Good day for us. We got a point and Brighton lost, f@ck the post mortem of whether we are playing well or not, we are and still on track to go up. Look at all the other teams who have been in the Premier League and now are in oblivion with very little chance of getting back there. If it hadn't been for Pardew laying the foundations for Benitez to take the glory we could have very easily gone the way of the Dodo.
People saying good point, here's me thinking that Birmingham were 4th or that they were unbeaten in the last 5 or wait sorry worst form in the country Birmingham, missed opportunity, they took there opportunities when we drew at Reading and lost to Fulham. Should go up but that selection today and the fact we missed an opportunity to pull away is concerning, still need another 14 points.
If I hear one more person mention goal difference is like an extra point I'm going to lose my ****. No it's not. It's like an extra half point. If we finish one point behind someone we can't trade in our goal difference and draw level. Luckily it won't come to that. We'll be fine. Honest!
I go back to my comment - Rafa has cost us points. Birmingham are and were ****. We are giving these sort of sides too much respect.
top 3 managed a point between them this weekend. All 3 away though, at least Brighton has a tough game. You lot drew against a Birmingham side that are pony
In context of the league it's a good point but Rafa had an away day off day. Tactically too conservative. Bit of a shame - out home form shows we really need to keep up our away form. Which means beating sides as bad as Birmingham
