Exactly what I was trying to verbalise. We fans have been conditioned to look at the table as a measure. 7th is better than 12th. But not as good as 5th.

What difference does it make? TBH, I'm not even sure I'm that excited to be in the CL any more playing *checks notes* Monaco and Slavia Prague,

We fans hear "ACL injury", think ahh crap. He's out for the test of the season.

But let's be honest. We don't spare a further thought for the impact such an injury has on the player, their livelihood, the long journey back they face, the uncertainty about their recovery.

It's an amazing video.

The thing I will always love Ange for is exactly that he prioritised winning a big major trophy knowing full well his job was lost. Because he said from the moment he walked through the door that we fans had suffered long enough without winning anything.

So Saturday I learned that it's ok to throw objects at opposition players in the Premier League. #COYS

He's not even 4 weeks through the door taking charge of a rabble with no preseason and playing against Arsenal and Newcastle. More fool him for taking the job in the first place but Jesus, what a bunch of entitled dicks the Forrest fans are.

I choose to enjoy that we won and bemoan the 2 dropped points against the team on the bottom of the table.

This referee is a rank amateur.

Frank Savaglio @franksavaglio.bsky.social · 7d

Was that a handball by the ref?

Frank Savaglio @franksavaglio.bsky.social · 8d

Constantly distracted by faces of the crowd behind the managers. And I can't work out if Leeds is a good place to be a dentist or not

So happy for Tel to have scored that. #COYS

Decisiveness in the box is not really his forte.

Ha! I was typing out "any goal you score that is not checked by VAR"

Which is why he should have driven a mile past going for this job. It is the classic Premier League set-up-to-fail appointment

I've felt like I've been muted on here for a while tbh

Not having that. He has been in charge since June.

And it's not like we played away to Juventus. We *should* be winning against a team like Bodo given the sheer difference in quality of the teams.

I'm all for balance but not for sugar coating.
