Alright Skybos, let it go.

That's probably why goal difference is shown on the league table.

I think you mean their agents tell them they can but, other than that, aye.

Don't be silly. To get a full picture, you need to know exactly how many points per game you need from your remaining games in order to get a completely arbitrary total end of season points total of 40.

It gives a fairly comprehensive picture at this stage of the season. I'm not having a piss boring argument with you about it though

Aye, because it omits out loads of unnecessary information

Aye, and then there'll be a new up-to-date table :lol:

Could you not just look at the league table?

Pleased you took that in the spirit in which it was intended

I feel a lot better now I know we only have the 4th worst points per game shortfall in the league

Maybe Stevie was talking about himself

Aye. Think if you offered me a single point I'd take it though.

Was Linford Christie iirc.

The two games in hand are Stoke away and Man City at home though

We're only 2nd bottom on goal difference

Scored a decent goal v Watford.

Aye, it's too early to make a call on Lascelles I think. Although, given the club's track record on developing youngsters, perhaps we should write him off

Fish's insouciance worries me almost as much as the manager's

If we go down and it's only on goal difference that'll be a huge consolation.

Remember when Bramble and Boumsong had a period where they looked like a very good partnership (when Boumsong first arrived)? I think most people thought that Boumsong was going to be a class act and he was a calming influence at the back. In retrospect, Bramble had one of those purple patches that occurred every now and again when he was full of confidence and everything was going right for him and Boumsong looked good because Bramble's form made it easy for him.

I can't work out why people think you're argumentative

I remember when they were doing well (around the period Stevie mentioned earlier) and they were getting positive press due to record season ticket sales. Something in the region of 28,000. Around the same time we featured in an article which put a negative spin on our ST sales as we'd 'only' sold something like 35,000 and the new season was only a few weeks away. Which further demonstrates why we're a bigger club

Remember when I went down there and we beat them 1-0 I think, Shearer scored. Not a great game like. The whole fucking city seemed to turn out during our police escort back to the motorway just to hockle and stick their Vs up at the coaches. Women and young kids and everything. I could barely fathom what a bunch of tragic tramps they were or why they thought we'd be doing anything other than laughing at them.

Think it's 7 wins and something in the region of 9 away goals since then Edit: Just the two away wins in that period too I think.

I love interrogating a database
