I was probably one of the negative posters you're referring to, and I WOULD personally prefer to watch the Albion in League 2, playing proper football, than the ugly stuff they played on Monday.
My main gripe, though, was that you actually get 3 times as many points for winning a game as you do for drawing, and there was absolutely no intention of going for a win (v Everton). If we had shown any desire we could have nicked a goal, and chalked the points up.
We would celebrate into the night if we heroically get 2 draws with ManC and Chelsea, or ManU and Arsenal, but it would have been a damn sight easier to have played Berahino upfront (instead of left back!) and at least tried to get a goal against a very beatable Everton...... and you get the same number of points.
Quite right.
Drawing away at OT, Chelsea and Man City is the same as holding onto a 2 goal lead at QPR...
Feckin Irvine...
Interesting stuff, I wonder if we would have won at Spurs & Leicester (who were unbeaten at home at the time) with TP in charge? Two clean sheets and we nicked a goal.
