OK here goes with the reality check.
I read the posts on this site every single day but don't write my own very often because anyone who dares to disagree with IRONMIKE seems to get trod on, however, I do appreciate and enjoy your posts IRONMIKE I just wish you were a bit more humble and accepting of other peoples opinions. so here is mine: we all think we are experst and know best, but we dont, that's why SB is the manager and not any of us, it is a well known fact that new signings can and often do take weeks or months to settle into a new club and a new country and produce their best form so give the new boys a chance eh. Yes we should have played with more pace and passion in the first half on Thursday night but let's get used to the idea that EVERY team that comes to our new home is going to have the same game plan, defend with nine or ten men behind the ball and hit us on the break, that is the reality for the rest of the season and beyond, we are a scalp now and we need to get used to it. It is really difficult to break down well organised teams who play that way no matter how good you think you are. GET USED TO IT GUYS. Personally I hate European football with all the playacting and crap refs so I am glad were out, but the whinging on this site is making us sound like gooners for christs sake. Come of fellas, get a grip, were only two games in.

ClothCap, what a voice of reason you are! I like you read this site everyday and relish the updates but feel everything you have said is bang on! Would love to see Bony in Claret and Sky though .

we have actually played 6 competetive games this year, not 2 and I really have to say how are we a scalp because we got to quater final of FA cup and finished 7th in the league? Accrington might see us s a major scalp but I dout any team in the premier league thinks of us in the same ilk as man u or chelski

we were never going to breakdown a team when at home playing with a defensive midfielder as you point out teams like that come to defend so our formation was wrong in my eyes.

Cloth Cap, your being very hard on me! Everybody on this site has an opinion which I always respect BUT I don't have to agree with, and they don't have to agree with. me I'm not always right NOBODY is principally because football changes so fast, it's difficult to pin things sometimes, when you get there it's moved on i'm Sure you get the picture, regards IRONMIKE.

I believe the posters point has just been proved.
