It's the people that go back months and years for cheap point scoring vaulting opportunities that are lacking in any argumentative rigour. The idea that as new information becomes available that you shouldn't change your view because you said something once and you should be held to that view forever is the approach that is facile.

For someone who wants to "stick to debating football", you sure do get into a lot of these rows.

Anyway, this is drifting off topic. 15 points from 15 games, with the 3 matches remaining to be played of the 18 teams in the league being Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea, is a bit rubbish isn't it? Could it have anything at all to do with the manager? He's a bit one paced isn't he?

I would say he is a 3 mile stayer who likes the heavy ground running in a 5 furlong sprint on fast ground.

I don’t actually see him being sacked when the new owners are confirmed but hopefully it adds some pressure when he goes through him winless runs for fun.

Tough game against Chelsea but no reason we can’t get anything from it.

City looks dreadful right now but I fully expect we will make them look like Prime City on Boxing Day.

No inconsistency. I said he played negative football and that others confused that with pragmatism. For example, if he played negative football against Arsenal at the Emirates but played a more attacking style against weaker teams at home, then that could be called pragmatism. However, if you play negative, safety first, don't concede, hope to sneak a goal on a set piece football against everyone, then that's not pragmatism that's just how you want to play football. Pragmatism implies some sort of compromise or at least an adjustment to deal with a varying challenge. There's none of that. We play the same formation, largely with the same players and with the same patterns of play against everyone. Once again, in my opinion, that is not pragmatism.

We'll find out soon enough whether I'm wide of the mark as Dyche always has periods where he wins no games. He's had them every season at every club he's ever been at, usually multiple spells a season. My bet is that you'll still be in here rationalising why it's not his fault/he's actually doing a good job/the risk of replacing him exceeds the risk of keeping him when that happens.

You think we set up the same way vs Fulham at home, or Bournemouth, or Saints away, or even United away as we did against Arsenal yesterday? We absolutely never...

Well, let's look at my history on here shall we...

Big supporter of Carlo until he left.

Didn't think Benitez was a smart choice, but felt we couldn't just sack another manager willy nilly once he'd been given the job and had some sympathy for the paltry transfer fund he was given.

Backed Frank, right up until Boxing Day (well, at least certainly until after the last Bournemouth game) after which I offered him no backing.

Now I've backed another manager but apparently I'll never turn... Don't give up the day job and become a professional gambler mate :hayee:
