No, I wish I had thought of it though!��

We're not very good, Fulham are better......

The poor lad. Starts off stating how good they are and that his only concern is not being able to take penalties.
Then in a roundabout way he lists about 6 other negatives about his club
1. Need to get their act together
2. Need to cut out the silly stuff
3 Need to learn to be not too predictable
4 Yap Stam worked out what to do and nullified them
5. Doesn't even want to mention Chris Martin
6. The players are still learning the Manager's system
The poor little chap. He just listed himself why they are not better than the others - Bless him........I am guessing he is 12 - 16 years old but I am watching this space because, he got one thing right. The players don't understand the Manager's system and getting some new ones in might solve that
To be honest, we're all guilty of placing too much emphasis on the odd game - ie, we thought Villa were good because they played well against us, we thought the same about Fulham for the same reason. Any Fulham fan that watched our two games must feel they've been unlucky.

Tis true but we haven't played well since the Norwich game, so Villa, Fulham and others have probably looked better than they really are..

It might have been worth pointing out that the Club did, in fact, spend a considerable sum on lengthening and widening the platforms at Falmer station.Birdie Boy said:
What stops the option of extending things further to accommodate twelve coach trains is that this would require a complete re-build of Lewes station, at a cost of millions of pounds. To say nothing of the need to match the work with extensions to Moulsecoomb and London Road stations, where the land simply isn't available.
Yes this is very well put. It's like watching reality television, you feel a bit less of a person afterwards.
To be fair they did outplay us both games. But we won both of them so that's what it's all about. All this we're better than them stuff is bollocks in the end. If you're as consistent in results as we have been then that isn't luck.

It's the mentality of fans from teams who've been in the premier league. They cannot fathom that other teams can be better than them; it's impossible to understand why, Brighton - a team who hasn't played in the top flight since 1983 could possibly be a team on the verge of promotion all the whilst ex-prem teams aren't in the mix.

I'm not singling anyone out but I can pretty much guarantee this will reach double figure pages with many comments along the lines of "what do THEY know". There is more than a little butthurt going around from our quarters.

It's a phrase that gets to me too.
And I think that's why others like to use it. Fully aware it isn't true. It tends to get a reaction.

Yeah. I'm no so much on the obvious trolls but quite few conversations I've had with opposition fans this season that have innocently headed that way. Even some of the pundits and press talk veers quite close to it from time to time.
It's the difference between religiously following a club and being an interested observer I guess.

Thing they don't realise is we actually had to play outstandingly to get into the position in the first place. Falling short was mearly a by product of getting it spot on for so long.
To have 3 teams maintain the standard after that last international break was insane. I think your right though. You probably had to live through it to appreciate it.

There was a bloke in the pub the other day telling me that we'd stuffed it up last year. I'd had exactly the same conversation with him about 2 weeks ago too! He's a Liverpool fan I think.
I work with a Newcastle fan who recently told me he was surprised we were challenging and he'd been expecting Norwich and Weds to be their rivals.
It shows you that many fans have little idea of what's going on outside of their club/league- the ones that think they know are the most annoying.

True, I did not expect Huddersfield, Reading and Barnsley to be up there this season
