No. I’ve based it on the fact Chelsea have a better squad and since Tuchel’s arrived they look a much better organised team.
Just yanking ya chain. Having said that, they couldn’t score against Leeds like we did could they. Surely that makes us better than them? 8-)
Of course. Seriously if Lampard was still there I’d have said we were in with a shout. But Tuchel has abandoned Lampard’s strategy of playing English players ahead of better foreign ones and they’ve stopped conceding goals for fun.

Unfortunately Tuchel is still picking the better English players in his squad and they are looking a very hard side to beat.

I’ve not seen any of their games but their results alone show Tuchel has stopped them leaking goals for fun. So yes, as Terry says, I think they will prob finish above us but I still think we’re more than capable of taking a point from them

Yes, we are capable of winning, unfortunately we will be set up not to win.

Tbh I don't find it boring watching a team who try to pass the ball to each other rather than humping it upfield and hoping for the best.

Yes Mr Dyche, I'm talking about you.

Based on Sunday's evidence we'll finish 9th.

City
United
Chelsea
Leicester
.................
Yids
.................
Everton
Arse
Dippers
West Ham

Sir Moysie however, could be very brave and recall Jesse, possibly Fornals too, if his leg hasn't been torn off by the killer rabbit.

But as precaution, keep Noble in for the season, just in case Soucek or Rice decide to venture too far forward. Can't be too careful. And that Antonio. Touch of an epileptic at times. Giving the ball away like that ?

Best replace him with another centre back.

My prediction is 9th 64 points

Everton 10th

Truth be known I’d have been more than happy with that before the season started as it’s a massive improvement.

An improvement that Sir Moysie must be given the lion’s share of the credit for.

However , it could be considerably better .

I think Sir Moysie’s time at Everton showed him to be the right man for the job at the time , establishing them as an upper mid table club consistently,
His cowardice against the big clubs stopping them from really kicking on .

Bit early to say it’s going to happen here but it’s certainly held us back this season imo
Bring back Jonathon !

Whiskyman wrote: Mon Mar 15, 2021 3:57 pm In the interests of scientific research I have dusted off Nigel, my predicting algorithm, which had such staggering success in forecasting our eventual survival last season. The predictions are quite encouraging. I have listed them below. I have made a small adjustment to ignore the Home or Away factor which we all know doesn't seem to make a blind bit of difference this season.


Arsenal (H)---0 points
Wolves (A)---1point
Leicester (H)---3 points
Newcastle (A)---3 points
Chelsea (H)---0 points
Burnley (A)---1 point
Everton (H)---1 point
Brighton (A)---3 points
WBA (A)---3 points
Southampton (H)---3 points.

So 18 points from that lot which will leave us with 66 at season's end. Over the past 10 seasons 6th place has been achieved with points totals ranging from 69 (twice) down to as low as 58. The average over those 10 years is 63.6.

All of which of course proves absolutely fuck all but I'd be reasonably happy with 5 wins from the remaining 10 games which ought to be achievable. So fingers crossed.

:o you mean to say you haven't got a pet octopuss? :)
