I know that
To be fair theres a handful of posters doing the anti jinx, and they're not going around lording it when we do drop points. They quietly go on to focus on the next match.
They are the true heroes
There's a lot of hangers on however, so perhaps it's their fault
FFSFFF
We need a player to bang some in. When firmino and salah dont look like scoring its an issue.
Also we were missing two first choice CMs and it showed. Far more than at RB. Hendo and Gini play last night we'd do loads better

Fabinho and Keita are supposed be two of our first-choice CMs. They cost nearly ONE HUNDRED MILLION POUNDS.
And they were woeful.
Totally agree he cant do a TAA job; but I think we can also agree that if Clyne had been playing he wouldn't have been there (albeit offside) to put the cross in for Mane last night, or get the knock-back at the far post for Salah's goals against Palace.
Now, maybe having Clyne at RB in those games would have allowed Milner to be in midfield and create something different (and probably not get sent off), maybe not
I dont think they suit our shape together. You can add one into a settled 11 no worries but 2 behind Lallana is a fucking struggle.
Also, Gini has been our best player this season, and his loss is why we haven't been winning imo
That's cos we haven't had have the full back threat so we can't stretch defences & make room for him to take advantage of, it effectively localises our main threats in a small area, making it easier to defend against.
If TAA isn't ready for Bournemouth I'd agree it makes sense that match, but as soon as he's back I'd put him back down the middle.
Yeah I don't subscribe to the Anti Jinxing (AJ) posts myself but I was never a firm believer of the negative jinx itself. DSE, Fabio and Hal seem to be the main Negative Jinx Masters (NJM) on here. Does Tom Brown do it as well? I think Hal is so full on at times that posters are genuinely confused whether he is actually trying to be a jinx or OTT negative.
We've had a few OG Positive Jinxers back in the day. Doc Mac going out for a smoke so we'd score a goal. Fabio not going to the game so we'd win. Judge Jules watching our games on 'Old Faithful'. Jon Fox's socks and of course Oncy's lucky penis.
Tom Brown does not believe in jinxes, fairies, santa, the easter bunny or God.
I often say things like "we're going to win 5-0" or "Keita will score" and shit, because its funny when people get all paranoid about it
Does that make me an NJM or a non-NJM?
Side question (probably to JJ or some other clever bod) - is it correct to write "an NJM" as the word for N ("en") begins with a vowel or "a NJM" as N is a consonant? I know if I say it I would always use "an", but is it different when written?

Yeah, maybe we could move to a new stadium, somewhere in Manchester maybe, and change our kit to light blue and stuff.
The best point made all day. I'm still on dry Jan as I only started after the kids went back to school, so decided to extend it into February, but it officially ends this Friday night.
If our fortunes pick up to coincide with my return to alcohol, then, notwithstanding my dialectical materialist approach to life and rejection of all things ethereal, I will never again have another dry January, but will instead go for a dry June or July
What's the conventional length of time of a blip? 29 years? A month?
Yeah, its awful.
That's very deep.
Fixed
If it is a blip and we come out of it the other end against Bournemouth, then two matches will be a small rut to climb out of.
Let's see how the land lies after the weekend, but more importantly lets keep on, keeping on!

So to clarify: "blips" are like tunnels, that you can emerge from, and "ruts" definitely require some climbing to escape from.
I know who to come to when we are in a "trough" or hit a "wobbly patch"
Is a rut not similar to a trough?
I think so, but you're better off asking the expert, EnterShaqiri.
He knows his ruts from his troughs, for deffo.
