The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[Saint Domingo]

I didn't think that we would go down BUT you knew we wouldn't. That's the difference.

Maybe you should get yourself a scarf and a crystal ball and do a turn on Blackpool prom.

This doesn’t even make any sense now

 

[Saint Domingo]

I mean, yes you literally did;

‘I don’t think there’s a huge improvement waiting to be unlocked from these players, I genuinely don’t.’ Nov

‘You can keep moaning about the tactics all you want, they’re not going to change, or if they do it will be with worse results’. Dec.

Just own it mate.

it’s not the same as the argument you were making, which incidentally is irrelevant to the point we were originally discussing which was we weren’t going down.

You just seem upset that the performances of three teams at the bottom show we in most likelihood wouldn’t have gone down even if Dyche had stayed. Why this hypothetical upsets you so much I don’t know.

I cannot see Leeds, Sheff Utd or Burnley doing much better next year....

Still going with the Dyche stuff, SD? Fair dues, the stamina you have and your love for Dyche are impressive. When do you think that you'll be able to move on, do you think?

With them planning to sue us, that Burnley game could be tasty.

If Leeds stick with Farke they'll be straight back down. Good at Championship level, but a poor Premier League coach. I think Kieran McKenna will soon fall into that bracket too.

Burnley have been very good defensively but they struggle to score enough and that will be something they need to sort out in the summer. Leeds are loved by the media for some reason, they`re like a poor mans RS. Would love to see them drop into the playoffs and come a cropper there.

I think it does and I think that you are just being awkward (as ever).

You’re the one who’s invented that everyone was saying we were “definitely going down” under Dyche. You’ve only done this because you have no actual real arguments left, and the manager that replaced him has left you with egg on your face after you spent months harassing anyone that suggested he should be sacked on here. You were jumping on anyone suggesting a different manager could get better results with the same players, you were like an attack dog, it was embarrassing to be honest with you.

Now you’re inventing some weird narrative that everyone thought we were down under him, not the fact that being 17th and 1 point clear of the drop zone in January just wasn’t good enough in the first place.

Hopefully when he lands at Cardiff or somewhere over the summer you might reassess this whole episode and realise your staunch defence of him was laughable.

Move in where? Your ma's? She's more of a weekend drop in.

It doesn’t. You’re trying to argue something that just isn’t there. I said most of the season I didn’t think we’d go down because the bottom 3 were conceding a lot more than us and our defence would keep us up. A lot of other people said we were going down. Since Dyche has left the bottom 3 haven’t even got past the 17 point mark we were on (with a game in hand) at the time he left. So unless people think we’d lose all 10 under Dyche to make it 12 wins in a row, it was a fair assessment by me, the bottom 3 are very poor and their defensive performances were the indicator to it.

We’d also previously had the 4th best defence in the league the season prior and our record with Branthwaite back playing this season was much better than the newly promoted teams, another indicator showing that as long as he stayed fit we probably wouldn’t be in trouble.

Moyes said it himself, we didn’t look like a team that would be in trouble.

Sorry meant move on. I know you got excited for a second there.

Says the bloke supporting the RS in a cup final. Honestly your inane ramblings held zero credence with me anyway but yesterday was your jump the shark moment. A load of twaddle from a kopite sympathiser.

Apology accepted, and you can still call me daddy if you like.
