[Albion] Reasons To Be Cheerful - Sort Of!

[Lady Whistledown]

I feel like a few people are forgetting how badly we ended last season. De Zerbi brought us some of the most fun times ever, but the last three months or so were dismal.

We were so bad by that stage of the season, we lost at home to Manchester United. Let that sink in.

Yes, yes
Dear, dear
Perhaps next year
Or maybe even never
In which..... Case

The PBOBE / TB declared aim is a regular top ten place. PBOBE's here until 2030 probably/at least. I'm happy and cheerful that there is steady progress towards that target within the timescale he's committed to. And along the way there have been great moments as summarised by @chaileyjem et al so not bad really. If that or better can be achieved alongside a bit of Europe and some major travel improvements (sorry couldn't resist) then plenty of reasons to be cheerful.

Like I say, we know what we're watching, while we're watching it. Same as we always did. And for large chunks of the season it's been pretty insipid, even if the stats suggest it's been pretty wonderful. Fact check: it hasn't been all that, however much you spin it with stats

Hey, I'm agreeing with you, its pretty average. I also think where we're finishing is pretty deserved, some good performances, some downright bad ones. And 10th in the league, and our second highest points total ever, is exactly what this average up-and-down season gets you. We know what we're watching, and we have to recalibrate, this is better than any other season in our history other than the Potter/RDZ hybrid year, and its felt fairly average. So I am certainly looking forward to an above-average season next year (or maybe another new average )

We did not throw the points away, the penalty came from a non foul free kick. Ref had a massive influence on the result yesterday

I have been quick, possibly too quick, to jump on our f*** ups this season. I have no complaints about Fab or the team yesterday. Newcastle deserved at least a point all things considered imo.

Are you forgetting like Ayari it’s football and not basketball
