Christmas Tree

Angina

Showaddywaddy Got a lovely silk type scarf to impress the chicks.

Does anyone know what’s causing this? I’ve tried Googling and a few papers mention it but not what’s causing it. Its air pollution btw

NB: I’m not mentioning this as any recommendation, just a passing comment, but apparently the Keto diet was / is used to treat children with epilepsy.

Yeah, but what’s he done with Diego?

Anyone looked into vaccination for kids? My 11 year old has been offered one. He has already had covid at Christmas, (runny nose). As it seems to dwindle off after a few months and the weathers better and he’s already had Covid, is there much point?

His mate was picking him up from Shields market. Not a chance I would take anyone much further than the Airport. Absolutely hate small talk.

22/1 at Paddy Power

I had a P & O union rep in the cab on his way to Hull the day after this happened. He told me that they had to at least pay minimum UK wage as they were operating in UK waters. Not sure how they can get away with that.

Just had a look but can’t see a section to see their predictions for previous games. Can you link it?

Not at all. Brentford are 1 point behind & Leeds 2 so both are very much already “around us”. Everton “if” they win their 2 games in hand are on the same points as us. So really we are only looking at whether Burnley, who also have 2 games in hand, can put a bit of a run together. They have Everton, Southampton, Villa and us at home and Norwich and Watford away. Plenty of points for them to go at if they can up their form a bit. I just don’t see where the over confidence from everybody comes from. Did I mention I’m bemused.

Ive no idea. I’m not saying we are definitely going down, I’m just saying I think it will get a lot closer by the end of April. It has a lot to do with how the teams below us, with games in hand and easier run ins do. The only easier points I see as up for grabs is Norwich and Burnley away. The way everyone is going on here I have no cause for alarm and I simply have a defective sausage. Hope you are all right. Obviously!

I think we’ve played well but we’ve also played quite a few teams that have been out of form or struggling for various reasons. The proof will indeed be in the pudding and I absolutely hope I’m 100% wrong, but April looks a very tough month imo.

I’m not sure you can knock up a model that would have predicted the winning run we’ve just completed given our prior form.

I’m bemused by all this TBH as the point I’m constantly making is a couple of wins simply puts Burnley on 27 points which leaves them only 4 points off us. That then leaves 4 or 5 clubs in danger of that 3rd spot. Obviously I hope I’m wrong but I just don’t see anything that leads to the over confidence on display. Anyway, I’ll give a rest.

Stats are wonderful but they simply don’t account for teams going on a run (as we have just done) or the quality of teams left to play. Burnley have the most games available to play, the most easier teams to play and a reputation for getting out of trouble. Burnley have Everton, Norwich, West Ham, Southampton & Watford amongst their fixtures in April. Our April is far tougher. Im pretty certain 3rd spot won’t be a forgone conclusion come 1st May.

Ffs man we’ve only won 4 more games than them. If they do put a run together it only takes a couple of wins to make that mini league trying to avoid 3rd. They have 2 games in hand and have some poor teams to play. It could get a lot tighter before it’s settled.

Hopefully we’ll be fine, but our “easiest” 2 games left are Norwich and Burnley away. And as we’ve seen tonight, there’s no guarantee we will win away against poorer teams.

I think Norwich and Watford are gone, but Burnley with their games in hand and the opposition they are playing are capable of putting a run together. That could very easily turn into a very tight group for the 3rd spot. Such a wasted opportunity tonight.

Come on in, the waters warm.

Absolutely missed Shelvey tonight. He seems to steady things in the middle where as in the first half we had the defenders hitting long balls. Cant understand why Howe didn’t start Murphy as he’s been doing well. Hopefully after the break we can get back to the starting 11 that’s been pulling up sticks. Some lovely play from Bruno as well who will be awesome next season especially if we can add some quality in front of him. What a fucking game to lose

Get Miggi off. Can’t understand why he’s played him instead of Murphy. Just need a bit more composure in the final third.

Honestly, I know what you mean but I’m just a blubbering wreck. I appreciate I’m letting the side down.
