That Jan/Feb kind of reminded me of the Deano promotion season. We just kept drawing games and everyone thought it was all over. March begins and hold onto your hats!!

Time will tell us, what else will more games tell us. We were 17th in last 6 games current form after the Palace game. We weren't out of it but it was hardly some crazy negative thinking that we wouldn't do it at that time.

Despite the iffy run, points wise we wasn't far away at all. Even now we're 5th, people are still not convinced. Have a bit of faith in the boys, they've earned  it.

We've got a hellish run in, but you've got to play all the teams twice so it shows how poor we have been at times this year.  Others seem to be struggling. Our next 3 games will go a long way to deciding the issue.  PSG being, obviously, the biggest test, FC Saudi and Saudi FC...if we can take 4 points we'll have done very well.  oh, and, Come you Tractor Boys!!

Even that’s a bit negative, using only league games as a measure of our actual form.

So not crazy negative then. We got there in the end.

I don’t think we were ever not there. I can’t remember anyone saying crazy negative.

But shrinking a sample size and dismissing CL and FA Cup victories as not part of our form is, I dunno, unnecessarily negative if you’re after the exact word.

The flipside of that though if we do get positive results it does much more damage. Also those teams were playing are under pressure.

You keep replying to my posts about how it wasn't particularly negative to think we wouldn't do it after Palace. And as you weren't agreeing I made the assumption you were diagreeing.

Keep replying? I replied to one about that, and one pointing out that you had shrunk the sample size to make out we were worse than we actually were.

I haven’t replied to every post you’ve made, and furthermore you can’t massage those statistics in your desperate crusade to be always right.
