For example...Who would have predicted Stoke to beat West Brom away last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnsley only lost 1 game in 8 before coming to Ashton Gate, including a draw with west brom, beating millwall away and beating QPR. A great win.

Not sure that table does anyone any favours. No game is easy. You've only got to look at the form of Reading, Boro, Stoke and Derby who have all struggled this season. Anyone can beat anyone.

Yes, and while it's true that the 3 sides we've beaten recently are at the bottom of the table, those are exactly the type of games that we've slipped up in in recent seasons too, especially at home.

If there are no easy games, then every game must be equally challenging? A nonsense, sir! 28 minutes ago, Northern Red said: Yes, and while it's true that the 3 sides we've beaten recently are at the bottom of the table, those are exactly the type of games that we've slipped up in in recent seasons too, especially at home. True, but Luton at home, if that wasn't easy like Sunday morning, then what is? They left their gloves in Luton, never mind laying one on us. It's too easy to say: there are no easy games. I don't suppose Preston found us anything other than easy when beating us 5 nil (ie, some teams beat themselves, with one bad apple undermining the whole team; and some are beaten before they get off the coach, etc). Burnley at their place, 0:4, that was men v boys. Remember, one definition of "easy" is: presenting few difficulties. Think of "easy" like this, and it is not impossible to recall occasions when City have been very easy and comfortable fodder for other sides in this division. Is it not better to say there are very few easy games? Or, better still: some games (Luton at home) are easier than other games (West Brom away), but you only can know this for certain in hindsight.

Yeah I realised after I posted that, I was thinking about a televised game I had seen of theirs before they played us. It was their forum after the gane where they were saying they thought he had got himself sent off deliberately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
