A Spurs loss on Sunday and we can pretty much say we're safe. Would take something extraordinary from there for it to go Pete Tong. Would probably take something extraordinary from here TBH

Might as well give Sam Byram some pom poms. Must be thinking Bogle is tiring we're going to need a right back to see out the game, this is my moment. And Farke turns to Gnonto :lol:

DDB220 wrote: Fri May 01, 2026 9:02 pm What changed in the game after we went three up, they bought a couple of pacey players and their intensity suddenly changed significantly. We had a lot of tired legs ain the middle, relaxed after we got the 3rd and once a team gains some momentum it is not easily arrested. They just went for broke and we started just hoofing the ball, composure started to go.
Yeah Burnley had nothing to lose and just went for it whilst we basically just wanted the final whistle.

Would have been more comfortable if Piroe played . . .he'd have seen the pass to Nmecha for a start 8-)

I hadn't realised Newcastle were doing so poorly?

Eddie Howe must be under pressure?

But didn't need to be any better as Burnley were shite.

Stach head and shoulders the best player on the pitch.

Surely that's it and we can start looking to next season?
Been safe since Manure for me .... It would have taken a collosal f**k up to go down after that game. And that only happens to teams where the dressing room has been lost or managers have been replaced.

My only criticism of Farke since the Man City game is he has left the push for a European place too late.

As unlikely as it is it’s mad that we could still finish top 10. Only 3 off Sunderland with better GD

Just got out of my meetings and saw the score.

I'm a happy guy.

Why does Jamie Redknapp who was born on the south coast talk like Ray Winstone?

Always wondered

DCL loves Farke, but his attempt to adopt his hairstyle needs refining.
