@NickMiller79 @FootballCliches At what point in a game can a goal be classed as ‘early’? Personally I’m a single figure guy, but I’ve heard ‘early goal’ used on strikes scored around 25 minutes which is just bonkers surely?

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

@rio_de_gio @myoldmansaid 100% accurate

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

@marshallavfc But the second we then qualified for Europe again we would be subject to the same SCR rules. We’d also massively struggle to attract any top talent with no European football to offer.

It really does suck that we’re so bound by SCR, but there’s no escaping it sadly.

@Alex_Berwick @AVFCTranstweet @danbardell I remember in the early days, before we all understood what he was building, there would be a frustration amongst fans if we weren’t winning games going in to 90 minutes that there was rarely ever a ‘lump it forward’. It was because even then, the belief in the plan was key

@marshallavfc Chelsea picking up 21pts from 33, despite still having to play Arsenal, Villa, United, City, Newcastle, Liverpool and Brighton seems way generous to me

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

@louisdebono2 Because we want to regularly challenge for trophies not win one and go the way of Leeds/Leicester/Portsmouth/Crystal Palace

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

@_stonyd @mjmarr_star Sadly, these days, winning doesn’t start the ball rolling, revenue streams do. We’re already an attractive prospect for players (see Asensio/Rashford loans).

Unfortunately we can’t continue to attract top players without the revenue stream to fund their wages.

@jimmy__mcintosh @LondonPubMap The Rolling Average is actually pub number 1142 on the list

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

Such a strange flex by @SpursOfficial fans, using the fact they can outspend and outpay @AVFCOfficial as a sign of superiority.

The so-called ‘big 6’ is literally the six clubs with the highest revenue streams. It’s not a measure of anything a fan should take pride in.

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

@Ryan_AVFCC Insane take

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

@Alex_Berwick Always love your analysis, bang on the money, but surely there’s a worry (currently atleast) that ‘finding a way’ so far is low xG bangers? That can’t really be sustainable. Interested to see how we tackle the issue of needing to score more ‘basic’ goals

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

@EC_AVFC All these doomsdayers need to be very careful what they wish for. We landed one of the best managers in the world, who has worked wonders for us.

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

@WhatTheForkLads Maybe, maybe not. Players have done far worse and pushed far harder to get moves and come back from it, relationships can heal

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

@WhatTheForkLads He stays and he’s our number one again

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

@Tom49790306 @Ryan_AVFCC Winning a trophy the only measure of success is it? So the 92 professional clubs, only what, 7/8 of them can say they had a good season?

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

@Ryan_AVFCC Amen brother UTV

@paddyhennessy83 Embarrassing comment, have a word with yourself

@Alex_Berwick One of those days it would seem

[Joseph Ruddock @JosephRuddock84]

@KevHughesie Within the first 3 minutes he’d expressed his disdain for Emery’s comments on the competition and yet also remarked on how he was surprised how strong our line up was 😂🤷🏻‍♂️
