rfc2001 Being under the radar really oxf*rd angers me. West Sham and Ricky Lambert are no better than us. What also pisses me off it that everyone thinks we are the form team. Apart from the first 6 games we are top of the league! That's not form that is just being the best team in the league and that's after Brian 'God' McDermott had to rebuild. "Again"

Mr Angry Why have you felt the need to post the same stats on this thread that you post on your stats thread?

royalexileIan Royal In fairness to West Ham fans, our 8 game winning streak only really included Middlesbrough as a top team in the division. Althouh of course the previous run included West Ham and Leeds. Though I'd guess they'd blame two red cards for their loss and discount it.
I couldn't care less about their bleeding heart back to the prem sob story.
Currently we are on a better run and the results speak for themselves. That's the rub Ian.
tough titty.

I never said any different and I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep over West Ham not getting promoted. I'd be fricking delighted. The point being though, that there is a certain amount of truth that our fantastic run was mainly against "lesser" sides. That doesn't mean it wasn't a fantastic run. And they can hardly get too happy about it given their inability to beat some fairly mediocre sides, but it's not an outlandish point to make when you're looking for a crumb of comfort.

Mr Angry What gets me is how everybody seems to think that we have just had the recent run of 9 wins out of the last 10; as has been pointed out a few times on this forum ( ) is that the run we are on is actually 29 or 30 games, not 10. Take the last 20 matches - 49 points from a possible 60. That isn't simply "form"; thats genuine consistency.

pea Despite our form even the Peterborough fans are predicting a Posh win or draw tomorrow whilst predicting losses against the likes of Southampton, West Ham and Leeds...

Mr Angry The argument that we have played "lesser" sides away so far is a red herring; Middlesboro and Leeds away aren't "lesser" sides, and neither are Derby, Watford or Ipswich.
If supporters of the 2 other teams up there with us want to convince themselves that we are where we are because of this reason, then let them; they might get a bit of a nasty surprise when we play them in the next few weeks!!

MmmMonsterMunch Reading KUMB earlier in the week & someone put our league position down to the fact we've only beaten crap teams...
Completely untrue given that out of the top 6 Blackpool are the only team that's beaten us & that was away from home. Even then we scored a goal that got disallowed for no reason.
We're joint top on games won now with Saints both @ 21. Joint 1st with regards to away wins with West Ham & 2nd best defence in the league. We completely deserve to be where we are.
Still....keep writing us off.
