Media bias

[cheltenhamlion]

Both you and Ads are correct. I have nothing further to add.

But if we are so much bigger and better than them, then doesn't that explain why the likes of Swain are saying we're not doing well ?

We SHOULD be doing better than them

[cheltenhamlion]

Yes we should. And have for a fair chunk of our history. Lets see where the two teams end up come May.

There is little between the two teams - a month ago they were well below us - every chance that we will finish above them - Albion are small time and not worth worrying about - poxy shitty little club.

The way we talk, there SHOULD be something between us if we are so much bigger/better, a bloody big points gap for starters

Everyone has their five minutes of, relative, fame.

You mean like the four point gap between Southampton and little Manchester United?

Patience my friend , we will finish above them as we usually do - they are nobodies.

Maybe he is thinking short-term over the past few games when Olbiyun have looked decent at ManUre and against Arsenal whereas we've deflated after the Man City win.

You mean recent games like a 0-0 with Stoke and a 4-1 humping at Anfield?

Its because we don't know how to laugh at ourselves like those cheeky little boing boing Baggies. We don't have Jeff Astle, Adrian Chiles or Frank Skinner to carry our comedy flag.

And then they wonder why no one takes them seriously.

[Richard E]

Albion should not worry too much about laughing at themselves, I'm sure there are plenty of supporters of other teams who are more than willing to laugh at Albion if that helps.

Not quite the same thing but it does amuse me how blues fans mock our fall from grace when they've got worse problems of their own.

Blues fans will enjoy any agony we may suffer, but in my exprience I often find the midset of them as being something like:

"jammy Vilers, always land on their feet, come up smelling of roses" etc which feeds the hatred. It is after all a rivalry of the haves and the have nots. More so than any other club in the region, the Noses know exactly what they are, the Stripey Filth are a strange mixture of bitter and deluded.

The thing is though, the "depths" - ie position in the league - to which we have fallen in said fall from grace is the sort of achievement they'd be hiring open top buses and releasing commemorative DVDs for, were they to achieve it.
