I got laughed out the building on here when I said muff would overtake us this season....

Not really. You bend with the wind when it comes to your take on Bournemouth. This was you in November when nobody even commented:

Yes Bmuff are a very good side, and have recruited well, they may also have one of the best managers in the league. I thought they had overtaken us on the field last season and I was laughed at by many on here. After our spending spree in the summer I think we've edged past them again. But will be interesting to see who finishes above who.

[Albion] - Premier League table after 10 games

A lot of people say "you shouldn't bother looking at the table until we've played 10 games" or similar sentiment. We're now 10 games in. What do you think?

Good call, how wrong can you be?

Yes - sorry about that! Still - keeps Newcastle within reach.....

Christ, don't be such a handbag.

Look at the table - 6 points off 5th/6th with a game in hand. How the hell have we blown Europe with nearly half a season still to play?

Just being realistic we can’t play two decent halves of football in the league, we struggle to score more that twice in a game we have only achieved it twice this season.
And as I said our home form is poor.
It would take a huge turnaround to become consistent to keep up with teams above us.

As much as you get shouted down on here, your assessment above is correct. Our recent form has been shocking and all the teams above us seem to have a game plan. Not sure what are plan is under FH ..... and your right we haven't had a good 90 mins all season!
BUT you are not allowed to question the manager on here!!!

You are and people have done all season.

But...our very recent form has been fine, we've won our last 2 games and haven't lost this calendar year. It's also not really true to say we haven't had a good 90 minutes all season any more than anyone else because no team dominates for 90 minutes.

I remember when we played the sort of football that BMuff play...............I long way from the slow passing game we currently have to endure!

Glass half full sort of person?

I guess that is all opinion, i have only missed a couple of games all season and we have generally been poor at least for one half. Ipswich was a prime example, they were a very poor side and could have been 2 or 3 up at half time (we didn't have one shot in target in the first 45 mins) and we were dire. We slow the game down constantly. To be fair to FH he makes decent substitutions but this is mainly due to the starting XI not performing! IMO, with the squad we have (and taking into account injuries) we should be better on the eye and have turned several of the draws into wins!

Just being honest!

This goes both ways... There's plenty of times on here where positive comments about the manager/players get posted and it get jumped on by numerous posters saying 'you're wrong! he's terrible!'. You say he cant be criticised, but are negative views meant to go unchallenged?

I watched a team dominate for 90 minutes a couple of hours ago

Potter still not got the hang of dealing with Croydon then?

 

[pasty]

Boooooo. Palace 1 up

I'll give the manager credit when deserved and I do! The thing is, any question of the manager is jumped on - which is fine but, at the end of the day, everyone has an opinion and will post what they think (good or bad). The forum is all about having opinions, otherwise it wouldn't work.

Can Potter beat Palace for a change?

Potter out!

Absolutely correct. Its just been a very common theme on here recently that people will post an opinion, and then patronisingly complain about/mock any opposition to it. It goes both ways, both sides are valid.

Down to 10th

Once again Buonanotte brought on in a lost cause. How the shit is he picking the likes of Jordan Ayew ahead of him?!
