It's laughable the MOTD comments really
Win sat and we could jump a few places
Not only that but we currently have Everton below us. Palace. Wolves.
How about wait until Christmas and see how different the levels are. At the moment we are competing at the same level as some other established prem clubs. |  |

I thought shearer was ok but murphy's comments were laughable, lcfc stand the best chance of survival cos they have an experienced manager? Overlooking completely that km spent years at spurs and utd ok not as manager but 1st team coaching is just as important as he was exposed to what it takes to succeed at the top end of the league |  | | |

I thought they made themselves look silly as they'd spent the previous minute talking about our tough run of games and that in that context we'd be happy with our start, then trotted out this. |  | | |

I've heard enough from Murphy on Talksport to know that he doesn't know very much about football. He also likes to make it sound as if he was a top top player. I'm astounded he keeps getting media work. There's so many pundits out there who really put in their research, some of them seem to just rock up and say whatever comes to mind. | | | |

I'd like to know what have we failed at doing?
Not beating league champions?
Not beating league champions hopefully?
Not beating 2 x very established prem sides.
With a new squad, international break, injuries
What we're they actually expecting from us? | |

It's to be expected though isn't it. I'm pretty sure it was like this in 2000/2001 with the pundits then. We were patronised at the start but then as the season went on and we stayed near the top it gradually dawned on them that we weren't going down. Their world revolves around the Big 6 and they only give attention to anyone else after it takes weeks to sink in to them that someone else might be a bit good. Didn't we have the same last year in the Championship from the Parachute 3 for practically the whole season ? |  | | |

Now that Jermaine Jenius is 'otherwise engaged' and Don Goodman is fast becoming a distant memory, we have Daniel Murphy now in our sights. | | | |

On paper they do have more PL experience throughout their squad
They've probably got lucky losing Maresca, he had a habit of playing with the handbrake on at times |  |

"It's the fewest [of?/that?] any teams ever gathered since last season's three".
This Lineker is paid a lot of money at taxpayers' expense. He's supposed to be one of the more literate of ex-footballers. In making the opening point about what this "graphic" is supposed to illustrate, he shows himself incapable of stringing a sentence together that even makes grammatical sense. When you actually turn to the meaning of the sentence, what he is saying is that this season's newly promoted clubs have scored /more/ points than last season's.
The fact that this season's teams have scored 4 times as many points at the same stage of the season is apparently a sign that the gap is getting bigger.
What is this shower? It's like actors performing the words of children who have improvised with no rehearsal.
Clearly what they should have done is have some kind of graph showing what newly promoted teams have done historically, and another showing what they have done more recently. Then described this change in their first language, with subtitles if necessary.
No counter-argument is considered, for example that Ipswich have played three games against teams in the top four. Just tired old obvious observations from pundits who don't appear to have any detailed knowledge of the clubs they're talking about, or their fixture lists.
The reality is that we are the first team to go to Brighton and not lose. They have beaten Man Utd, Crawley (cup) and Villareal (friendly) at home since the beginning of August. But why let the facts get in the way of a badly garbled story? |  | | |

Most would have gone with his prediction regarding Liverpool v Forest - it was kind of a shock result.
I don’t mean to defend him but some on here are being far too precious. We’re a newly promoted team with almost zero PL experience. Plus a fair few of the first team played on L1 - until we start to proof to others that we can win in the PL then we’re going to be favourites for relegation and favourites to lose against experienced PL teams. | | | |

I accept your argument that we're newly promoted and are still learning as a team and because of that we're an obvious easy 3 points for some teams.
But Sutton?
Now go and wash your mouth out with soap and water. | |

It's also pretty arbitrary. You could also say it's the lowest points total at this stage for teams ending in 'ton' (I don't know if it actually is!). Is this proof that it is harder for teams ending in 'ton' to compete? | |

However, his reasoning was not to do with having more prem experience in the squad which unquestionably they do. His reasoning was based on steve cooper being a more experienced manager which he is at prem level, but he completely overlooked the fact km has all the first team experience at utd and his work for spurs which is also pretty important | | | |

Yep, but look at the Sat morning thread on here and a several were predicting the same score. I won’t mention that I put us down for a draw! |  |

Brighton sitting on 8 points potentially undermines this, but who knows. | | | |

More pertinent would be to say that the bottom half teams have won 4 games out of 38 ** played , as opposed to championship (10 out of 60) - which shows the unequal nature of the Premier league.
** Now 4 out of 40 [Post edited 16 Sep 2024 8:41]
