[Football] Please... someone tell me we aren't 8th

[Frutos]

Guaranteed to be 9th at worst after this weekend, I know it's early days but this really is bloody fantastic.

Perhaps someone can help though, I looked at the top half of the table and couldn't see Palace, but I thought we were told they were guaranteed to be pushing for europe this season? Am I looking at the wrong table or something?

 

[Hillian1]

At worst 9th. My realism has been knocked up a couple of notches by the shite we are playing. We are one level above that shite.

I'm really trying to keep my feet on the ground, it just seems, apart from City, we really haven't played anyone good yet.

You are a good man you are doing the right thing, I am getting excited.

Arsenal and Everton were a pre season top 6 bet

 

[Buzzer]

I heard on the radio before the match that we were chasing only our 2nd ever consecutive away wins in the top flight. We seem to b breaking Albion records every game at the moment.

Watford and Southampton were both rated before the games. West Brom were near the top with form of WWD, Newcastle WWW.

But, we expected to lose nearly all away games, we've lost 3out of 6, and, we've won 2 . Better than I thought we would be.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Enjoy the ride, I am.

 

[Withdean Chappy]

Can you believe after 11 games we are closer to the top than the bottom?

What happened? Why are we there? We are plucky little Brighton that no-one should lose to. What the hell is going on?

We are fortunate that we have not played too many top sides yet so the points in hand will be useful when we do

But does it not show we can handle ourselves against the other 14?

 

[Hillian1]

Yes, yes it does.


But after a few maulings where will our players heads be.

you sure palace in the same division as us, cus i cant see them either

 

[seagulls4ever]

Not trawling through the thread, but until all teams have played the same games it really isn't relevant.

It is quite relevant though isn't it? Given the only team that can overtake us by the end of the weekend is Watford.

 

[sams dad]

Yes, yes it does.

Why are you so sure that we will get "a few mailings"?

 

[Weststander]

:

Yes, yes it does.

[Sussex Nomad]

Today, I have to say, listening and watching us on a stream, Stephens wasn't in the game, Gross had an off day too. But I do believe we have a mentality in this squad that won't give a game away.

I don't think he's fishing, he's being a little more realistic than many. I just think he's wrong.

 

[oldboyroy]

I remember we were 6th at about half way point when Mike Bailey was in charge

 

[Weststander]

I don't think he's fishing, he's being a little more realistic than many. I just think he's wrong.

What are you and many others being unrealistic about?

 

[oldboyroy]

we play some nice football too at times knock it about well and can match 14 teams in this league...so far we're the 8th best team in the country I think that's pretty good going
