Plenty of very tricky games coming up that will really test us but so far so good.


This was true under Houllier and Rafa, but is not true for BR, in fact it's quite the opposite.

I agree with you. I said at some point at the end of last season looking towards this one that what we have become is a version of United under Fergie where they might not get the big wins against the top teams but win 90% of the games against the bottom 10/12 teams. Obviously we are no where near that level yet but we are definitely on the right track. As it stands we have played 8 teams in the bottom 12. We have amassed 20 points out of 24 with a GD of +12. If you adjust that for a full season that sort of record would give us 60 points. We would probably need 15 more after that to get into the top 4

However, I suggest that if we looked at it like a school teacher the report would read something like:

'B+. a good start to the season but wouldn't have expected anything less. Needs to eradicate the minor slip ups and beware as the tougher exams lie ahead of us. Well done so far, but need to keep focussed and keep it going'.

I say that on the basis that all our wins are one's we'd expect except the home win over you know who. We got 2 points more than we perhaps hoped for at best. On the otherside, we dropped 3 points at home to Southampton and I reckon 2 more points away to Newcastle - esp as they were down to 10 men and we were winning. I think the other results are fair hence suggest we have net 3 points less than we could reasonably have expected to have got by now.

Mighty funny you should make this thread. Wasnt it you who I was talking to last year when I was doing my uni project and kept stopping for smoking breaks during?? Well just to let you know I got an A in the end laugh. The system works!


It was indeed. Well done. sounds like you need to bottle this system of yours and sell for a few grand per bottle smile
