When I did get off my arse to make a pot noodle, I was still confident, that I'd make a more relevant point than you. |And I'm not even that confident tbh

Nope, I compared us last night to a team who were better than us on the night. If we play them 10 times, we probably win 4 of them. Let's not pretend they're not slightly better than us. It happens. Let's not pretend that Madrid can't regularly lose against teams who are competing with them. One...

Oh, you're just being an utter bulb now. Would it be better if I just used the word 'regularly' as in at least more than every two seasons? I was trying to explain the vagaries of sport, and how sometimes a fairly evenl rival can just do you on any occassion. I'm starting to think you've...

But err, they do consinstently get knocked out. If you want to just draw it back to when the Champions League started, they've won it 9 times out of the 30 odd times it's been played. They've consistently been knocked out of that competition like many other great teams. I wasn't trying to...

Exactly. You seem to be confusing the fact that's it's harder to win these tightly fought contests consistently, than it is to lose them. History proves you wrong my friend. Great teams and sportspeople consistently lose one off matches. Man United won 2 Champions Leaguge's under Ferguson...

Err, the Cl/European cup has been taking place for 70 years now, they've won it 13 times, and been knocked out how many times? Do the maths, they're more often knocked out than they they're not.

No. we lost because they performed better than us. It's a regular occurence when evenly matched teams play each other. It's why Real Madrid consistently get knocked out of the CL even though they've won it 13 times. Fine margins.

I'm doing okay mate. I should probbly apologise to @bicycleheader and @Lanolin for a few posts that probably seemed erratic and out of character, but it is what is. I don't believe I was disreprectful in a way that went beyond what we disagreed on, but it was probably a nightmare trying to have...

Trippier's finished mate. A bit like the poster who used to be known as Moomin tbh. In other news. Leighton Baines is better than Myko. :coffee:

I've not been on here for about 2 months. Probably because last time I was on here I had a bit of a mental health crisis, and had my first drink binge in many a year (i'm a long term recovering alcoholic). I decided to call it it quits, because even one or two poorly worded drunken posts can...

Lol. I've got a strong opinion of him. So what's the expectation then? If we didn't expect Europe, then what exactly were we expecting? Mid-table mediocrity? Newsflash: Moyes supporter didn't expect Europe, so is therefore a bit sick of him because they admit they didn't expect Europe! LOL...

Maybe so mate, maybe so. It was a cheap shot in reply to an equally cheap shot. I'm up there with the best of them for getting carried away after a poor performance, but I like to think I can keep my feet on the ground. A point away is never to be sniffed at in this league, especially against...

Oh, so only the bad things are to do with the manager? Get in the bin x

Goodnight (yeah, it's only one word) Mr, err, Beatles song.

Err, no. We don't continue to be so. We're a much better team, under this manager than we were under the last one. And just for the record, I ws against sacking Dyche ;)
