Why are we so good against the top teams this season

[marshall]

When was the last time this happened



Is it down to simply how we play or maybe our players do have something about them and can reach that level

[eastie]

Possibly because it suits our style of play and we can counter attack against them - we have problems against teams who sit back and defend against us in breaking them down - would love to see us turn utd over at old Trafford in a fortnight

[Concrete John]

It is a strange one, but then the mark of a mid table side is inconsistency, which we've got down to an art form this season.

Probably a mix of our away style suiting playing them, even if we're at home, and a bit of co-incidence/luck.

Another table where we are above United.  Mwah hah hah

[Richard E]

Bad news for Norwich bearing in mind their run-in

[Toronto Villa]

Look at Tottenham the overrated bottling pansies

[ADVILLAFAN]

We are top of the league, I say we are top of the league.

I still cant get over our result against Man United though. I hate losing to them at VP, I hate losing to them when 9 or so other times have beaten them so comfortably and yet we got spanked. Hopefully in 2 weeks we can put it right.

[Tom_Mc9?]

It's because they can't deal with our sexy football.

given how bollocks they've been we really mailed that one in. That result is by far the worst this season as I see it because they were very much there for the taking and we gave them 3 points without putting up any fight whatsoever. Had we played 75% of what we did against Chelsea vs Man U, we'd have easily taken the points that day.

I think there's a bit of our "not expecting to win against them" mentality, so perhaps without the pressure of expectation the players feel more inclined to try things they wouldn't normally.
Also conversely, the opposition see us struggling at Sunderland etc and presume it'll be a laugh.

Because we are Ace

Very spooky, was just about to write the exact same thing.

TBF we actually played quite well for the 15 mins of the match, however, we then made probably our two worst defensive blunders this season in the space of 3 mins that knocked the stuffing out of us for the first half and then made one more before we could settle into the second half and try to fight back. Then we stopped playing.

would like to see a table for the bottom teams though
