... Sin bin and one week ban for any poster suggesting we will challenge for the title this year?

I took comfort in the fact that we didn't win today when I realised that the board would be littered with "title contender" nonsense if we did, and then I see people are posting this elsewhere and I'm thinking - FFS! Our title challenge is as strong as West Ham's, Leicester's and Crystal Palace's. That said, those clubs and ours probably have a batter shot at the title then Chelsea this year.

So yeah - if you (the poster) suggest were going to challenge for the title I am beg repoint you and requesting you hit the sin bin. Anyone else with me?
 
If Man Utd are title contenders. So are we.

I suppose it depends on whether you think Man Utd are title contenders, I suppose.

I fear that your relentless positivity may land you in trouble one day.

The league is really weak, but we're not title contenders. We can challenge for top 4 imo. We played a great game and should probably had all 3 points today, but let's not get carried away

In context. 100/1 is outrageous when the team we outplayed today are 13/8, the team we thrashed are odds on, and the team that needed an own goal to beat us are 7/1.

I don't want to be repetitive, but it bears repeating: after 12 games, the only team to score a winning goal against Spurs in this competition this season is, er, Spurs.

Again, I invite you to stop what you're doing and consider that fact for a minute.

There are 26 games left. That's 78 points to play for. Now I'm not going to be saying until mathematically impossible we are still in the chase but I haven't seen much to say that even at this stage, you can rule us out. Being carried away is saying it'll be a cake walk. Top four is on, winning the league is POSSIBLE.

Also, don't say ''as strong as West Ham''..we are far better than them, therefore have a far better chance.

You should be banned just for suggesting Spam are on our level.

Agreed. Crystal Palace is also fanciful. Leicester I don't dismiss.

I particularly liked the ballsy way I've been called out: "the poster".

Classy bloke in every possible respect, the OP. Clearly.

Nope, we cannot agree on that. Obviously we're still a way off being title challengers. But if we're into sin binning people for having unrealistic expectations, then there's a bit of a list to go through before getting to people claiming a title challenge being on.

As of right now, we're a lot closer to a title challenge than a completely indifferent season, which quite a few people were screaming was already a reality once September rolled around without a striker and a defensive mid signed.

Be a positive fella, and get them binned first :pritchardeyes:

That's exactly the thing, there's 26 games left

Something you should consider -betting odds are not about x teams actual chances of winning a league, cup, match or a corner. It's based on how people have actually laid their stakes, and nothing more.
