League table. Am I being precious?

[Ken Baileys Ghost]

BBC table:

9 Chelsea 7 1 11
10 Bournemouth 7 1 11

Identical records, strictly speaking, surely we are 9th due to alphabetical order?

 

[AFCBfan]

They're ahead on goals scored.

 

[Ken Baileys Ghost]

Ah............................................

That's what comes of not looking at the full table then.

 

[Grumpy G]

Exactly - c’mon Ken, everyone will think you’ve been on the vino (or just going senile).

 

[Ken Baileys Ghost]

Currently the latter, although I'm about to open a bottle of the former.

It's certainly a strange looking table after today's games. At the top especially.

 

[Corbin]

Win tomorrow we could go third....

 

[billythekid]

Down to 10th tonight.

 

[tedisking]

A win...but by 6 clear goals ?

 

[BillMcgarrycherry]

When we win...we go 4th...unless Chelsea destroyers sink those Hampshire topdogs!

 

[Def_II_Royalz]

Look at Palace sneaking up there. Fair play to them. I thought Zaha was going to cause problems having not secured his dream move but he's gotten his head down.

I still keep looking at the table and adding two points to it from last weekend, I don't normally get so obsessed with what if's over one game but think it's cause of the flying high mentality once we broke into the European places as opposed to mid table up's and downs.

I know early days but still we WERE there

 

[Grumpy G]

It’s weird, apart from Liverpool anyone can beat anyone at the moment.

Lets hope we can carry on the upsets and turn over the ARS-E tommorrow.

 

[GrahamH]

and palace fourth, who'd have thought of that?

The bigger two points dropped were Sheff U where we just let the game fizzle out.

Anyway look at the league table now with four points added on!

 

[afcb_rednblack]

We’ll be there or there abouts come the end of the season.

Please don’t ask me where that is because I don’t have a bleedin’ clue...

 

[Toronto John]

And I'm sure there will be a couple of games where we will be saying "how the heck did we get anything out of that mess?"

Still .... off to bed to dream about 3 points tomorrow morning.

We kind of settled for the draw as Sheffield United were an unknown quantity.

They are currently, played 4 won 1 drawn 3 currently away from home.

I'd say Eddie called that one right.

I’m not so sure personally. Last season we played Marseille off the park so took that same side into the opener and carried on that form.

This season we played Lyon off the park and then changed the side and more crucially formation. It allowed them to sit on us and we couldn’t get up the pitch as we ended up with a flat five at the back and two defensive midfielders....

It’s not picking as I think we are all pleased with the start don’t get me wrong but being 1up v Sheff u with three mins left is a bigger dropping of points then being 1up v West Ham having come from one down.
