We are deep in the grim footballing winter. The world cup is dead. Cristiano Ronaldo is dead. Liverpool's title ambitions are extremely dead. Leeds are crap. January, however, is also a time for positivity and expectations for the year ahead. Arsenal are winning the league. Newcastle are finishing top 4. Erling Haaland is going to break alan shearers career goals record in a single season. There are approximately 400 games a week. Frank Lampard still has a job. Here's the table:  10 points between 11th and 20th, the bottom half of the league is an absolute knife fight. Notable games this month include the title decider between arsenal and newcastle tomorrow, the manchester derby on the 14th, the north London derby on the 15th, and idk Leeds v west ham should be good for a laugh. Transfer window's open as well. Gakpo is off the board but still plenty of time for clubs to drop a comically large amount of money on some world cup guy who had 3 good games Marsch out

Leeds have won 2 out of their last 17 games in all comps but still in 14th due to every team below them loving up. Long may this continue (the other teams being poo poo, not Leeds stinking the place out)

So at what point do arsenal fans go from 'just happy to be in the top 4' to starting to be disappointed if they don't win the league Still loads of games left but starting to get Leicester vibes as every team around them slip up at key moments and arsenal just win the games they'd immediately bottle in previous seasons

Apparently the very accurate odds have been slashed for bielsa. Would love him to get paid a lot of money to clean up lampards mess but don't think he'd get the total control of everything and the time to get the players up to speed he had that made it work at Leeds

Sean 'the worm worrier' dyche to Everton is a done deal. Expecting grit, tackles, pies, headers, and aggression

Saw this article in the echo:quote:Sean Dyche has banned snoods and hats from Everton training sessions and called on every player to wear shin pads. Lolling at 1) managers still getting mad about snoods and 2) lampard era training sessions just being a light no contact kickabout with your winter coat and hat on

Worth remembering that for all the jokes dyche isnt just a comedy 70s throwback (not that anyone here is suggesting that but you do hear it a lot). Came across this vid the other day where he explains the way he sets his teams up and thought it was dead interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3YY7PY-IH0

Needlessly complicated and punitive to deduct points from previous seasons. Think a sensible punishment would be the standard 15 point deduction for each season retroactively applied to 2023-24, starting the season on minus 135 points. Also they have to sell haaland to Leeds for 100 quid and a bag of training bibs
