23 points above, nearly the equivalent of 8 unexpected wins. When do we wake and realise this was just a dream?
Prior to the Emirates April 2022, Albion PL wins were often a rarity.
These are the best of Albion times :albion2:
A cheats mini tournament, The St Johns Ambulence Cup, should ideally comprise:
ManUre
Fulham
Spuds
Villa
There would be little football. Just a constant stream of stretcher bearers.
30 points is the same as Stains and car crash Everton's points added together. We’re not at the season’s half way mark. 9 wins just one less than the bottom 3 combined, and equals our season’s total in each of our first 4 EPL seasons. 35 goals so far beats our season’s tally of 34 in 2017/18...
They came on a crest of wave, but we’re simply so much better in playing that same style of play.
A telling sign was that their ‘greatest supporters on the planet’ were largely quiet, going through an anxious hell suffering wave after wave of Albion attacks.
From pinnacle Albion, the 4-0 beating Manure team, excluding Biss and Cucu:
Sanchez - reserve goalie, so just warm weather training in Qatar anyway.
Veltman - rest.
Dunk - rest.
March - rest.
Caicedo - Qatar
Trossard - Qatar
Gross - rest
Mac Allister - on the fringes so far, assume Qatar...
The betting markets have us attaining 48 points and 11th place. I’d take that, especially if the 48 were accumulated with plenty of home wins.
With Fulham, Forest and Bmuff all dropping after just one season.
