I am sure four or five defeats would put us in the mire. Four or five wins would put us well in the mix for a top 8 finish.

The result will likely be something in between, much as it has been all season.

Not without changes it won't.

I don't understand that. We have played everybody and we're 11th.

I agree that bringing in more quality is going to help, that is obvious, but I don't understand the perception that we're almost adrift... in 11th place.

Forget the 11th place. We have been playing crap. You wouldn't put your money on a horse in bad form. Even the Club know we have been poor so you won't upset anyone by saying so.

If we're so crap, what does it say about the sides below us? They're even poorer than us.

No - we're in a crapness class all of our own but have been really lucky. The teams below us have all just been unlucky. Every week for half a season. All nine of them.

This is the Ryan Bertand topic still isn't it?

Slightly annoying to be buffing another gem for one of the 'big boys', but then again in January loan signings are the way to go. Good player too. Credit to Lambert and/or Faulkner.

You could have put Rick, it would have been better.

If we were buffing Lukaku would it be any different? Or with Liverpool with Moses? It's the system and we should use it to our advantage

A Chelsea season-ticket-holding colleague has just described him as "good, but not very adventurous" to me. "Likes to pass sideways" apparently. My response was that if he likes to pass to a player in the same shirt he'll do, regardless.
Coffee spilling moment, haha.

Not reading the whole thread,  so not sure if it's being answered but how many loans signings can you have?

4 with a maximum of 2 from the premier league, I'm pretty sure that's right unless they changed it in the summer.

Or United with Zaha? Cue jokes about United no longer one of the big boys.
