Fucking Starmer That said, maybe we need to see Labour fail utterly to make Brexit work as well before we can write it off fully. Although my gut tells me that the Tories will claim they want another tilt at it as well, after Labour have 'ruined' it.

I think we'll be fine - our form has carried on both pre and post summer, and the reality I think is that if we're going to cement ourselves at the top end we need to just be a good team, rather than a team on a good run. I also think we've dropped off a bit in the last few games with the defence and even Bruno started to make misplays here and there. Still good enough to do what we need to, but perhaps tired? The break could well have come at a good time for us. It also carries us on into January which gives us the transfer window to make adjustments as we need to. Only downside to that is that Maddison's value will skyrocket if he has a good world cup and we may lose him to one of the few bigger teams still in the mix. I couldn't care less about the tournament itself although now that we have some players going I will probably follow the games out of my emotional investment in them more than anything else.

The truth is getting louder, the media more and more prepared to risk offending the toddlers.

The imagery of this is fucking spot on

Mind you, the incessant bitterness in that thread a joy to read Some of them desperately trying to convince themselves this is the same as that time we finished 5th under Pardew. Even Chelsea fans had more grace and class about today than this bunch of weapons.

When is that penny going to drop, I wonder?

Fuck off Chelsea. Well played by us even if we weren't at our best. The desperation now setting in amongst the established order as they can see this isn't just a purple patch. And btw, all the Chelsea fans chiming into the BBC about how negative Potter is - if they'd come up here playing free flowing stuff they'd have had their arses handed to them to the tune of 4 or 5. We aren't what we used to be, and neither are they. In future, if they come up here and get a single fucking point they've done well. This is the new order of things - bend the fuck over, Chelsea.

Not ahead of Wilson, mind

Any news on Wilson yet?

Schadenmackem?

If Chelsea turn up and treat us like "It's only Noocarrsul" then we'll win 3-0 IMO. That said, we played Potter already this season so I think it's really unlikely that they do take that approach. Cagey game, a goal either way.

And the Tories let it happen.

How are we still in an era where there's no live footage of certain matches ffs

Yeah and the concept of 'work' is something he might be struggling with too.

What?? He's far more deserving of a call up than fucking Fred. Gutted for him.

Just watching the highlights - is it just me or is their keeper really quite shit? I feel like he should have been able to get a lot closer to a couple of those efforts, or was positioned wrong to start with. 4 goals from 4 shots on target for us.

I still, even now, can't quite believe we're just casually turning up and beating teams 4-1 away from home. Even if we weren't our best, that's still fucking impressive.

I can't, I wish I could Another reason to be fucking pissed about everything today.

I still don't even know what you stand for, that's my point. You've barely committed to anything. And I mean for instance, you said you strongly disagree with my view on what happens after people go to prison... I didn't express one. What is it that you think my view is? And more than that, what is your alternative view and why? That's what I mean about this conversation mate, it's not been a debate of views from my side, it's been me putting views forward and getting smoke and mirrors back.

He's suspended isn't he?

Would be nice to keep a clean sheet here to keep that side of things going. Based on how we've been lately, no reason we can't get a couple. Southampton traditionally have felt like a bit of a difficult ground for us though, maybe because they're so damn far away, I don't know. No animosity to them as a club though, just hope we get another 3 points. 0-2 or 1-2

I can't be bothered mate, you win, you can be the smart and kind one.

I'm ok really I have covid at the moment and being bed ridden has given me some pent up energy clearly.

Right I forgot the last bit, pain on my conscience etc - I mean you've just decided there that my view comes down to 'let people out of prison early'. I didn't say anything on that whatsoever. At this point you have no idea what my views on that are, you've just assumed them into the same virtue signalling caricature.
