On that note, has any other team made the playoffs with a losing record *twice* in its history?

Granted we went to the playoffs in 2014 at 7-8-1...and won in the Wild Card round.

Agreed! Very heavy legs in the first half, looked way more susceptible to counterattacks than we normally do. I'm interested to see who starts Wednesday.

Very disappointing. I gave it multiple tries following the patches and ultimately went back to FM24.

Been waiting for him to get an appearance all season. So proud of him and can only imagine how he's feeling getting the chance to play a role in seeing out that result.

Thanks, Eoin! Seems like they're making decent progress but still a long road ahead. I mainly miss the accessibility of data -- both the passing/heat maps and ability to compare players' attributes.

Eoin, are the improvements in the patch noticeable? Anything in particular stand out for you?

Just fascinating how chaotic the start to this season has been!

Tons of pride. Reminiscent of how I felt after we went to Craven Cottage our first year back in the Championship -- a highly entertaining and gutsy performance.

That's a fair comparison, I think. I know how insufferable I can sound when I talk about Oasis, so I try to self-censor a bit. Still, it's nice to see people get to enjoy whichever artist brings them joy!

Got the assist, though! Still a great predictions in my books.

Absolutely was, Oli! When Liverpool were up two-nil against 10 men, I thought it was a done deal. How wrong I was (as was the case with my Sunderland pick). Some surprising results this week!

Happy to participate, Oli! So long as I beat the algorithm, I'll consider myself a winner.
