I don't know whether this has been mentioned, but it seems odd to me that

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

our defence is continually slated by the critics and, indeed, by our own supporters, when a glance at a league table shows that we have conceded 35 goals in the league, the same as United and Chelsea and bettered only by City. Have we just been really lucky as our Keystone Cop-esque back four blunder around in clown suits? Are the opposition too busy pissing themselves at how bad we are to actually put the ball in our goal?

[Pat Vegas]

which leads to a problem imo.

As we were told if we fixed the defence we'd be all right.

It just shows letting van Persie go was a big error :cry: we'll never get the right balance if we keep flogging our players.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Also game of two halves and sick as a parrot.

I was pleased to note that you have entered into a state of union with your soulmate, f. Congratulations. Is there to be a wedding?

[Mc Gooner]

Too often we have conceded sloppy amateurish avoidable goals and that's what people remember and criticise us for :shrug:

:rabbitintheheadlights: :yikes:

[Classic Jorge]

Which, if you ask me, begs the question of how all of the other teams players are getting off scott free

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

loads of 'good' attacks. Shouldn't we get credit for those?

[Pat Vegas]

If of course we survive our little camping adventure. Though that is in a few months.

I shall send Mrs C to buy a new outfit, including hat.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Oh.

[Mc Gooner]

[Dorset Gooner]

We should have kept Van Persie :cry: :cry:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Why are you talking about van Persie? He used to play for us, he decided he wanted to move on, he did so. He's nothing to do with us. (I always told you he was a dirty Rotterdam chav anyway.)

[Dorset Gooner]

[Monty91]

bettered significantly only by Man Utd, the runaway champions?

This is despite selling our main goalscorer and replacing him with a player who many consider "not good enough".

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Surely all these people can't just be educationally subnormal?

[Monty91]

It's fúcked

[Classic Jorge]

[PSRB]

and we'd have been challenging....possibly

[Alexism - Atheoist]

As each goal we concede counts as 3 goals, hence the poor goal differential for our fast all out attack minded club.

But yeah, cut out the crazy stupid goals and we're freaking impenetrable.

[Pokster]

the 5 against Spurs had a lot to do with them doing a 'Spurs' and falling apart

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Perhaps the odd one here or there might have made a huge difference, of course.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Alexism - Atheoist]

in any my posts. Ever.

Can't speak for anyone else ofc. But then, they don't have the advantage of being me, don't they? We must always be aware of that, oh yes, we must.

[redgunamo]

I mean "Gerd Müller", we could've won the league, regardless of the regular slapstick comedy our backs provided.

Football is all about goalscorers, see.
