    You'll lose most of these sort of games, it's all part of being in the EPL. Even if you only last one season, you'll have some great days, and win some games you never thought you would. Just enjoy testing yourselves against some of the best players in world football.

    Better than Norwich or dirty Leeds on a wet Tuesday night.
    Soso true

    We could have spent another 100 mill and get relegated.

    Let's remember of all the players we have spent money on only 1 started today. I think the best chance we have is hoping what got us 90 points in championship will get us 35 in pram.
    We could have spend 50 million in total, given ourselves a chance of staying up and still made a profit.

    Surely the drama queens are the ones that cry like babies anytime someone comes on here and points out the obvious? Our squad is not good enough and we will almost certainly be relegated. It's not what I want. It's just what I expect.

    Yes I think every one is aware our squad is not good enough and that we are deserved massive favourites to go down, thank you for clarifying that, it at all hadn't crossed my mind, in fact I thought we had a top half squad to be honest! The point is, we have played 5 games, 2 against top class opponents, and 3 of those 5 games away from home. By all means, criticise away after the Brighton game, but until then, have a bit of perspective regarding the start we have actually had.

    Maybe so but I stand by my assessment.

    Ooooh. Is that "sarcasm"? Clever.

    “A venue where world class teams don’t always get their way”😀😀😀😀 I think you’ll find that we had an abysmal record at the old Dean Court, even when the Cherries were tottering with extinction, Conference etc. A mother of all graveyards that. I recall going in the 82/83 promotion season to see City demolished by Trevor Morgan’s brace and the wizardry of one Milton Graham😡😡

    I don't think we are almost certain to go down. I think we've got a fighting chance. We've kept in all the games, we've not lost to anyone around us and we're not getting outclassed by anyone (except Hazard). In hindsight, I'd have rather we played the good teams first and realised we should attack teams instead of sitting back but there we go. There's no guarantee spending money guarantees success either. We've played harder games than Fulham, they've got 1 more point. I've also seen first hand we're better than Newcastle and Huddersfield, while Burnley look absolute garbage.

    It's going to be extremely tough and I wouldn't put any money on it, and we need a striker but I'm not writing us off. We're giving teams a scare.
