The excuses for our probable capitulation against Swansea are coming out already

[nsno-chris]

We are the best Promoted side in the PL era at least

Errrr no. Reading played far better under Steve Coppell, Ipswich under George Burley where very good team and Blackpool last year played far more attacking football than yourself, mainly because Ian Holloway is mentally unstable.

Accept it, youre not a big team and never will be unless you get MAJOR investment, youre players are run of the mill championship players. If Scott Sinclair was that good would Chelsea have let him go?? Would he need to drop a division if he was such a talent, of course not other PL teams would have snapped him up, the fact he looks good at you lot is because he his more technically gifted than the rest of your team, but on par with most PL players

 

[BrianSwan]

Only one which could be argued is Ipswich but the PL was even weaker then than it is now.

The rest you got to be joking.

 

[Groucho]

If Swansea are so good why aren't they top 4?

 

[Dublintoff]

Every dog has his day.

Give them there 15 mins of fame, because thats all it will be.
By the way, ipswich were the best promoted side of the PL era. Under George Burley they came up and were in the european places all season and finished there.

Reading where a very good side, and i'm not talking about fluid passing, i'm talking as unit and i liked them. And Blackpool last year where a breath of fresh air, its the first time in a while a club came up and said '[Poor language removed] it, lets just have a go and see what happens' and they got a lot plaudits.

You've got to remember i've seen teams up and down for 28 years, you're no different than most fans

 

[BrianSwan]

Because we don't have 100M to spend on players, we'll get up there eventually.

 

[Dublintoff]

How late was i with that post, ha, ha

Neither did we, but we managed it

When you don't touch the ball for 90 minutes you'll see why I talk to highly of my team and why we are leaps and bounds above those on that list.

I've seen them play too on Sky, that Ipswich and Reading team was really impressive but nothing on us.

It's a kopite on a wind up. Playing us at our own game. Least he has some humour unlike the multitude of the RAWKers.

I loook forward to seeing your possesion being a 100%, maybe Lord Lucan will score the winner. You talk highly because its first season wonder, when I refer to the other teams i'm talking about exactly the same thing, its all new and other teams don't know how to play them, it always last a season and then BOOM, the balloon bursts.

I've never denied Swansea play good football, you didn't at Goodison like. And i saw them teams in the flesh, not on the T.V. so i got see how they set up, defended and attacked so I have more of an input than you my dear friend and thats why i can safely say 'I'VE SEEN BETTER'

Are kopites this delusional?

 

[chris_b]

After Blackburn got promoted - they finished 4th then 2nd then 1st - im guessing they were better! - that is counting points not completed pass% which gets you nothing in the league table!

Newcastle Utd got promoted - then finished 3rd, 6th, 2nd, 2nd - they were certainly much better - and entertaining to watch

Nope and that **** wont finish above us either.

Nope and that **** wont finish above us either.

What happens when we win today mate? Just hypothetically.
