For me, Jack Harrison has been a big disappointment. If we're looking at potential recruits from Leeds, I'd prefer someone like Archie Gray. Let's look elsewhere to replace Harrison.

Striking isn’t it. 

Well, he didn’t officially change his prediction, but his comments on this forum led me to believe he did change his mind. Anyway, it is good to taunt!

Any time anything about this game pops up I have to watch it.
 

when I was a kid my first football boots that had a logo were Umbro, I remember playing my first game in them for Walcott boys club I thought I was the dogs bollocks🙂

To the four participants still in contention, I've sent your predictions to Matt since I won't be able to post them once the match has started (am traveling for most of the day). Should you wish to change your prediction ahead of kick-off, please message Matt rather than me. Thanks.
Psst Palfy: I did reassure Matt that you really did predict a 5-5 draw.

Personally, I think he offers something. It takes some players a while to acclimatize to the PL. Let's be patient and see how he does when the new season begins.

If I share the predictions with you, would you mind posting them here right after kick-off?

(Waiting for Palfy to offer to share them.  )

And Matt’s been smoking something. 

After all the disagreements in the Dyche thread, it's encouraging to read this. Thank you for your magnanimity. (BTW - was that final sentence saying the same thing in Hindi?)

So it's officially confirmed: It's Klopp to Slop. Or is that Klott to Slot?

For just two weeks. You can bet your bottom dollar there are other consortia/potential owners about to step in. I'm quite upbeat about the situation. Just imagine if the PL had approved, 777 were already new owners, and then these proceedings in Belgium and elsewhere took place. We may be frustrated by the delay, but it's definitely saved us from a worse situation.

Watched  him today and felt we dodged a bullet.  We already have Beto and would much rather see. Chermiti get more game time.

These are very impressive stats.

There was probably some behind-the-scenes deal - for example, regarding interest payments on the new stadium. If this is the case, I really hope the deal is documented so the league can't renege on us.

May I suggest trouble-free phrasing?

If they had sacked him, maybe we'd be grousing about being relegated or maybe we wouldn't: We don't know.
They didn't sack him, and we're definitely not grousing about being relegated: We do know.
But let's move on. Dyche will most likely be our manager when the new season starts. I suggested that his goal this past season was to finish higher up the table than last season. What goals would you give him for next season? The same? Maybe we can put our differences about our manager aside and focus on what we expect him to achieve and how he should be measured.

If you're given a project to lead, what matters is whether you deliver what's promised on time. What was promised on this occasion was a higher league position than last year. After hiring the project manager, though, he was told to manage with whatever resources were left over from a previous project, his budget was to be cut dramatically, and he'd have to spend a good deal of time working with government auditors investigating past financial shenanigans - even while ensuring everyone on the project is happy. After a fast start, work on the project got bogged down as the project manager adjusted to the new situation, but everyone pulled out the stops to deliver early - even after auditor fees and penalties ate into project margins.
