Don't know if this is of any interest to anyone but each season I like to keep a track of how we've done in comparison to our other PL seasons on a week by week basis, which results in the following graphs (the black line is the most recent): 1.

The obligatory YouTube compilation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dORR15COvIg Can see why Dyche would be keen, looks very versatile. Also in the 2019/20 season he was the seventh fastest player in the Premier League which is something we're crying out for. Interestingly in this interview from a co...

It was bad enough when Watford signed Mattie Pollock from Grimsby, but Brentford snatching Myles Peart-Harris from under our noses really takes the biscuit.
What on earth are these new so-called owners playing at?

Chris Wood's just scored for NZ, 2-1 up against Honduras at the start of the second half. Looking like NZ will be in the competition a while longer.

Given we've been linked via credible sources to the likes of Albrighton, Cornet and Maitland-Niles suggests there is money to spend. I'm confident we'll make at least two signings good enough for the first team before the window is over (admittedly it may not happen until towards the end of the wind...

World Cup qualification matches for NZ which has been condensed into a 6 week period in Jan/Feb 2022 where each country will face a hectic schedule of matches to complete the qualification process.

A few Formula 1 changes: 1. When the car comes into the pits to change tyres, the driver must change them himself. This includes having to fathom out how to put the wheel jack together. 2.

I like to think I went some way towards helping England bowl the Aussies out in the second innings. Watching it on TV, we looked like winning when they were 85-7, but then, annoyingly, Dennis Lillee and Ray Bright began to knock the ball around a bit and edge closer to the winning target. It got to ...

It’s a strange one for me.

I think it would be a good signing if we also get a young pacy winger in. If not I would be slightly disappointed.

If we sign Thomas Robert as well, would that lift your spirits?

At least the vacant managers jobs are filling up. Benitez to Everton and Lucien Favre is in talks to take over at Crystal Palace. Come on Sean. Put pen to paper. You know it makes sense. Favre has had a change of heart and turned Palace down after agreeing to a three year contract. Dyche back to be...

We seemed to have played away at Arsenal quite a few times in January in recent years Looks like our game v Arsenal will coincide with the Africa Cup Of Nations, so they could be without Aubameyang, Partey, Pepe and Elneny. Unfortunately, that also means we'll be missing our goalscorer from last se...

I have a signed shirt from a couple of seasons ago so recognised a few of these. Here's my take: Top left is Jay Rod with Jack Cork just underneath and Matej Vydra to the left. I think it's Ashley Westwood just underneath the Umbro logo. Top left of the sponsor logo is Ashley Barnes with Chris Wood ...

I don't believe there's anything in the Jozwiak link - it's based on an article that says he would be a good signing for Burnley, nothing to indicate we have any interest in him.

A thicker line doesn't make any difference when it comes to one line being in front of another. The lines being the width of the pitch wouldn't change which line was furthest forward. I assume (dangerous when it comes to VAR, I know) that a player will be offside if there is a gap between the two l...

I get your point to an extent but there starting eleven is practically not going to change. This could very well be the starting eleven for them in august even after everyone leaves: Guita Mitchell, Tomkins, Kouyate, Ferguson Riedelwald, milejovic, Zaha, Ayew, Eze/Mateta Benteke That team is not a ...

How about when we won the Championship, finishing as the joint top scorers in the division? I think there was a bit more to our game then than nicking a winner and being hard to beat.

It's worth noting that goals scored from a free kick are pretty rare. There have only been 13 Premier League goals scored directly from free kicks so far this season and four of those were by Southampton (no other team has scored more than one). Even Cristiano Ronaldo has scored just one goal from a...

Do we really need another centre mid? Surely Tarky's replacement and a right midfielder need to be our priorities this summer?

He's played predominantly on the right, particularly last season:

I’m amazed he gets away with wearing gloves. Since the arrival of SD, I don’t recall another player wearing gloves in a game.

I wonder what he would have said last season when, for the second time in three years, we finished above Everton - in no small part due to the relative competence of our goalkeepers.

Number of times a team with Pickford in goal has finished above a team with Pope in goal: 0

Before the start of today's game, the camera zoomed in on a gent wearing a BFC mask. I am sure it was not MG. Any one noticed/recognised him?

Was it this fella?

Interesting stat - if we win 2 of our next 3 games (which is not unreasonable) we will have our second highest points total after 16 games in the Premier League. All the more impressive when you consider we had our lowest ever total after 7 games.
