Another prick than mentions our easy start. We were favourites by a mile to finish bottom therefore not one single game is easy. You ****ing deluded public execution loving bastard.
On paper our start was "reasonable", not easy. In our 8 games we've had to play Man U (they might not be great at the minute, but that's more to do with the manager than the squad), Aston Villa (last season Champions League, this season Europa League after narrowly family to get champions League on the last day of the season), Crystal Palace (FA cup winners, and many peoples dark horses for a top 6 finish this season) and Nottingham Forest (finished 7th last season to qualify for the Europa league but should have been in the conference league) and Brentford (10th in the EPL last season). Of our opening fixtures, only West Ham, Wolves (14th and 16th last season in the EPL) and newly promoted Burnley would have been considered "winnable" at the start of the season, and we lost to Burnley. But none were easy "gimmes". We could easily have lost to Brentford, Villa, Palace, Forest and Man U along with Burnley, only drawing today against Wolves and be sitting on 4 points. If we were, that's what was expected of us. But, let's face it, the mags have only won twice this season, against two teams we've beaten (Wolves and Forest), both games at home (we had to play Forest away), they'd either lost or drawn every other game including drawing with Villa(mimicking our result when we were down to 10 men). Both starts are basically comparable, theirs SLIGHTLY harder due to having to play Liverpool and Arsenal, but outside that most of the teams are of similar level. Their start on paper was "reasonable", just like ours. They can't take that we've had a better start than them on roughly comparable fixtures, so have to make excuses for it.
