The game before Burnley was a win. The game after Burnley was a win, and so were two of the three games after that, including our first win at Palace for decades. Your point was?

We didn't nearly go down. Never shorter than 9-4 and even that for only a day or two. That was mainly thanks to a pretty strong start to the season which included a win against Manchester United and a sequence of three wins in a row at one point. We were not in the relegation zone at any stage...

But not so brilliant that he deserved a chance to take that next step having kept us up in the first two seasons and gained plenty of valuable experience as he did so. Instead, you'd rather take a punt on a manager with undoubted promise but no Premier League experience at all and no shared...

If they hadn't sacked Bailey in the first place ...

Of course it troubled me, they were abject and looked utterly lost. But just *four days later* they got a point at Wolves. Remarkable turnaround, don't you think? Hughton gave them back something - confidence, belief, whatever - and they were able to build on it sufficiently to get over the...

Next game after Fulham - when we could easily have been 3-0 and out of sight at half time - was home versus Watford, when we battered them and had no luck at all in front of goal. xG (from 538) is Albion 2.1, Watford 0.3. Not the performance of a team that's suddenly gone VERY defensive. Game...

We came from behind to get a point against Newcastle, from behind to get a point at Arsenal (which might have been three) and almost kept Spurs at bay for 95 minutes. If we were "unravelling" - which is a matter of opinion anyway - then someone seems to have ravelled us back up again in time to...

Yes, lots of games: good, bad and indifferent. I was there when we beat Manchester United for the second season running and looked very comfortable as we did it. Were you? And when we beat Palace with 10 men. How about you? Couldn't make the FA Cup semi-final sadly, most annoying as I was at the...

We are not now and never have been "relegation favourites". We have been odds-on for relegation once, for a few days, since being promoted - after losing our first two games last season. We are not even in the bottom three in the betting, and weren't before we sacked the manager who got us...

Only if you have 20-20 hindsight. It was the right price in the circumstances ahead of the Cardiff game and we are the right price now at 5-2, which implies around 25pc chance of relegation if you factor in the margin. We are a better price to get something this weekend than Cardiff, and we...

They never had a majority but they made effective use of the seats they did have. There's a photo in the Reichstag museum of the Nazi bloc in the chamber after the election - all in uniform and swastika armbands and all sat together en masse. Looks scary in black and white 80 years later, must...

They were all worse than Huddersfield ... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

It's a three-horse race but still, decent price when 22-1 is top with most bookies.

There in 83, working tomorrow. Kick off is the start of the only two hours of the entire f*cking year that I can't make any time to watch.

We voted to become a second-tier economy next door to the biggest free-trade bloc in the world, at precisely the moment when the rest of the world is starting to form into trading blocs too. As a result, every single trade deal we sign, including the one with the EU, will be on worse terms than...

Run away in complete disarray with our shoelaces tied together would be nearer the mark.

Out of interest, when you thought it all through and did the maths, roughly how much of a hit did you expect the UK economy to take as a result of voting to Leave? Or, to put it another way, what in your opinion is the maximum price worth paying for "full extrication"? 10pc of GDP maybe, or...

Jury Duty has a decent chance but don't take 16-1 when there's loads of 25-1 still available.

It's a fundamental flaw in the concept - the angry are more galvanised to vote for change than the content are motivated to defend the status quo. It's why any referendum on such an immense and irreversible change in a country's relationship with the world would normally require a super-majority...

No, it's not. It's negotiated free trade, which is a very different thing to the automatic, frictionless trade you get as as a member of the single market. The terms will be, inevitably, significantly worse than we enjoy at the moment because the combined economies of the single-market countries...
