Post by: robleflaneur on April 21, 2024, 09:14:26 PM: Wonderful,adds to my belief and optimism.My only disagreement is that Dougie was badly missed.It was a set-up that said we'll outscore you.We were way too open and an extra midfielder like Luiz would have addressed that and we would still have had enough firepower to bury Bournemouth.

Post by: Lastfootstamper on April 21, 2024, 09:15:14 PM: The club Facebook page also says 3 wins in 8 days. I suppose we did win a tie.

..three wins in eight days ?

The match was essentially a draw but we progressed in the most winningest way possible.

No doubt Bingo or Cheaty Pep will get it.

Another great read Dave

Thanks Daz.

Post by: Hookeysmith on April 22, 2024, 02:58:51 PM: Cant see 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' winning the league as i genuinely think we will beat them and Pep well enough has been said about the 115 charges against his lot.

It was mentioned a couple of times early in the season when rent a quote crocodile Dundee was flavour of the month.

In the face of adversity with injuries etc what our guy has done is nothing short of a miracle - when did we join the top 4 race? only falling out once in that time?

MOTD candidates 'Pep' and 'Jurgen Klopp'

4th and a Trophy should be a shoo in for MOTY. Not even like last year where there were a few worthy mentions O'Neil, Frank, De Zerbi. Moyes for the trophy even Howe. None from the pack have over achieved. Edwards if he keeps them up possibly.

Cnuts the lot of them on MOTD (apart from Shearer)

I like Dion on MOTD, not as a co commemtator, and also Ian Wright, who has given us a lot praise this season.
