Good grief. YES.

Our next 7 games - 5 are at home. And YES. that is unusual.

Man Utd , Crawley, Nottm Forest, Ipswich and Spurs.

It is missing the Ipswich game. I have no idea why I am following this so closely.

Edit: the xitter tiling of the images you can see has cropped images 2 and 3 so the Ipswich game is hidden. So it makes Naylor look a fool if you don't click through his whole tweet.
Unlike the Pulitzer candidate that is "we're playing five of the seven next games at home".

Yeah, it is not a particularly fascinating observation. It is almost as if xitter is used by people to say tedious things sometimes.

I say hang them all and have done.

The club is not the only source of fact.
If Naylor has any sources outside the club, he either doesn't trust them, or is frightened of upsetting his club sources by making stuff public that the club wants kept quiet.
If the club wants stuff kept quiet till its done, then I am glad he isn't telling it, but it also makes him largely irrelevant as a source of new information.

Strange that today's totally football podcast, an athletic affiliated show, opted to contact Brian Owen to report on our win at Everton, rather than the athletic's own Brighton beat "journalist" Andy Naylor.

Owen did a fine job, and we aren't subjected to Naylor's nasal nonsense.

Andy Naylor's career as an Albion correspondent is now older than Fabian Hurzeler !! All credit to him for continuing to report and write about the Albion now for a company owned by the New York Times. Who'd have thought it.
And NSC posters pointing out where he's been going wrong or man splaining how is job actually works is probably up there too - almost Milner like in its longevity. .

Its a fine old NSC tradition !
For the sake of tradition, I will just add that he is crap, doesn't write well, his opinion pieces usually include a snide dig at supporters, and he performs his job at the most basic level.

One is a cup game so discount that and it's 3 away, 4 home and we've just played an away game so it's 4/4 for the first 8 PL games. Absolutely astonishing set of circumstances, surely never seen before. Amazing insight from the man. We're blessed.

I’m surprised he didn’t tweet about this last season when we played 5 games out of 7 away from home between 29th October and 3rd December.

Breaking News - Cup games cause anomalies in a fixture list.

A lot depends on how you look at it though. Given that our first game was away you would mostly expect the next to be at home which it is. So if you take that out it becomes 4 out of 6. Now one of those is the cup game where unusually we have been drawn at home but take that out and it becomes 3 out of 5.
Therefore it is really only the cup draw which has brought about this circumstance otherwise the league games are entirely unremarkable in format.
Edit:- Dazzer beat me to it, that will teach me to read all available posts before replying !

Hold the nerve. I think this will all be fine. The player clearly wants the move and we clearly want him to join. I can't see the whole thing collapsing over potentially a few million quid.
Unless they do something that upsets Tony (like changing the terms after having reached an agreement)

I know . The very idea that the ins and out of football stats might have an audience with football fans if you're a journalist. Read the room ! ha ha.

I think it is abundantly clear how important this signing would be. I don't think there's any evidence that they've changed the terms after an agreement has been reached. Given we've seemingly done all of the contract details with the player, I'd imagine it is a deal that isn't too far away. There's seemingly no other concrete interest in the player, so Fenerbache would be daft to do anything that would land them with an unhappy player who'd already packed his bags to go. It will be fine, I'm sure.

i still have the worry they are stalling this. Trying to get near the end of the window to either get more interest.

Hope i am wrong

No one cares any more. The important thing is how much we should hate Naylor.

Obviously there is supposedly interest from Man U. Other than that, who else would possibly try to take him (if anyone)?

Hoping we can get this done before we play Man U this weekend.
