Turkish Posted 23 February, 2013 Share Posted 23 February, 2013 The Top of League 1 looks tasty. 2 points seperate the Top 6 and 7th place brentford have 2 games in hand so it could be the Top 7!!!! The race for bottom place is hotting up as Hartlepool go 4 ahead of The Skates LOL. Shouldn't it be four behind the skates in the race for bottom? Pompey do have an unfair advantage in having no players and almost certain to lose another 10 points in their L2 push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 23 February, 2013 Share Posted 23 February, 2013 Twitchy going to relegate his second team from the Premier League then, by the looks of things. He looks utterly deflated. Oh well.

shurlock Posted 23 February, 2013 Share Posted 23 February, 2013 12th in the table and one defeat in the last 6 in the league, not that horrible, far from it infact. We've only take 2 more points in the same period and we are meant to now be world beaters. Before today - 1 win in 12 - lost 7, drawn 4, won 1. Over the last 6, they were bottom of the form table.

John Boy Saint Posted 23 February, 2013 Share Posted 23 February, 2013 Living near the "border" town of Basingstoke it was amusing to see swathes of empty blue seats at Reading over Kamaras shoulder with 10 minutes still to play, methinks there will be a drop off of hooped shirts in town for the rest of the weekend: sadly only to be replaced with Chelsea blue.

They had a very good run until Xmas and then hit a wall. Over 2 months without a win is hardly amazing form - some Norwich mates were fearing the worse after the spanking by Liverpool and getting dumped out of the cup by Luton. Lets not lose the woods through the trees. However you slice and dice the form guide, to suggest -as DD did- that their result against Everton was largely irrelevant to the relegation mix is nonsense. They're not favs to go down -I like them as a club- but they're a team we can catch and put a buffer between us and the drop zone.

However you slice and dice the form guide, to suggest that their result against Everton was largely irrelevant -and not fighting against relegation- is nonsense. Who said it was irrelevant? Everyone from about 11 down is in danger of being sucked in. A good win and they are now only a couple of wins away from certain safety. All teams in the bottom half will have periods where they dont win for a while, thats why they are in the bottom half, you dont win one, draw one lose one in those order all season and we can all pick random amounts of games to 'prove' they are or aren't in good form.

Dr Who? Posted 23 February, 2013 Share Posted 23 February, 2013 The premier league has some very poor teams in it, and I would say that we are better than the teams in the bottom half, but that is when we are on top of our game. It was only 135 minutes of football a go, that I was stood at the DW Stadium, thinking that we looked like a team that were very much in a relegation fight. 45 minutes later, I thought we looked like a top 6 side, and could not believe we did not win the game. When we have the wind in our sails we look fantastic, but we have looked terrible at other times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that our goals V City are put down to us pressing the opposition high up the pitch and "forcing the errors", yet whenever we make mistakes it is solely our own fault and never down to them "forcing the error"...not a dig at you, just a general observation.

melmacian_saint Posted 24 February, 2013 Share Posted 24 February, 2013 Surprising how bipolar this forum can be, and just how unrealistic fans are sometimes. A win that most of us will remember for a while is no good justification for us dissing the standard of the Premier League by calling other teams (some of which have taken points away from us this season) very poor, and certainly not to diss a team who had a similar form to us at a certain stage this season. Fair point about Adkins- we all loved him, but seems that general fan expectations of his performance in the PL were quite low anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 24 February, 2013 Share Posted 24 February, 2013 QPR are surely down. Anyone hear the caller on TalkSport last night, saying they could easily win their next five games. The caller then got reminded they've won two games all season. Caller went on to say well they could at least get 9 points from those games. That still won't be good enough egghead. Deluded. Weirdly I met an attractive 19 year old QPR fan in Windsor last night. I didn't mention relegation once... (For the record I'm happily married and was a good boy.)
