[Albion] 23/24 - Now half way through the season - rate it!

[Simster]

A club of our stature has no right to be competing against oil states and going toe-to-toe with the dozen clubs or so who have hoovered up 90% of domestic trophies English football has ever offered between them - never mind topping a Europa group containing two clubs that have won the biggest European trophy available 4 times between them.

So against that background and a crippling injury list, we've had a great season so far. Into the last 16 in Europe, top 8 in the league and still very much in the mix for top 4/5.

I give it an 8 - one point point dropped for not having kept a league clean sheet and one for not quite reaching last season's heights in the league. But still, it's been outstanding.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Definitely an 8/10. Europa league results have been exceptional and to currently be in the top ten of the Premier league with the ridiculous amount of injuries we have is also quite exceptional.

Disappointed Dunk failed in his annual mid season suspension escape

5 - Ajax 4, Marseilles 1

In other news the Dutch for pedant is mierenneuker, which is translated as ant fucker (well ants), which the Dutch courts have ruled that you are within your rights to call a policeman, I assume either if they are being a pedant or making love to ants.

Exceptional - the 9 or 10 will come when we WIN something

 

[Greg Bobkin]

By that logic, Man city were an 8/10 last year.

Never had so much fun being a Brighton fan.

Yep. Perfection would be winning every single game and conceding zero goals. Almost impossible, but then so is actual perfection.

Or he could have come & missed it & they scored = a bigger mistake

How could it be a "bigger" mistake - it would have been the same outcome.

How could it be a "bigger" mistake - it would have been the same outcome.

If he had come out & missed it & they score = mistake. If you don't save a shot that you can't reach = isn't a mistake. The fact that he could or couldn't have come out to claim it is a hypothetical situation which is open to debate. But isn't a fact. & opinions will only be based on people's subjective opinions. Mine is that he is a safer option than Bart (who has made more clearer errors (including errors that directly led to a goal) in his fewer starts than our Lord Jason Steele)
