Just seen who West Brom are playing on Saturday…
at 23:30 24 Apr 2024

Norwich and West Brom win at 3pm and Hull will need almost impossible scores to get in the playoffs.

They’re either going to be deflated by that or taking crazy risks. Both play into our hands imo

On your last point, they are edging towards that with the latest proposals around PSR.

Yes, we're not being promoted to expect to 'compete' but to make short(ish)-term decisions to maximise that return each year.

The old adage of 17th is a great finish would very much be welcomed by those who stand to make a lot of money off us.

I think that's what my longer comment above was aimed at too.

We won't win anything up in the PL in terms of trophies. We might get a run in a cup, but will probably sacrifice that for PL status so rest people.

And we'll lose more than we win almost every season.

The club will progress significantly, but I don't think it will be quite as enjoyable as a regular fan

It depends what "every chance" means.

Every chance of staying up? That becomes the reality for 12 of the 20 each season and we will be in that group.

Agree completely.

1st year up will feel like a holiday you've looked forward to for years, but they forgot to tell you they hadn't finished building the hotel, nothing works but they'll pay you some nice compensation for the trouble.

It will be great to test ourselves against bigger teams each week, but it will see this team we love broken up and the club changed for the foreseeable and probably much more short-term in it's decision making to try and keep the PL money flowing.

Some good, some bad, but we'd like to find out ourselves...

IF we don't go up... Which players do we see being wanted by bigger clubs?
at 10:37 23 Apr 2024

I'd imagine if we go up, we are the perfect place for both to continue the development for their parent clubs, as the next obvious move is to a lower-end PL club for them.

If we don't go up, we won't have a chance.

FFS can’t see how this win won’t spur them on for the last two games
at 22:27 22 Apr 2024

Agree, they only had 38% possession and had worse ‘stats’ on every metric apart from the scoreline.

Which is of course all that matters, but it was a lot of work off the ball for them

QPR are basically safe though, so depends on how much they want it on Friday

Not a given, but given what we had to do to go up last season, not impossible or improbable

Threatened with arrest for being openly Jewish on the streets of London
at 20:35 22 Apr 2024

C4 news say they have seen even more video of the day from different locations and different officers.

Again, wrong thing to say to him in the moment by the officer, but it was entirely planned by the agitator and the media are now calling it out unlike this morning when he was the ‘hero’

Not great for us as supporters, but the matchday/ticket income is so much less important in the Premier League, so we can afford to lose a stand for a season (or more)

There was a graph on Twitter a while ago, which showed how TV income dwarfs everything else that I commented on at the time, albeit for a different reason

Which makes me think, a fun activity for this afternoon. What do we rename some stadia so it is more accurate?

100% he was known and different police officers had a discussion with him and his entourage that day. Whether they had conveyed that to all the officers is in doubt I guess.

Still doesn't make the comment "openly jewish" any less horrific, but as I said in other posts here earlier, they knew who they were dealing with and his previous tactics at demonstrations.

Edit: Article below explaining the fuller story with the missing context not shown on the news until today.

Championship Opta predictions
at 14:42 22 Apr 2024

Unlikely. 1 more win for Norwich and it's all over I think due to the goal difference.

But Hull you'd assume will beat Coventry as Cov will be on such a downer after yesterday?
