I missed this at the weekend, so a little bounce.
3 points ahead of target. 1 point forecast for Swansea according to the model and three from Stoke. So don't want to be eating into the buffer.
Just watched that dire game between Burnley and Newcastle (with match sticks keeping my eyelids open) and cannot believe that Burnley are now in 7th place in the Prem.
It really makes me think that there are just a handful of sides that we would struggle to beat on our day. A little more guile...
Thanks for that positive contribution. I guess it takes persistent and consistent effort to build a reputation such as yours. Thanks.
My thinking was less about the players ages specifically and more a wider thought about the agedness of the squad. We were well know last season for having a...
People tend to focus on Bruno being 63 and Glenda being 34 (I think). But I read today that Gross it's only 26. I believe Dunk and Duffy are 25.
How old are the squad? Perhaps younger than some think?
Only questions are does CH revert to his home line up, replacing Bong and Jose with Suttner and March; and does Hemed come back in?
Bong played well, but Suttner is more offensive. Solly has a better all round game at the moment than Jose. So I'd go Suttner/March with Jose conning on if we need...
Man Utd 1 Tottenham 0 (doesn't affect us really)
Arsenal 2 Swansea 1 (handy - Swansea stay on 8 and drop to 17th)
Crystal Palace 2 West Ham 2 (hate seeing Palarse pick up points but both dropped 2 today - so suits us)
Liverpool 3 Huddersfield 0 (wind gone out of their sails? Lost to West...
Across the Summer I did fear, after the almost perpetual highs of last season and the slightly lame finish, that this season might be a bit of a slog as we struggle to keep our heads above water and that this season would not be much fun.
Clearly this was going to be a seminal season come what...
There is barely a thread on nsc that you don't feel the need to comment on. I very much suspect you thrive on the attention. Do you think occasionally you could show some self restraint and not clutter a thread with your self indulgent w@nkfestery.
I think I saw CH saying that he's one of the players who has benefited from playing in the Prem because his game suits it more. Hard to argue with that.
He's not one of the best ever but he's carved into the story for a few obvious reasons.
