    As well as the usual "we should be beating teams like Barnsley", there is also "they are 17th in the table because they are poor"

    Last time I looked at the table it showed that leeds had lost more games than us and are currently on a run of 7 defeats from 10 league games.

    Since when did relegation form make people feel condescending?

    And there it is...about half way down the page "we should be beating teams like Barnsley" :D

    Some of them literally never learn, and it's hilarious.

    To be fair to them though, they did win the title in August so it's not surprising.

    If you count the Leicester cup game they've lost 8 from their last 10. It's not really a sound basis to believe you should be beating anyone.

    I'm sure some people just look at the league table and go by that. I bet the bookies love people like that.

    And now one of them thinks it's our "cup final".

    13 posts in and that's most of the bingo card already crossed off!

    If anything, 4600 of the mugs paying 36 quid suggests it's their cup final.
