Asprilla 96 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 People have short memories. Our club is in a far better state than it was 12 months ago. Less arrogance, less trouble, more professionalism, better attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Lombardi 53063[/snapback] Struggling against Birmingham at home with just about the preferred first team doesn't bode well for when the good teams like the mighty Wigan pay us a visit though.

Most teams in the league have games in hand on us. In the points per game league we're 11th and if you extrapolate everyone out to 12 games using the PPG we're 4 points off third. Pld Pts PPG PP12G Chelsea |11 | 31| 2.81 | 33.82 Wigan |11 | 25 | 2.27 | 27.27 Arsenal |11 | 20 | 1.82 | 21.82 Spurs | 11| |20 | 1.82 | 21.82 Bolton | 11 | 20 | 1.82 |21.82 Man Utd | 10 | 18 |1.8 |21.6 Man City | 12| 20 |1.67 |20 West Ham | 11 | 18 | 1.64 |19.64 Charlton | 12 | 19 | 1.58 |19 Liverpool | 10| 16 | 1.6 |19.2 Newcastle | 12 |18 |1.5 | 18 Blackburn | 12 |17 |1.42 | 17 M'boro | 11 |15 |1.36 | 16.36 Fulham | 12 | 12 |1 |12 Pompey | 12| 10 |0.83 |10 A Villa | 11 | 9 | 0.82 |9.81 Everton | 10| |7 |0.7| 8.4 WBA |12| 8 |0.67 |8 Brum | 12| 6| 0.5 | 6 Sund'land | 12| 5 |0.42 | 5 So things are twice as bad as you think.

Rose tinted, not really as it's a statstical fact. And YES we struggled yesterday BUT we won. remember Fulham last season, gubbed em and lost, I remember playing Sheff Utd in the 70/80's (yes I AM old) and we absolutely played them off the park (lovely stuff) and got beat 3-0 (Thank you Tony Currie).

LeazesMag 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Move on people, no point arguing about Bellamy and Robert now. 53097[/snapback] True. But expect it to re-surface when Souness is sacked, and Bellamy moves on from Blackburn to a club more suitable to his talents, and it dawns on even the most blind and ardent Souness spin believer what we have thrown away for peanuts of his value.

Edit: In the long term whole picture sense, rather than 3 points on the board for now. 53092[/snapback] We've got better players IMO, and from a points on the board perspective we've only got a few less than almost everyone else, or a few more if you want to be a pessimist. After yesterday we really shouldn't get worse (yet we won) SO we should get better therefore currently we are "competitive" with everyone else (bar one) and hopfully the only way is up. As ever time will tell which way we are really going, for me - I'm more hopefull than dissenchanted. Well as hopefull as a follower of his team can be given our history.

Brock Manson 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 WE'VE HAD ABOUT 4 FUCKING GAMES IN 2 WEEKS! The players can't be razor-sharp every game especially if most of them have/are coming back from injuries. They also haven't had the opportunity to play in a game situation very often have they? Things will no doubt improve, they'd better in terms of we're 50 million short but whinging about not outplaying Birmingham isn't going to help is it? That isn't rose-tinted specs, that's a bloody fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
