The 'unbeaten' label is just a silly bragging right. At the end of the day, points matter if you want to move up the table.
1 win + 1 loss = 3 points
2 draws = 2 points (but unbeaten!)
That's a fantastic song because of the complex nature of what it represents in the context of the film it was specifically written for.
It seems to happen too often a player gets a knock and seems to disappear for weeks. This didn't happen years ago and the game was much more physical. Im hoping its an opportunity to rest players early on so we don't get a repeat performance as of the end of last season?
A sTop draw. That has to be one of creepiest endings to a musical ever
It's a stunning dark musical . Showing life in the decadent liberal bohemian Berlin against aTop draw. That has to be one of creepiest endings to a musical ever
Bit rich to be complaining about nationalism and intolerance when your pic and username is Fidel fucking Castro.A s

back drop of the rise of fascism.
A message that can be noted today with the rise of nationalism , Trump , Farage
and polite bigoted intolerance.
That last scene really creaps me out. The song is genuinely beautiful and the dissonance it creates with what the song heralds and the enthusiastic support of ordinary German is truly frightening.A s

But for all those words it would have been better to have 1 pt more & not be unbeaten.While the maths are true, I think its more than bragging rights......it means, so far, in the PL we are unbeatable.
The only team all 4 divisions who have not experienced a league defeat this season. Maybe in Europe? Who knows.
Thats something the players will cling to like a jack russle as long as they can.
Yes you can go a season unbeaten and go down.
No, we wont go all season unbeaten of course.
But right now, it shows we are damn hard to beat (impossible as it stands)
Turn these draws into wins and we are flying. It only takes one goal to do that....Kane is back, and despite it all being a bit disjointed, we are not far off putting a few wins together.
Five points from Liverpool, City and arse away.
Chelsea lost to both arse (hammered) and Pool by way of contrast. Im glad we are unbeaten.
But for all those words it would have been better to have 1 pt more & not be unbeaten.
I don't think the players are playing like they have the confidence or swagger of a team who can't be beat.
& they are used to losing in the cups anyway.
I don't think the players & poch will look too much in to the unbeaten thing.
Equally, I don't think it will be a big blow when we lose the unbeaten tag. I think they will quickly move on.
Blimey, your on the ticket , my old son .Bit rich to be complaining about nationalism and intolerance when your pic and username is Fidel fucking Castro.

German marching songs are really quite stirring, a tribute to their musical pedigree.That last scene really creaps me out. The song is genuinely beautiful and the dissonance it creates with what the song heralds and the enthusiastic support of ordinary German is truly frightening.
Pretty much agree with this.While the maths are true, I think its more than bragging rights......it means, so far, in the PL we are unbeatable.

yeah, I just don't think it has much bearing on how we do in each game.The unbeaten good / bad argument only matters if you think that it changes the way that the team plays. The concern is that the players are becoming risk averse in order to maintain the unbeaten record.
Which they're not imo. Look at the desire to go on and win after the equaliser against the spammers. if anything the "7 games without a win" record was more of a prominent statistic before last weekend's game.
Of course it would be better to be winning more games. That is the team's intention every game im sure. Yes a loss and a win is better than two draws. But you cant correlate games like that. i.e taking a loss in one game is no guarantee of a win in the next.
Short answer: If our out of form / fitness forward players start converting more chances and our defense maintains its record of not conceding. Then we will win more games.
Then a tactical change, and 6 wins and 6 clean sheets.
And we have a depleted squad now.
Still, no matter how reprehensible we perceive Chelsea to be, they aren't as disgusting as this lot when they (momentarily) go top of the league:
Most of you are probably too young to remember the kids programmes of the 70's and 80's where "gunging" contestants and the like was the "go to" entertainment vehicle for showing displeasure or failure.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if a button existed on the board - so that when the match thread carping, whining, commentary wankbags get on their punditry high horse, or the "it might be good enough for you - but it's certainly not good enough for me" crowd start posting at a furious rate - we could select the "gunge" button - and a cesspit emptying truck would reverse up to the room with their PC in it, and fire 35,000 gallons of raw sewage straight at them?
Perhaps all of their posts could be presented through a sepia mist, just to let them know that everyone's fed up with their shit?
I would definitely do the cesspit truck thing if I was elected president.
