Buonanotte suspended. Vardy, Ayew, Fatawu probably all out too. Comfortable away win. After the anomaly freak stat that we'd scored in every game we are now destined to go on a run of games without scoring, which started in our last. 0-2.

Chelsea to win to nil at Leicester is 11/5 I think. Ridiculous.

Very quiet week this week - even I completely forgot which I think is the first time ever. Two players, two losses, but no table moves. Think @CaaC (John) can consider himself very unlucky this week as Germany romped home (albeit at the shortest odds backed by anybody old season) and Turkey largely dominated, even missing an 89th minute penalty, but couldn't get the win. @Stan landed the Poland Scotland cards, just, as the 40th and 50th booking points arrived in the 93rd and 95th minutes. However Serbia v Denmark was let down by a repeat of the Euros group game where it ended goalless. The booking points won at a canter, the corners also won.

Having an absolute belter of a save here in Czech Republic. I'll do a proper review of it. Could be on the cusp of something pretty outrageous.

Quiet week but it's three losers this time out. I can only assume people forgot - I usually tag people in a post as a bit of a reminder and didn't so my bad I guess. I don't think anybody made any terrible picks here. I think we were all fairly close. Noah were absolutely terrible but in fairness, even within this prism they weren't a million miles off getting a consolation goal. @RandoEFC again you have to say was quite unlucky. Tottenham have been winning those games all season so for them to lose is a real turnup. @Stan I feel like I call unlucky every week but once again I think you'd have to say he was - with Gabela missing a penalty which would've given him a winner, and profit overall for the whole league. No movement in the table this week. Reminder for next @Smiley Culture @CaaC (John) @Lucas @Pyfish @...Dan although I do think we have struggled on these weeks for a little while.

That is pretty much exactly what I expect to pan out. Where we've had some luck against Ipswich and Southampton probably is a bit of a false flag in the long run because all it serves to do is keep a bad manager in post before it's too late. I've seen with the way they just let Rodgers rot everything in 2022/23 that they are not proactive. The only thing that gives me any hope is that Rodgers did have genuine credit in the bank here and Cooper has virtually none, as well as him being a lot tougher to get rid of due to his contract. They did prove though in time they would get rid - they just did it at the dumbest possible time. I have seen enough from Cooper. He's totally out of his depth at this level. A poor coach who the players clearly don't really respect, the fans don't really support and was only appointed on the pretence of us being in a far weaker bargaining position than it turned out we were in. We would be criticised by the media but their track record tells me this would be a good thing anyway. There is nothing being built, no foundations being laid, we're just throwing teams out hoping for the best and quite often we're finding it. But then I don't think you can rely on playing Ipswich or Southampton going down to 10 men every week. Cooper out.

Three straight hammerings is embarrassing imo. I don't even expect us to go there and win but we're getting frequently rolled there in their absolute worst state. It's a wasted opportunity as much as anything. I'm really unimpressed with us. Frankly lucky to be where we are.

Surprise surprise, we get close to overall profit and everyone loses like night follows day.

Man Utd fans must think we're an absolute joke of a club. We must be the only ones in the country scared of going to that ground in 2024. 3-0 today. 5-2 last week. 3-0 in 2023. It's absolutely pathetic.

History repeating itself from two years ago IMO. We are abundantly bad, in the three worst teams in the league but the table doesn't yet reflect it and our decision makers will once again fail to see it, and act too late. I've seen enough from Cooper. He hasn't got a clue.

Cooper. I've seen enough. If he sees May, well, probably February/March we will be going down again.

This manager is not the answer. Get him out.

Every time without fail when I do one to get it underway.

I'm going to stick Chelsea to beat Noah with both teams to score as my first pick. 5/2 odds. Chelsea surely win the game, but Noah's results in Europe this season tell me they're not quite the no-hopers the odds imply they are.
