Fantastic post.
Well, based on the fact that when he left we had 13 points from 6 games, (having beaten Man U, West Ham, Leeds and Leicester, drawn against Newcastle and lost to Fulham), 13/6 = 2.16 points per game, so at this stage having played 36 games we'd now be on 78 points (2.16 x36=78), three points behind Arsenal and with a game in hand. With Arsenal losing all their games now and us getting 4 points from 2 games, we'd finish 2nd on 82 points. The problem with that would be that we'd therefore qualify for champions league football, and I don't think we're quite ready for that yet, so thank goodness he left when he did.
I think it's a matter of thanking Potter for his great contribution at the start of the season, coupled with a measure of extreme sadness, irritation and annoyance at his decision to leave us so suddenly without apparent regard for the feelings of so many who had given him immense support; then as far as I am aware he had no compunction about filleting our great club of anyone who might further his career and the success of toxic Chelsea. It is possible to feel genuine gratitude and deep anger simultaneously; I do.
Too Infrequent use of his account I heard.
Pure White is Swanny in disguise and I claim my £5.
I thought the same, but I believe we wouldnt have finished 6th under Potter.
Hmm... I suppose you are technically right: it could mean that the first thing is better, but it doesn't necessarily have to. It's a bit like someone who says they have 2 cars when they have more than 2. They're not lying if they say they have 2, because they do, it's just that they also have others. If one says that Messi is the best player since Pelé, it might imply that Pelé was better, but it might just mean that there has been no one better than Messi since Pelé, without necessarily meaning that Pelé was better than Messi. The thing is, if you don't think that Pelé is better than Messi, then why are you mentioning him? Why not Peter Ward? Messi is the best player since Peter Ward. People say that such-and-such a thing is the best thing since sliced bread, which sounds to me like they think that sliced bread is better than whatever this new thing is. Perhaps I am overthinking this..
Absolutely knew a month after working with Chelsea’s squad
And, for the benefit of doubt, I mean literally.
Noddy Holder tells a good story about that.
To be fair he had wads of cash anyway. Money is all relative when a millionaire
I suspect he thought it was his coaching that was getting us our results rather than the players. He would be wrong if that was his thinking.
The best example being March under Potter and under RDZ.
