How much does it wreck your day when we get a bad result?

WTF?

Bit of reality and context needed I think. Last year (and many times in the past) we have crumbled and lost at Portsmouth. Today we drew and kept another clean sheet. We have still only conceded two goals in five matches - both poignantly from penalties - and have the best goal difference by far.

We have still not lost a match yet we have played Villa, Portsmouth and Sunderland away and Derby and Chelsea at home. If you'd have told me on August 10th we'd get 11 points from our first 5 games with 11 goals scored and just 2 conceded I'd have taken that.

We have not lost, we have not conceded a goal and we're still up at the top end of the league with our best start in the premiership in recent years and a home match against struggling Birmingham next week. We're also through to the group stage of the Champions League with three opponents that could have been worse so let's leave out the amateur dramatics and hysterics eh?

still should have won

Great post, well put and so true.

I wish I had that attitude

Yeah but to be fair, you have that attitude to politics and the tour de France

Except it's NOT true because we're not top of the league

Cue the hysterics and dramatics

No such thing as it's only football/a game. Gets on my tits when the wife says that.

You make good points in fairness,but the fact that Pompey are a bogey side for us does not mean we should think a point is ok.Are we going to go there next year and think the same too.That struggling Birmingham side heve took points off us too under Rafa.We will beat them easy though because Gerrard,Monster,Torres,Kuyt and Babel will all be back in the team most probably and we will be a completely different team.

and Scum drew 1-1 there.

True but battered them off the park and got hit with a goal against the run of play.We had one shot saved

Which bit of that did you not quite grasp?

And another shot hit the bar...

Still, you're absolutely right 'cos at the end of the season a draw where you dominate the game but don't win because of a breakaway goal is worth more points than a draw where you don't play well, save a penalty and still don't lose...

[cobain]

[sonsofthedesert]

He'd have to read it first.

[Red Chilli]

Which bit of that did you not quite grasp?

I grasped it as I was reading through the quote of your post but I thought, **** it, I'll press "submit reply" anyway

"First is first, second is nowhere"

OK, OK, cancel the dramatics and the hysterics
