The Mail Bag

Has anyone else noticed...

Has anyone else noticed that the bottom seven teams in the Premier League are ? yes ? the seven teams we have beaten?

In other words we haven?t beaten anyone out of the bottom seven. Don?t look at our record against the rest, it will spoil your weekend. And next up is ? yes ? eighth from bottom Fulham, so this unique statistic should be extended next week (COYB!).

There are two ways of looking at this ? efficiency in dealing with the poor sides is the cup half-full. The cup half-empty is that we haven?t beaten any of the sides that have got something about them. We will need to beat some of these teams soon to sustain the challenge for Europe. Our quality and pace may be too much for the lower teams, but the better teams have all got this and usually more strength. So, for me, biggest target for the transfer window is a midfielder with more physical power than we have now. Someone like Essien? Yeah, ok, he?ll do.

Also we need to think more positively against these teams. I really hope we go to West Ham with a winning mindset rather than ?a point is a good result?.

Thats correct but would you at the start of the season expected Spurs, Bolton and even Boro to be in the positions they are in? Get a grip of yourself and stop looking for things to moan about.

And we’ve got a point away from home at Portsmouth and Chelsea and were robbed when we played the Red Shi*e. Forgive me but are they not all ABOVE us in the table?
