s home form has been bang on this season, 6-4-1 if they win tonight. It’s their away form that’s iffy. As impressive as Southampton have been, it’s been weighted towards their home performances. They lost...

Why? It’s pretty obvious we will be active in the transfer market. Even dropping to 1.5 ppg (so win-loss) gets us to 83 points. Boro are projected to hit 89-90 points at their current run rate. Southampton require 2.3 ppg and Ipswich also need 2.15 ppg to hit 90 points assuming they win...

It’s the same for playoffs too. We’d have to hit rock bottom relegation form to not finish in the playoffs, let alone the top half!
