Yeah, for sure. But they're not all going to be at the top of their game every season. Some of them will be in transition - rebuilding their tem, new manager etc- others just having a poor season or terrible luck with injuries. They're the ones that can be picked off.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that teams would deliberately lose. What I meant was the level of motivation would be different between teams like Brighton/Fulham/Brentford etc going for 7th place and the Europa league and teams like Liverpool or Chelsea. While Liverpool/Chelsea would still try to...

I'm not as despondent about Newcastle making a top 7 and denying the rest of us a chance in Europe as some on here. Most of the big boys don't like playiing in the Europa league so none of them will have the faintest interest in playing in the conference league. It'll only take one of them to...

I like his interviews. He's such a big unit and talks with such classic down to earth Irish common sense/understatement that you can easily mistake him for a 28 year old prop forward but then he breaks into a boyish grin and reminds you that actually if he wasn't ace at football he'd probably...

I'm a big fan of Trossard. When he plays well we are a very dangerous side. Until the arrival of Mitoma he was the only genuine game changer we've had in the premier league. I also think there's a decent chance he'll sign a new contract in the summer.

It went to ten places in 2010?! My memory is becoming defunct, I would have sworn it was earlier - mid or late 90's at the latest. I remember when it was only the top 6 getting points but associated that with the Prost, Senna, Mansell, Piquet era. Maybe because that's when I started watching...

If there were 26 cars would they change the points system so the midfield would still be competitive? When did it change form 6 cars getting points to ten?

Do you think that, thanks to all the love we've given Ally Mac and hence the media coverage and love we're getting back form Argentina, there is a small kid somewhere in Argentina whose dream is now to play for the Albion? How nuts would that be?

Maybe I'm being naive but I really don't think we'll sell anyone of any value in January, particularly not from central midfield where with the sale of Bissouma, Mwepu's retirement and Moder's injury we're now fairly light. I expect there'll be rumours and reports daily that players a, b and c...

Gremlins Ring(original, obviously)

Maybe he did? Maybe the club said no take the two weeks? Who knows? One thing that will be entirely predictable is as soon as he has a below par game there'll be people(I'm not suggesting you'll be one of them btw) on his back slating him.

Yes, I'd forgotten about that. That certainly didn't/doesn't help.

He didn't have a great game, true, but I don't understand the he cost us comments. Of the four goals only the fourth was poor. Nothing he could do about the first two, the third was a decent save where the rebound could have gone anywhere. Unfortunately it fell to an Arsenal player that Dunk...

Beat our record points total Beat our highest league position Make a cup final Win a cup Qualify for Europe Not sell any key players. I admit that some of these are more fanciful than others but none are out of the realms of possibility. Of those options I'd say the first one or two are most...

Thoroughly entertaining if frustrating game. Three poor/unlucky goals to concede. A stirring fightback, edge of the seat chances and a grandstand finish denied by a shit(if technically correct) VAR decision. I thought Gilmour looked ok on the ball but I'd hope that if they needed any...

Can lightening strike twice? The O.P is doing his best to make it happen.

Entertaining game but such frustrating goals to concede.

Adam's son, Martin's great nephew.

I agree with this. The goal agaisnt Liverpool was 100% the defenders fault but Ward isn't good enough. The league is very tight outside of the big 6, small margins can win or lose you games. Schmeichel was an excellent keeper who could win points for the team by himself. Ward can't, or at...

That'S an incredibly young bench(Grandpa's Steele and Veltman excepted). It'd be nice if Hinshelwood got on at some point.
