Ring any bells lately?

Doubt there are many campanologists on here.

Yup. Some people seem deluded into thinking we have a divine right to reach the Premiership and that being a Championship side is "not good enough".

*cheeky*

Not forgetting those happy-clappy cheer-leading gimps who have spent 3 years telling us CMS is a top class striker, if only he'd get some SERVICE.

It's a tad fortunate (and feckin criminal) that in all that time, we still haven't played in a fashion to prove me wrong. :facepalm:

Some. Very few. Our leader does tell us we have a play off squad though so who could blame them?

Thanks. There we have it - DELUSION in action.

FFS. How many other top class striker's do you know of with the first touch of a blind rapist or with a total inability to prevent an awkward bouncing ball from rolling over his shoulder? Alternatively, what about the fact CMS is our record signing with a wage to match - I think I reasonably might expect more than constant whinging about not enough through balls being put onto his toe as the reason for him scoring little more than a handful every season, and being about 10% as effective as Glen Murray has been over the course of the last 3.5 years.

I don't think it's very few. Plenty seem to think things are "not good enough" at the moment when - in fact - things have rarely been better in the history of the Albion.

The starting base for that statement is spectacularly low. Are people delusional for expecting the most expensive squad wage wise in our history to be competing in this division when our leader says the players are play off capable?

Is that the same Glenn Murray regularly vilified for no effort, in seasons that weren't ones ending in a contract negotiation.
But has now gone into folklore as some kind of stick to beat 'New' Brighton with.

There's not a lot wrong with CMS' first touch.
His second touch is iffy, made worse by the fact his third touch is woeful and embarrassing.

For me if Sami were to be sacked it should have come after the Bournemouth game.
The 2 goals we scored then were shameful.
The fact we had to wait till November for those two through balls (granted the second was more 'hopeful'), and we've not had one since, is beyond worrying.
We will not tuck away 2 goals with such ease all season, and yet no striker had the opportunity before or since.

As with CMS it's beginning to seem like the only way Baldock will score is if he can get on the end of one of his own crosses.

In his defence, he runs around a lot looking busy, seems to be a nice bloke and can make a Dolmio tuna pasta bake, as he demonstrated on Latest TV... CMS - we salute you sir!

Could become a new Albion song, to the tune of 'Delilah' :moo:
