And Silva was a cat who had caught his prey and was walking off with a point.. but it escaped him... pride fright loss anger.

Five points in January with two games to play.

Three points in each of the final four months would be sufficient.

Buonanotte is going to make the difference, once he settles in, a class above Gnonto.

ElKapitan wrote: Sat Jan 17, 2026 6:30 pm Yeah I guess, good way of looking at it, though I would expect the level of player we have to have taken one or more of those opportunities. Think the average for staying up is to take one of 4 chances per game and think we created 6 so not far off.

Agree on the fight today was brilliant to see, but don't think you ever deserve anything in football, Newcastle is a good example where I felt they left everything on the field. Just wish we had that ruthless streak a bit more.... Struijks free header today etc (4 similar chances this season).... Again expectations I guess, is Struijk a van dyke?.... No.... Else as he said in his interview "he would have looked to join a bigger club in the summer if an offer came in"..... It didn't.

Struijk doesn't need to be dropped but he can be a bit of a liability when he has time to think. This has been an issue for ages, but then he does have a great passing range and is left footed :mshr: .
He needs to work on that. Makes such a difference if CBs chip in with some goals. It's a lack of composure.

A great acquisition to our squad, excellent in his first five starts, deserves his place in our first XI.

That for me is the big difference between us and the teams in the relegation places. Wolves have looked awful all season, Burnley have huffed and puffed but lack any real quality and West Ham have looked sh*te - and looked sh*te against a team playing sh*te today.

We have in the last couple of months looked a match for every team we have faced.

Doubt Spurs go down.

Proper manager killer club though.

Conte a winner all his career, done nothing at Spurs.

Jose the same

Nuno highly rated after overachieving at Wolves, struggled.

Now Frank.

Clubs a curse.
Wasn’t there one manager who won a European trophy with Spurs? I think he was Australian.🤔

Nice to see you both too. It got better when I got back to the Queens, my wife had arranged a mini-family get together- half a dozen cousins waiting there. Had a great evening.

The broadcast I watched the match on had Efan Ekoku on as co-commentator. Ex Journeyman footballer for those that didn't know. The bais was so one sided - Foolum this, Foolum that, what 3 points wold do for Foolumb blah, blah, blah. Unitil we scored and then he came out with we were the berret team in the second half and also we edged it in the first half.........

What an utter twonk!
