. Don't see that his comment was anything outrageous though.

No, just wrong.

What was Neil's effort?

Double our away record and we'd be 8th, double our away record AND add in the abysmal home form and we'd be 3rd on 65 points! The ace away form is a myth, and certainly not Champions League form!
Gone by Sunday morning!

This is basically what I tried to convey but I suck hugely at maths.

I've no doubt Bobby will have support among some of the squad. Geri's english coming on a treat too.

Not real good at maths myself, but just realised as well that in four games so far this season against the promoted teams (Watford, Bournemouth and Norwich) we have taken the grand total of four points!
Please someone end this misery!

Nope. Just addressing a comment made about our AWAY form.

Overall, we've not been good enough though. Not gonna argue that point, and the away form should not deflect from the criticism. Don't see that his comment was anything outrageous though.

I'll shut up now. Sick of repeating myself....

I'll disregard the fact our away form is average at best and the fact he's happy with it. Sadly for that whole argument there is no "away league table", as it is all in one, combined, and we are average away and absolute turd at home.

Man chats bubbles, always has been, it's just painfully obvious here and now.

Also can't help but find it funny - first it was the Entertainers, then we were building for the future, then 72 points, now it's away form. Unless we win against United - I can't see there even being a next thing.

Good.

The comment about away form is "outrageous" because it's a lie.

@The Esk or @Woolly Blue

is it possible to see how the poll has changed over time?

why double away form?

mkrudden asked a couple of pages earlier where we would be in the league if we doubled our away form! It's still not great - hardly Champions League form as Roberto would have us believe!

 

[willo30]

so double the away, 48 points. Currently 17 points at home. So we'd be on 65points. Which would put us 3rd.

edited because I am just [Poor language removed] awful at math...

No we'd still be where we are because you couldn't just double ours without doubling everyone elses. That would be just manipulating the figures.

How about just leave the away form as it is and do better at home.

 

[bluewally]

why double away form?

I think he means if we had the same home and away points

Win at the pit and I'm pretty sure we'll have the 3rd or 4th best away form in the league.

I'm not using the away form as a means of defending him... How many times do I have to say "IT'S NOT BEEN GOOD ENOUGH"

But you carry on believing that I'm defending his results, rather than just saying he made a fairly accurate comment.
