Brentford have only lost 5 league games all season they’re bloody hard to beat !!!
3-3 at the end of the day is not a bad result at all we are 6th!!!!

Yes. We don't have good wins. Fulham did when they beat us. Everton did when they beat Arsenal. Bournemouth did today when they beat Fulham. I can't think of a really 'good win' we've had in five seasons, and no one has pointed one out yet
You can’t think of a good win in the past 5 seasons, which have been the best in our history. Bloody hell.

Yet another important game we fail to win. Really struggling to think of a single Premier League victory that can be classed as a 'good win'. Sure, we can beat a load of midtable cloggers, we can beat relegation fodder, we can beat big 6 teams when they're off form and having a mini crisis. But put us up against a team we're fighting for league position with, we don't win. Put us up against a team that's won 5 in a row, or a big 6 team playing well, we don't win. Maybe if the stadium is empty during covid we can win at Anfield, or if City get a man sent off we can beat them. But challenge Fulham or Brentford for a European spot, 1 point out of 12. Sure they score with basically each chance they have, and we take a thousand chances to score less, but we don't win. Somebody show me a 'good win we've had, please? Because I'm getting very fed up about it.
I guess disappointment comes in all forms ...
But we've really only been this good since last September.
I recommend you take a course in expectation management.
I am just so over the moon that we are as competitive as we are and we have the tools to perform as we currently do.
Takes big balls to come from behind THREE times - ooh, err!

West Ham last day of last season. They could have finished 6th with results going their way, we could have finished as low as 13th. Winning meant we didn’t need to worry about other results and West Ham couldn’t finish 6th.

How about Man Utd first season to guarantee staying up?

Arsenal at home first game back after Covid break to start off a decent end of season?

Sometimes you get games where you are never going to win. The footballing Gods were against us today
Plus the fact our defence went missing.
But 33 shots. - on another day we get 7 and we thrash them.
You know what - that was two points lost but a point gained in the end.
No need for histrionics!

What a bizarre, depressive thread!
I just want a good win. I want Brentford or Fulham to come here in a European six-pointer and to beat them, but we don't. Under Hughton I wanted to face up to Cardiff or Bournemouth in a relegation six-pointer and beat them, but we didn't. I want top of the table Arsenal, Liverpool or City to come here and get beat, that ain't easy, but it ain't happened.

It is a reasonable point tbf. Probably the last time we did it was west ham last game of last season as someone else has said.

'Streetwise' team did a number on us- I'm bloody relieved we got a point tbh as it looked like there was no way through. Point gained on Fulham and United or Newcastle will drop points tomorrow- it's not all bad. And we did play well today.

Having said that, conceding three at home and in the manner we did is disappointing...
