That's why I posted at that time, on page 1, that we'll be nowhere near the bottom. Well said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team is dropping points. If we finish behind a team it’s not down to one individual moment or one result. We will finish where we deserve to finish after 38 games. At present we are 3rd and only 4 points from the top of the league and 3 points from 9th which suggests we are about as consistent as every other team in the top half. Add to this we still haven’t had our full strength team out this season. We have also played 23 games this season, not counting the international games we have played. That is 8 games more than Aston Villa, 5 more than Everton and Southampton. We need to rotate a bit more but have been limited by who can come in. All in all we’re doing pretty well I think. This is excellent post and gives a proper perspective. You do write some very good insightful post. 🤙 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 31 December 2020 Share Posted 31 December 2020 Teams will drop points. It sounds obvious but people speak as if other teams around us are gonna win every game while we draw. People always react like that on here but thankfully league systems don't work like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 31 December 2020 Share Posted 31 December 2020 I think people's main complaint about the dropped points is that we've barely been close to getting anything out of the defeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue against that with Villa and Fulham. It took a bloody good strike from Barkley to lose a game neither team looked like winning. Fulham we should've been 1 up prior to them scoring 2. But fully agree with West Ham and Liverpool. Everton I'm still unsure on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton I'm still unsure on. Aston Villa possibly. Fulham I thought we were terrible from about 20 minutes onwards and 2-1 flattered us, we were that bad. Did we look like coming back against Everton? Not really. I think the last defeat we can say we were unlucky in was Man City at home last season.

Seen plenty offer their opinion in a balanced way but if it doesn't fit the narrative of the 'rational members of FT' then it's dismissed as doom mongering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambles Posted 31 December 2020 Share Posted 31 December 2020 https://global247news.com/2020/12/31/kyle-walkers-christmas-party-in-london-causes-premier-league-covid-infections/amp/ Football fans across the world are furious at reports that Manchester City’s star defender has brought about the spreading of Coronavirus throughout the Premier League. It’s being reported that Walker held a Christmas party in London despite the region being in Tier 4. Attended by several star premiership players the party has caused many New Year matches to be canceled as well as causing at least 11 infections through the Manchester City squad. Premier League fans have been left very disappointed at the cancellations as the majority in the UK are now advised to say at home due to lockdown regulations. To say they are least pleased with Kyle Walker is an understatement with many calling for a full FA and Premier league investigation into the reports. The news was broken from Spain by football correspondent Adam Brown who presents warts and all football show known as ‘ football with brownie’ Brown himself calling for the star to be dropped from international football if an investigation rules the behavior of Walker proves to be founded. It’s understood that England’s football authorities are set to investigate in the New Year, whilst Manchester City themselves are attempting to keep a lid on matters, although Everton’s board of directors have also lodged a complaint.
