    They didn't miss a penalty, Vorm saved it! Unlike your keeper last week, and we had 6 shots on target, none of them went on, and Wigan had 4 including a penalty , on balance a draw was a fair result, but not scoring is not scoring, whether you hit the woodwork or not, ask man city that when he held them for 60 minutes last week.

    It's no good holding them for 60 minutes then letting in 4 in the final 30 minutes!

    They don't give you two thirds of a clean sheet! <doh>

    To be fair, Vorm was a good signing.

    Bit cruel though to tell him Swansea was in a nice area of London. ;)

    Tell you what when you lose to them come back here and tell me that you played better than us against them , losing gains you zero points whether it's by one goal or four.

    Probably because Norwich and Swansea are stronger than last season as we have bought players, you have just bought in freebies and are weaker because of it, you have ten days to bring targets in, not much time IMO , not impossible of course but unless you strengthen you will struggle until january .

    The thing is Jager, we DIDN'T lose to them, we only conceded 1 goal because the ref saw a shoulder to shoulder OUTSIDE the box as a penalty, otherwise we would have beaten them!

    By the way, a 1 - 1 draw places you above a team with a 0 - 0 draw!

    As I said we both need to beat team's like Wigan home and away to stay up, no good to draw against them as it's points dropped, so let's hope that both of us can, as I said I am confident that we can stay up.

    <laugh> But it's not the number of wins that counts, it's the points. Of which we had more. Also, it's only ONE more win. That's almost negligible. Especially considering we lost far fewer games than you!

    And we let in far fewer goals than you, you can make stats say anything, but you hit the nail on the head points mean everything, goal difference can help as well but if you have the points goal difference will matter little, I am confident that we will hit about 46 points this season.

    I think you should check your facts fella, all our signings are freebies? Also how do you know that we haven't strengthened the squad.

    You may need to revise Jager's comment.
