We are back at the top table.....?!

[Charles Hawtrey]

Now we need to act like we deserve to be in the mix with them clubs. A lot of games vs. them coming up, time to make our mark.

yes unfortunately football is about football and not a beauty contest. Would rather still be in the League cup than in a Sky graphic (channeling my inner Davek)

Agree entirely here mate.
However it’s nice that we have a place in that graphic and I suspect that Sky are taking note of the fact that our football is starting to look attractive and fast again. A world away from the dull, plodding, negative rubbish served up by the previous incumbents of the manager’s office.

I think we are on it because Everton's games are on Sky tv seven times in November and December.

 

[Groucho]

Does this represent an actual effort by sky to promote us again? Perhaps our viewing figures for televised games are up and they are taking notice, that and the fact we have 2 Brazilians and a load of Barca players.

Wasn't so long ago, we would be 5th or even 4th and they would ignore us and include the 5th/6th placed club instead.

We will see I guess.

Either that or they think Marco Silva is relatively young and sexy and worth a tv spot.

Yep, one or the other

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Silva has been our first manager since Martinez to actually fit on the graphic.

I have just nearly choked on my biscuit laughing at this

We've been at the top table for 126 years now.

 

[Eggs]

...19 points after 12 games is encouraging.

We had 12 points at this stage last season. Interestingly, the Reds had 22 points and finished in a Champions League spot.

 

[anton66]

We'll still be last on MOTD.

 

[Ameen]

We hit the big time lads

 

[Yarrgh]

If you need a manager who crosses his arms for a graphic you're knocking out, Marco is your go to guy.

 

[FC sexy xxx]

Bout time they binned off the FSW.

FC Sexy is back.

Hello

 

[Caolam]

Glory Glory days !

Allardyce queuing up at a kebab shop is the only manager with arms crossed graphic you'll ever need

 

[Igrok]

Need to protest..we should be above these scums...

 

[brieverton]

I wouldn't read anything into this, we got inclusion on one of their graphics alongside the big six, is that it?

I couldn't discern any change in tack from Sky towards us yesterday, for good or bad, compared with the norm.

Jorginhos "challenge" was appalling to most neutral observers, I do recall Souness saying he could have walked for it, but only in the context of saying Mina could have been sent off also.

Too much is being made of it, I very much doubt Sky Sports have made some strategic decision that there is now a big seven.

Let's do our talking on the pitch, if we become good enough, we'll be included in their cabal then.
