Well, I really can't compete with the manliness of the "My God" replies.
Sir, would be fine.
I should realize that sarcasm isn't for everyone.
Anyway, let's not make it a mud-slinging contenst.
This is what I have:
Swansea City (H) – 2-1 Loss – A team destined to finish in the bottom half of the table.
Sunderland (A) – 1-1 Draw – A team got thumped 8-0 by S'ton and will flirt with relegation for the the rest of the season.
MK Dons (COC) – 4 – 1 Loss – MK Dons! MK freaking Dons! Kills chances of youngsters getting some useful minutes with the first team.
Burnley (A) – 0-0 draw – Dour performance against a team that'll finish in the bottom three.
QPR (H) – 4-0 Win. It's QPR. Our best performance this season. QPR most likely will finish in the bottom three.
Leicester City (A) – 5-3 loss – Are we Spurs in disguise? LC destined to finish b/w 15-20.
West Ham (H) – 2-1 Win – Scrapped a win. Complete meltdown from 60 minutes on.
Everton (H) – 2-1 Win – Scrapped a win against a decent oppositon. Complete meltdown from 60 minutes on. Still, one step forward.
West Brom (A) – 2-2 Draw – Two step backwards.
- 12 points from 8 games against mediocre opposition. 6 of them are guaranteed to finish in the bottom half of the table. I am being generous with the other two.
- Still to win away from home.
- Three of the next four are against the 1st, 3rd and 4th placed teams from last season. 2 of them away.
- We could have as low of 15 points from 12 games.
- The points total for the teams that finished 4th in the last 5 seasons is as follows: 79, 73, 69, 68, 70. Which averaged is 71.8, or 72 points.
- Which means we may have to secure 57 points from the 26 games left, which is 2.19 points per games. Last seasons champions averaged 2.26/games.
I want to be the most positive person on the planet, but the numbers aren't allowing me to be. I would be scared us playing Southampton at the moment, forget City or Chelsea.
The part you quoted in my previous post; tell me what did I say that was objectionable or OTT?
- In what world was that our best performance of the season?
- Wouldn't we have criticized Moyes if he called that “our best performance of the season”
- Did Rojo and Jones not indulge in stupid hoofing, giving the ball away constantly?
- Didn't both of them gave terrible defensive performances? Rojo had problem dealing with every long ball that came his way.
- Forgive me for not taking shine to Van Gaal's constant use of the word “philosophy”. I need to see that “philosophy” on the pitch, mere words don't mean anything. In life, or in football, I am generally not impressed with psuedo intelectual bullcrap.
