41 points with 3 games it's not unreasonable to expect to pick up more points in.

We clear 45 points and it's been quite a successful season by any realistic metric

Thinking it should be less than 2 seems highly unlikely

Not losing to Luton is our A1, absolute top priority for the rest of the season.

As long as the 4 come against Forest and Luton I think it could be.

Against Sheff U and Brentford and I wouldn't bet my mortgage on staying up with another 4.

Yeah, that looks pretty grim for them.

Not beyond the world of possibility for them to get 6 points though. Beat forest at home and a fluke in one of the others

No, we're thinking we will sell a minority stake in it.

Hopefully to an events and media organisation as opposed to a hedge fund.

To be fair, the OP of this latest round of discussion mentioned Moyes being DoF if he wants to step away from coaching.

Can see more points deductions being bandied about for the next couple of seasons till the new rules come in

Wages + net amortised transfer fees = 80% of turnover

Unless you're City, then you can just do what you want anyway.

We go down if we go into every game between now and Arsenal with the plan of "not losing"

Brentford v Sheff U
Burnley v Brighton
Man C v Luton
N Forest v Wolves
Liverpool v C Palace
Chelsea v Everton

Would bite your hand off for 5 draws and a City win there.
Maybe even a sneaky little Sheff U win

Yeah exactly, no harm in doing it when it's called for, just think he needs to iron out when it's required and how to avoid it when not. Not a criticism though as he's great already, more highlighting what he needs to do to kick on to that next level. Yeah, he's very much a work-in-progress. If he ...

Freakonomics that though isn't it?

Is he only starting as a 6 for the games the manager is deploying specific instructions? If he started as a 6 more often against more varied opposition, would that be a more reflective stat of the teams general results?

We've brought in a better version of Oumar Niasse. Better in relation to him. Not in relation to anything else. But, Niasse had little purple patches and grabbed the odd goal. Mainly because defenders are drilled to death on what an attacking footballer is going to do 90% of the time. These guys don...
