Osasuna are in 11th place in La Liga on 31 points.

Can't say I know anything about them, but wondered if they are any better than us?

Spijed

OK, let's follow through this suggestion. So let's give say 50 points for a long distance away game eg Bournemouth. All other games 10 points. Someone who goes to 4 local/Midlands games gets 40 points. Someone who lives down South/London only goes to the Bournemouth game and gets 50 points. Would t...

I don't know how many have realised but a win tomorrow will temporarily put us in 8th place as Wolves, Arsenal & Everton all play on Sunday.

Spijed

That's pretty standard. I don't think there are many like Burnley where going to a match ten years ago counts the same as going to a match last week. Surely the fairest way to do it is give more points to those who go to places such as Bournemouth away rather than Man U, Man City etc. That how Spur...

There must be another club that has an away ticket policy to suit people who cherry pick games and only want to go to high demand games if we have won the previous few games. It will be a pure coincidence though when they miss out on a ticket due to not having enough points they claim it is time to...

Lawro's predicting a 2-1 win for the Clarets,i agree with him,it won't be easy though.

Whereas Charlie Nicholas says 1-1

I do have realism but apart from the big boys in this league on our day can beat all the rest - not that good a league and certainly not the best in europe If the league isn't that strong why don't the three promoted clubs survive with ease each time they get promoted and simply replace three clubs...

Spijed

Thanks. It's hard to have a balanced discussion on here without people taking personal snipes at anyone who offers any criticism to the club. If you have an opinion and make any points you are quickly shot down. I'll have to re read the forum rules I think because clearly I'm missing something abou...

Secondly, Boris seems to have ideas, this is a refreshing change.

How many times does it need repeating?

Boris had ideas for London and EVERY SINGLE ONE has turned out to be a disaster!

Our recruitment has been laughing stock of other clubs.

What utter rubbish.

We are looked on with envy by the majority of clubs up and down the country with what we've spent and our achievements to date.

You simply can't have poor recruitment and get into Europe, for example.

You can look at clubs like Leicester in the past few seasons to see the kind of excellent recruitment that would help us move forward, or more recently Sheffield United.

You mean Leicester wasting £30 million on players like Slimani?

I think it's Corbyn who would be more at home in the Soviet Union with Pravda.

Why? Considering it's Boris Johnson who is doing all he can to suppress the report on Russian interference in the election.

It's clearly obvious the government have lots to hide in that respect.

Morning gents, Very kind of you to check in. I’m touched. Recovery is progressing. I’m told it’s moving at a remarkable rate but it still feels very slow to me.

All of a sudden the six point gap between them and us doesn't look too bad, especially as we play them at home after Newcastle.

Much of this stuff he wrote as a comment to a blog post by Cummings. He was young, and could easily have had a few sherries at the time.

If those defenders just had to play like we do and have narrow full backs and a wall of four deep midfielders sitting in front of them they would be able to defend in their sleep. It would be so easy for them they'd probably retire out of boredom and take up gardening or something to test themselve...

That's poor from Palace, and theyve a few difficult games in the run in, but I think with the players they have, allied to Roy's experience will see em keep out of trouble.

We don’t want to show up expecting a win like we appeared to do against Villa.

We are now in the zone, in the zone!

Spijed

Against Spurs' defence our corners are going to cause them massive problems.

Spijed

If Villa lose away at Southampton next week that'll be another relegation spot confirmed.

They won't recover!

Spijed

We should have a field day against Spurs defence!

Spijed

I'd guess mid 40s. Once we get safe (at 40+) we've have a tendency to tail off and lose our edge a bit as the season end approaches. Should be enough for topish of the bottom half though. Would be great to get 50 and finish above one or two of the "big" teams though; especially (as mentioned) Arsen...

Bournemouth, BHA and Saints to stop up please. Just look how many pts we get against them.

Let's no forget West Ham. They quite happily give us three points when we are at our lowest ebb.

Spijed

With regards to 5th & 8th getting the CL & Europa league places I'm not so sure. Wasn't it the case two seasons ago that we were debating at which point we'd join the Europa league as a team in Europe had been kicked out? I think from memory they look at coefficients and seedings of all the teams in...

Haven't got any sympathy for City. They clearly thought they were being clever and could get round the rules by having Etihad as their shirt sponsor and giving them naming rights on the stadium.

Didn't Leicester do something similar?
