We’ve got 4 points from the last 8 games. Picking up points at that rate would see us finishing on 33 points. Could well be a relegation figure.
43 for the overall season would see us safe for sure.
Nah . 34-35 points will be enough . No way Leicester Ipswich or Southampton are getting that .

so 3 wins from 17 even how bad we are this season can’t see us not getting there

I think it's overblown how impressive a job he did at Chelsea if i'm brutally honest considering the level of spend there and finishing, what 6th?

It's certainly not made me feel any tinge of regret we didn't pursue him instead of Ange put it that way.
If you look at his last few months at Chelsea I think you’ll find that his record was really good. It was always gonna take some time to mold that big squad of talented youth into a team but once he did they were doing very well.

Probably. Using the same logic I used for us with the previous 8 game form I did the same for Ipswich (who took 7 points in that period) and they come out at 32 points. We’re safe by one point 😂

It’s gone totally under the radar because it was just an off hand comment on a podcast but at the start of the season Jack Pitt-Brooke said that one of our priorities is sustainable success. That adds up with the cutting of the wage bill and the focus on youth.

it’s only a bad decision if you care about winning. Something Levy and his cronies blatantly don’t.

I agree. No club interested in winning acts like we do in the transfer window each window.

We sold one of our greatest players, received a sizeable fee and have spunked it on average players and high potential kids. Not the actions of a club or board that is interested in winning.

It's not fair on the kids they have bought and it's definitely not fair on the thousands of us who turn up every week and pay a lot of money to do so.

Either make and effort to win or charge accordingly. Ideally they would eff off but I don't see it any time soon

Yeah fuck it, a relegation scrap might be a real buzz.

Ange in.
If we survived the drop by 1 point on the last day of the season I reckon it would feel better than getting 4th. It might even be up there with winning a league cup.

If we think of that as a worst case scenario, it's very unlikely that all of wolves, ipswich, and everton will get 34 points or more. They would all have to start picking up points at a much higher rate. Even still, I don't see any reason we should assume the rest of the season would play out that way for us. We'd have to be significantly worse than Leicester have been so far for the entire rest of the season to end up on 33 points.

We should absolutely not be looking to change our style of play. We've done that since Pochettino left and it's left us in football purgatory for years now.

We should be looking to bring in an attack-minded coach, who can approach his style of play in a more conscious, pragmatic way. Liverpool are the obvious example of a good appointment, and there was probably a good reason why we were eyeing Slot as a number-one choice the summer before last. We've spent almost two years now drilling certain ways of playing, pressing into these players; throwing that all away would be the worst thing we could do.

Ange isn't the 'project', but the good work he's done (whether you believe it exists, or that it's limited) should be retained in the next coach.
this sums up how i feel perfectly :)
