stop being so obtuse. a draw is a positive result for which you get a point
you wouldnt ever say"we went out there and got ourselves a result" if youd lost



losing 1 game in 8 is definitely good, and an upturn after our start.
and it certainly shows we are competeing, and not in need of much to change our fortunes

Sorry, I just don't find celebrating throwing away victories particularly palatable.

conversely, I couldn't stand the losses that we turned into results last season (that got us here)

if you want to be a doom monger then thats up to you
th epoint was about the FACT that a draw is a result, and a positive one

Just to be clear (to one of our many resident fcuk wits) I don't think Guthrie has done anything to justify starting or being on the bench as, on evidence so far, the main alternative he offers is an increased risk of defeat.............................possibly a stupid point to a Grade "A" twat like yourself, who is in need of a decent mirror to re-evaluate the size of his own bum hole.


Just a stupid point to anyone, really. Regardless of how well they did at school in Twat Studies, or how large thier anus is.


Well, that massive bum hole of yours is looking bigger by the day ............................and I'm guessing the same applies to Guthrie's unless today's performance saw you finally remove your head from it's favourite resting place.


I enjoyed the game, great come back. Would have been nice to have had Guthrie on the bench to give us options though.

I'm not mongering doom, and I don't know why you're still bitching seeing as me and Spizz have already resolved our differences. Six draws simply ain't much to shout about as if things are all ok. A lot of them weren't positive results, because they were 2 dropped, not 1 won.

because i want to, because i want to
didnt say it was anything to shout about
just that a point is positive, and a result
1 loss in 8 is also something worthy of positive comment, regardless

So a season of positive results, all draws would result in relegation.

Sounds a bit weird.

38 points would see you safe in a few premier league seasons
including this one imo


not that i want us to/think we will draw every match

everything is relative though you morons

losing a game isnt positive, drawing a game is more positive, winning a game is the most positive of all

and cvertainly in terms of our season, winning and drawing>>>>>>>>>>>>losing and drawing
and i think can certainly be seen as a positive improvement


its pretty clear, that an unbeaten run is always a good thing

No, I gotcha. But you can't just look at results to gauge what's happening.

A string of draws in which you threw away leads isn't much to shout about, especially if the performances were gashbollox.

But yeah, a draw is better than a loss - broadsheet front page stuff, mate.

the performances in our draws werent all gashbollox.

the entire argument was about whether a draw was a positive result ian said it definitely wasnt.
but it definitely is.

The point is, it ain't positive if you lost the lead.

Dropping two points rather than gaining one = negative.

Can we jazz this argument up with a picture of a monkey with a gun?

yes. youve already shown that you can.

still positive
just less positive
positivity isnt a black and white thing
unlike monkeys with guns

Clearly back on the drugs, Brendy, as everyone else can see that that monkey with a gun is in fact in colour, not black and white.
RL will be disappointed with you.

Drawing 1-1 away to Man Utd would be a positive result irrespective of when we or Utd score their goals.

Drawing at home to Stoke or Norwich isn't really a positive result as they're games we need to look for 3 points from. If we throw away a lead in those types of games they're even less positive.

How's a 3-3 draw rate when we've taken the lead, but were 2-1 down with a few minutes left, and 3-2 down with even fewer minutes left ?

Or how's a 3-3 draw when we've gone 2-0 up, had a man unfairly sent off
conceded two offside goals and a handball, before their keeper accidentally
throws it into his own net?

IMO what matters is the final result. Sometimes THEY will throw away a 2-0 lead
sometimes it will be us. History will just record the result

<PEDANT> Doesn't using the logic that if we gain points the result is positive then mean that a loss is not a negative result </PEDANT>
