Its a fair point, but we have still cocked up with trying to play 4411 without a recognised nr 10. Still dont understand the type of stikers we signed although wood is a good player. Totally bewildered that we did nothing about it in January. Perhaps email the club since you know better than Dyche ...

Those worshippers in the church remind me of David Koresh and his followers, the Branch Davidian sect. They were so well armed they were able to out-gun the ATF.

Just hope we don't do a WBA who last season like us this stormed the first half but tanked in 2017 into 2018. Won 3 drew 2 and lost 10 of last 15 in 17-18 season and W9 D7 L7 of the first 23.

Would you say the first goal by Spurs was an easy decision to make for the ref?

Did Llorente foul the defender, or did the defender foul him first?

Spijed

This is ALWAYS going to be the problem with VAR in football.

There are no clear lines to cross and it will ALWAYS be down to the opinion of the guy watching the TV.

No different to a ref having an opinion. So what's the point having it?

The QPR game was the first game that I was taking my 5 year old grandson to watch and I drove down from Ashington to Sheffield and then across to Burnley and when I was in the area I heard that the game was off because an 18 year old QPR player had been killed in a car accident in the early hours. ...

It's been debated (including by me) on a number of occasions and due to teams playing each other, even finishing 17th is going to require a unique set of results for it to happen.

It's not mathematically impossible, but highly unlikely.

Bit like tossing heads, say 50 times in a row (although I don't know the probably of that in comparison to us getting relegated).

Although virtually impossible, if the unthinkable did occur and we did indeed finish in 18th a few heads would have to roll as it would be a total disaster for the club!

The ratio of standing to seating is about 1.7:1 I think?

Says he's wearing the yellow ribbon in support of those who just want a democratic right to vote and share their views peacefully. He then gets asked about human rights and torture in the UAE.

It was a bit false for Wigan fans as they'd bought their way up the leagues and probably developed a sense of entitlement that we never will because we don't have a sugar daddy like Dave Whelan.

We have probably the worst form in the league at the minute but because we're 7th it seems we cannot question it or have any opinion other than "we're flying though, remember Orient".

But if we end up finishing the season in a pretty much similar spot to last season, surely the "well we have more points than last so far" argument is gone.

However it's more than likely we will end up in our highest position for a long, long time so that has to be progression although in respect to the first half of the season we are regressing.

DSR did an excellent analysis based on the 40 point scenario (#19). Perhaps the total has now changed with one game more being played.
