I know what you have said. Im struggling to understand how you can come to this conclusion when we are on course for our most successful premier league finish in history.


that's opinion not fact - your home form suggests otherwise


Its a fact.

10 points after 8 games.

10 divided by 8 = 1.25
1.25 X 38 = 47.5

Our biggest tally so far is 47.

Its opinion that two wins against Palace and Sunderland extrapolate to a "most successful season in history"... :lol:

Yet, if you apply the same theory to Cardiff's tally, we will be safe from relegation - yet you've predicted us to go down...

So which is it to be?

And a win against WBA and a draw against Liverpool. That is a 5th of our season. And as an 8 game block, the hardest we will face all season. We should be below the rate in reality with the natural progression to pick up more in the easier blocks of 8 games. The fact we are bang on course for a record season can only be a positive.

There is no reason in the world to think we are struggling. 11th, averaging 1.25 points a game, top of european group with a nice run of games coming up. It beggars belief it really does.

No you wont be, you will have 38 points which as ive always maintained and you have quoted me on "is relegation form".

Yes we will be, because if you applied your theory to every team in the premiership, we would remain in the position we are in now & therefore be safe.

So what is it to be? Is your theory not that accurate, or are we on course to be safe?

My theory factored in how we have faced our hardest block of 8 fixtures, meaning the minimum we should get is the points predicted.

You haven't faced your hardest 8, that comes in january, so judging the season ahead based on one of the easiest block of 8 games you will face is not going to be very accurate.

Therein lies the problem. You call it a "hardest block" but you had Palace, Sunderland and WBA wins....are you saying that beating WBA away is the indicator of this amazing season coming up?

Think about it pleb.

We have played 8 games....4 of them have been against the top 6....one against man united in 8th.... We have won all the rest :thumbup:

If you think that is struggling then i hope the ropes are well hidden in your household :lol:

One of your easiest.

In a block of 8 coming uo you have Man United, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Southampton, Liverpool thats probably 6 of the top 7. :thumbup:

We have only lost this season to teams in the top 6 (plus man utd who i assume will finish there). We have win the rest including a draw to 3rd place liverpool. Thats a pretty good indicator yes.

Yes it will. Our hardest block isnt in january, its already been. We have played Man United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal and Southampton.

Are we really doing the repeat merry go round again.

You have Man City, Arsenal, Man United, Liverpool, Southampton.

You cannot use an inferior block of 8 to predict end results as they will probably be negatively affected by the harder block. Hence why once you have had your hardest block you can then make realistic minimum predictions as in theory that should be your lowest yield.

Re: ' Next five fixtures '

Sun Oct 20, 2013 5:13 pm

Are we really going around in circles again? You can't apply your theory to one team & then completely be against its use for another. Just shows what a flawed theory it is...

This is my last post on the matter... You claim it's your hardest run, and one of our easiest runs, despite playing teams of similar calibre.

it seems we are then :roll: god polo was right this is snore inducing. Right, we have been through this Barry havent we. One team has played their hardest block thus being able to make minimum end of season predictions as it is fair to say you are more likely to pick up the least points in your hardest block thus giving us a minimum points estimate.

The other team is yet to play their hardest block, so any predictions made cannot realistically be labelled as minimum point estimate, as it will probably be negatively distorted by the hard group of future games.


This is my last post on the matter... You claim it's your hardest run, and one of our easiest runs, despite playing teams of similar calibre.

We have played 5 teams who will be in the top 6 in my opinion. You have played 3 of them. In january you have a block of 6 of them. It really isnt difficult.

WBA, when they were struggling, Palace and Sunderland, what a fecking tool he is, those are the easiiest games that we are looking forward too. It is true they have had some hard games, and lost almost all, but they have had some very easy games too.....

Realistically I would say we are doing just as well as Swansea and should finish in a similar position, dependant on injuries and the current problem between Malky and Tan settling down.....

Yeah because 3 weeks makes all the difference :lol:

This is the premier league sunshine. Not everyone is top 6 material and those that arent need to be put away if possible. We have done it every single time home and away, you have failed against West Ham and Newcastle and only succeeded against Fulham.

In November and December we have some easier games also.....
Norwich
Swansea
Villa
Stoke
Palace
WBA
Sunderland
And Southampton

Pently of points there, I can assure you, and three of the teams you were able to pick up points against :thumbup:
Don't worry about us worry about your own problems and injuries as Europa crap starts to take it's toll with more injuries :thumbup:

Yep that is your easiest block. Im not sure what your point is however.

If we had some problems i could worry but we are currently 11th, top of our European group and on course for a record point haul. :thumbup:
