I couldn’t give a fuck if the big oaf is fast, he’s fucking shite at football. Wilson would have wrapped him in knots and rolled him all over

Today was a terrible result. There’s no other way of dressing it up. Our next two games are Man U and away to Everton. We haven’t beaten a side who were in the top 8 when we played them all season.
It really was and the performance was worse. That does not look like a team that can win 6 or 7 of its last 8 and now we'll have even more division and toxicity after his latest comments.
We are 5th. So terrible but not terriblist.
A game after the international break and from now on we are a game a week
Jose lulling them into a false sense of security , he has been playing the long game . Imagine there surprise when he proves being a useless waste of space for 4 years was all an act.
Will be eighth next weekend
We could be 7th in just under 5 hours time.
I know it has likely been addressed in this thread, if not others, but holy crap is Liverpool's run in super easy.
They could easily win every game and only have one "tough" game and it isn't even that tough, Man U. I know they have struggled against bad teams this year so they could lose any game, but it is tough to see us matching them over the last 8 games.
I guess we hope they go on a run to the CL final and lose that, hoping they drop focus on the PL because of that.

Yep. Having watched them play on Saturday and us on Sunday i think its safe to say we're not finishing above them, probably not Chelsea and now West Ham are 3 pts above us. Everton can go above us with a win as well and have us at home. Think we're most likely finish 6th, 7th or possibly even 8th at this stage.
Problem for the Dippers this season though is it’s all the sides down at the bottom they’re dropping points to. They’ve lost at home to 3 of the bottom 6 - Fulham, Brighton and Burnley, drawn at home to second bottom West Brom and also drew away at Brighton and Fulham. That’s 15 dropped points from 6 games agsinst bottom 6.
Any of those positions should see jose sacked considering we only finished 6th last season regardless of we started. We had plenty of opportunities to get into top 4 but blew them sane as this season where we were actually top albeit after only 10 games. No progress just regression and playing style shite as league two team and a toxic manager.
Sure but I have a hard time believing that those aren't just shit results rather than a structural part of their game that makes it so they can't beat them.
I also think that they look a lot better with Jota in there against teams that park the bus so with him back I think they work better than relying on Firmino who has been shit this year.
Hopefully it repeats itself, but looking at the schedule I find it hard to see how we get more points than they do, even with their poor record against lower sides this year.
I would prefer West Ham although it’s a bit like saying I would sooner have piles than a stomach ulcer
It’s not a particularly appetising thought but I’d probably go for Spammers. You’d never hear the end of it I know (a bit like the Boys of 86 finishing 3rd) but it would be a one season aberration and they’d probably go and get relegated next season.
Chavs miss out on Top 4, they might just go and fire Tuchel.

WH
But I don't live in England and don't know a single WH fan so there is no banter for me to deal with, I could understand that it may be different for fans in London.
I am also not worried that it would lead to any sort of long term success for them. Their team is shit and I don't see them using the money wisely to build the team into a long lasting successful side.
This year has been one in which everything has gone right, my guess is with CL football next year they will be back to being a midtable team where they belong.
Plus watching the gloating from their moronic owners getting thrown back in their face when they go back to sucking for the next 80 years will be enjoyable as well.
