wolves made 9 changes to their team so they were weaker
our midfield would have dominated
and we would have had pickford in goal who can actually do his job rather than a bang average reserve goalie that we used
happy days ahead

I've just yesterday watched a game between two teams, that coincidentally also played each other 3 weeks ago, at the same venue with largely similar personnel, and one team won by 38 pts in their first meeting, yet yesterday lost by 47 points. That was in a sport where the best team clearly wins due to how it's scored.

In a sport where two thirds of all games are decided (or not even decided) by a single kick (or head etc), the lack of any certainty is why the sport is so interesting. But so highly unpredictable.

The Premier League average shows teams sharing only 2.7 goals per game. Very few clear cut results on average.

'Should have' or 'Would have' just don't exist.

Man Utd should have beaten Brentford.
Liverpool should have beaten Palace.
Forest should have beaten Sunderland.
Chelsea should have beaten Brighton.
Spurs should have beaten Wolves.


Ours still 'should have' won with far fewer changes than Wolves made, as we'd beaten them recently, but didnt.

As many managers say, 'It's football'

Friday and Monday games should be outlawed.

Jesus jumped up fucking christ.

Just checked the table.

LEEDS are above us?

Put these to bed Everton.

Had to sell my ticket for this as it’s a Monday night and getting there after school would have been very difficult (not impossible). Just had a message saying we’ve had a major systems failure in school over the weekend and there is a strong possibility we won’t open

You too hey. "System failure" is it?

Comms gone out asking all the kids to sign out of satchel one/edulink/teams/outlook/whatever?

Mad the way schools are terrified of "the systems we use have been thoroughly hacked and Microsoft is shitting the bed, we don't know what to do so sign out of everything"

Come on lads, win this and we go 8th in the league with another home match to come (albeit against a good Crystal Palace). Let's get the vibes back up.

Is it a wider issue with Microsoft?

Yeah, my kids up her - nieces in London.

In London, the one sin nursery have been told the systems have been actively hacked and the personal data and photos have been taken.

That's not to say that's what's happened at every school - but much like Heathrow and JLR, the NCSC are grafting for their money at the moment

Does make me slightly nervous how well Sunderland and even Leeds have started.

The idea we'll be miles away from the drop...will we definitely be above United, Brentford, Newcastle, Villa and Forest? Probably not in some cases, definitely not in others.

Hm. Let's just keep getting points on the board. We know Everton never miss an opportunity to let you down but we can hope.

Draw gets us 9th, win gets us 8th.

I think we have had a decent first few games in a lot of respects, but I think you see the start that the promoted teams have made and just the other teams currently in the league and it's pretty clear already it's going to be a much more competitive league this year compared many of the recent ones.

Games like these will probably go some way to informing us if we're going to be aiming to be mingling with the likes of Brighton or the likes of West Ham (who I'd expect to get better under Nuno) for the rest of the season.
