The optimistic to the point of disillusionment thread

[Morph]

Right with all those hard games out the way, the season officially starts here

[joyno]

every week a different memebr of the site has said that the season starts here...i'm still waiting for it to start.

it as started and its ****.

I haven't given up on 3rd. Arsenal have had a much easier season start than we have. They have difficult games to come - including against us next week. We'll be all out not to lose that one. I have a sneaky feeling that our season starts next week. Optimistic enough for you?

yes that will do

[Morph]

sorry

momo can thread a pass through the eye of a needle.

pennant looks great

we're playing incredible football

No now ya see you made the usual mistake, they aren't optimistic they are lies

[carrsim]

Okay lets clutch at some straws here -

We're no further off the top of the table than we were this morning still 11 points off

11 points isn't a massive gap, difficult to close but not impossible

There's still 98 points up for grabs, with all but one of our traditionally hardest fixtures done with.

Man u and Chelscum you would expect at least to drop a further 18 points each by the end of the season.

On average over the last few seasons around 88-92 points will win the prem, we could still hit this target, and drop roughly 10 points.

We are 8 points worse off than last season in corresponding fixtures, but theres plenty of opportunitys to make these 8 points up over the course of the season, to at least bring us level to last season.

All we need to do is hit form, and win a shed load of games between now and May - highly unlikely, but not impossible.

Disclaimer - this thread in unhealthily optimistic.

after sleeping on it.

our form can't get any worse than it is right now.
agger will be fit again soon

we will finish in the top 3

But if you're never disappointed when **** happens you never experience the same highs when things go right

I share your pain, brother...

[Red_Polo]

I can at least comfort myself I don't live in Manc territory. You must be copping it ****ing bad out there.

The pub was, erm, lively!

TBH, I don't get much abuse. Even wearing a 'European Champions 2005' tee-shirt in a Man Utd pub in Manchester...

[Red_Polo]

Our pub had a few Mancs in. Wasn't too bad though because they were the kind that just when 'ooh' and clapped their hands when they scored
