    Projection. Trolling or attention seeking.

    I'm just asking questions.

    Have we? How are you defining 'better'? Who is 'better' than Ross Barclay?

    Make a combined eleven of the two squads. How many players are there from each team?

    Could be quite a list, but I'll start with Bruno Fernandes off top of my head

    Depends how you defining better. I reckon Ross would be more chilled at a nox party...whereas Bruno would be better if you needed to chew your way out of jail.

    Over the past 6 years most regular starters in the Premier league and other top european leagues have achieved more than Ross Barkley. Gio Reyna has if you want an obscure example of someone who plays for us. He is a serial failer who might (might) have got his career back on track just as he is entering the final years of his career, but a string of good games for the third worst team in the Premier league hasn't turned him into Zinedine Zidane.

    Talented, no doubt. But he has wasted that talent for most of his career.

    Well he's not wasting it now because he has been sensational for Poo-ton this season.

    Put someone on him. Make his life a misery. if you don't, you asking for it.

    Chicago: Tactical genius.

    We've got games coming up against Fulham and Spurs and we're probably going to lose those as well.

    You are writing off Fulham at home? Presumably Man City as well. What about Wolves and Chelsea? They are both above Fulham.

    We don’t have much margin for error, do we? There’s a decent chance we need to win four or five out of six winnable games in your view.

    Just checked and Fulham currently rank 17th away from home - they've won 10 points from 14 games, one more than us. It won't be must win, obviously, but it has to be a game we look to win and are disappointed if we don't.

    Just to confirm, your assumption is we are getting at least 10 points deducted and we're going to lose all 10 remaining games?

    No I reckon 6 points off now, but I do struggle to see us winning (m)any more games.

    There you go - already 4 points up.

    For what it's worth, this is our 10 remaining games ranked by statistical difficulty (just points and goal difference, I'm not completely mental), easiest to hardest (but that may be obvious):

    1. Burnley away
    2. Sheffield United away
    3. Fulham home
    4. Luton away
    5. Everton away
    6. Palace home
    7. Wolves home
    8. Chelsea home
    9. Man City home
    10. Spurs away

    Luton equivalent:

    2. Fulham home
    3. Brentford home
    4. Bournemouth away
    5. Everton home
    6. Bournemouth home
    7. West Ham away

    Luton have some tougher away trips, but problem I have is we don't really beat anyone away so it doesn't matter who we play!

    It’s all gone a bit hysterical after the weekend.

    A few less diabolical decisions against us and we have more points. A couple of sitters not missed and we have more points. We have largely been competitive under Nuno.

    Yes it’s getting harder as the results don’t come but little point in the fanbase giving up now. It’s all gone whiny and wimpy rather than ‘fuck the premier league’ and I’m not sure that mentally helps at all.
