I’m pretty sure it wasn’t me.

It wasn't.

Although you did get involved in the six pointer discussion, which was marginally less ridiculous.

The 6 pointer exists. And not just in relegation scenarios.

It does exist.

But our game vs Norwich was not a six pointer.

If you say so. But consider this. Had we lost, wed have been 16th, level with Norwich on points with a tough game against Bournemouth ahead.

Of course it wasn't a '6 pointer'

Ridiculously too early in the season to be applying that term to fixtures. Although it can be applied to teams battling it out for the title it is almost always used in the latter half of the season for those teams battling it out to avoid relegation ie the relegation 6 pointer.

If you are using the term for our recent game against Norwich are you are saying we are both battling each other for the title or both battling each other to avoid relegation ?

The term applies to any game where teams close together in the table are competing for points, with the result having potential consequences.

Had we lost, wes be 16th and level with Norwich on points. Can you imagine the negativity around the club,.players and fans had that happened.

Anyway. We won. I'm over it.

Why would I have to change what you say?

Well why are you making irrelevant comments?

If you accept I’m right then that is fine.

posted on 29/10/19

I never said you are right.

I asked why I need to change what you say?

You're either agreeing with me or disagreeing.

If neither then your comment is irrelevant.

What else is there?

Accept we both have different views and opinions and leave it at that.

posted on 30/10/19

You still either agree or disagree.

posted on 30/10/19

You are either right or wrong

Calling the game against Norwich a 6 pointer is wrong
