Frank has got to show his tough side and drop Keane and Coleman, sorry Seamus.

He has to do whatever it takes to make this game 3-1 or 3-2. This is a trainwreck, we need some fight to take into Wolves. 

Games in hand only count if you can actually get points from them. We cannot. We're averaging fewer than 1 point per game. So if we keep that average we're one point ahead of Leeds and 2 behind brentford. This is a dog fight and we have a squad of Dreamcloud mattresses. 

Get out. 

Winner today visits Palace in the quarterfinal. Boro host Chelsea, Southampton host City and Forest/Huddersfield host the shite. 

Spurs 1 - 1 Everton

El Ghazi and Dele are cup tied.

Fook. That sucks, they could both really use a game.

No way I'm risking Doucoure after that shift against City coming off injury. I could see Allan/Richarlison/Gray for 45 mins but also not risking it. Would prefer not to play Holgate in midfield but I think Gomes is out? If the team above can't beat a team in the National League that may be the most ridiculous result of our season, and there have been plenty.

Seriously? What was the problem 

If he wasn’t wearing 36 you would never have known he was on the pitch. He’s been a ghost 95% of the time he’s played. 

Turns out he didn’t get Jose’d, he just lost his way entirely. He’s abysmal. How on earth do we make sure he never plays that 20th game? 

Doucs and Iwobi right now. Protect our best midfielder and get our worst player off. 

FFS Frank make a fucking sub

Everton 1 - 1 City

When the league says f*** you, you take it on the chin and pony up the cancellation fees after days of contemplation. Going to give it a go in April, fingers and toes crossed. 

Checking with the club on a refund but wanted to offer them up here in the meantime. Upper Gwladys Row R 167-168 together and also Upper Gwladys Row A 161. 45 pounds for each and i'll mail them for free. You don't need to take all 3 I can offer them up individually as well. 

Good thread @Cornish Steve. Will be fun (assuming we pick up some points) to follow along in the coming weeks/months. I agree with Hoof every away game has to be considered 0 points for the sake of this exercise. Therefore we need to find 4 more points from our home games Leicester, Wolves, Chelsea, City, Utd. Yikes. Whether it will take the full 40 to survive who knows but the team better play like it will. 

F***ed over by the league again. Moved to Sunday and we'll be in London. I've got 3 tickets if anyone wants them at face value happy to mail them to you and accept paypal/venmo. I've reached out to the club to check on a refund and possible stadium tour instead for Saturday. Guess that means i'll have to come back next year haha.

Thought Coleman was contract until June 2023?

Also isn't Begovic's contract up in the summer as well?

Correct on Séamus; we nave the option of another year for Begović, which I see no reason for us not to use.

Good call thank you both. Edited original post to remove Seamus. Glad he's definitely back for next year.

Even with 4 regulars unavailable no place for Gbamin Tosun and Rondon. HAPPY DAYS.

Thank you all so much, this is truly helpful. Anyone have any experience with livefootballtickets.com? The clubs make it clear that touts are a big deal so we may be unnecessarily scared to try this site. There are lots of tickets available and it feels similar to Stubhub which we have here in the States and is incredibly reliable. 

Blinded by hopeless optimism so it's a yes for me. Changed from 13/14/15 to 11/12. Think it will be Brighton and us fighting for 10th but they ultimately take it.
