Putting This Season Into Perspective,(League)

Post by terrya1965 »

I am 56 years old and we have only ONCE had more points than this after 24 games in top flight.

That was in 1986.


Edit..Ibby put me right,it`s twice..43 pts in 1984.

Goes to show how fucking crap we’ve been in all those years bar 86.

From 24 games in 1985-86 = 48 points

From 24 games in 1983-84 = 43 points

From 24 games in 2020-21 = 42 points

All I hope this season is NOT a 1 season wonder like in 2015-16 that we suffered the next 4 seasons with crap management except Moyes.

Ibby,you are right about 84..I did check that year,but not obviously not properly.

We were doing really well,but then Devonshire done his ligaments that month and we finished 9th with 60 points,42 games( we got 17 points from the last 18 games)

Injuries can wreck anyone's season like Liverpool, Wolves, etc. so we have to hope to keep our players free from injuries. At this moment now, West Ham only have Masuaku, Yarmolenko, Randolph and Ogbonna as Balbuena and Antonio will be back this Sunday so only 4. At least our 4 defenders are as strong as each other so that a major plus. We got 15 games left so hope to get at least between 20 to 25 points to finish top 6.

Man City, Tottenham and Man Utd has European games so that gives us in favours but their strength in depth is far more stronger than us so we need to carry on building that.

Well putting into perspective it’s our best season thus far for fucking years.
I haven’t enjoyed a season more since the Payet show and a few many years ago.

No doubt in my mind that if the fans were allowed back we’d be in a relegation battle.

Never let little things like the football get in the way of the proper objective.

GSB OUT !
Bring back Jonathon !
