If you can play like that ,and get a point whilst going top of the league ...then you know that the omens are good.
West Broms bubble has burst and Bristol Citys good run is in decline.
If we can just hold our nerve for the next 5 or 6 games, then we will get automatic promotion.
Our opposition still have the harder run in chaps....and they are bottling it..!
We didn't ...and WE are top of this League.!!!

Spot on mumf.
It's all about nerve now ... We must win our home games, and draw away at the very least. Going to be a real rollercoaster from here ... In our hands now though, that is for certain ... Watford Brazil got to play each other ... so both of them can't win every game.
ah

Don't think TP ever really wanted him mumf. It's all about character with TP and nugent ain't got it ... I'll be surprised if he finds another striker ... bothroyd will do us I reckon
ah

Bothroyd is a good signing...He's bound to be a bit rusty...
This squad is good enough...!!!

Spot on mumf... and about the squad too, although I'd still like to see one more striker if we possibly could.

It may have seemed that way for those not actually at the game, but having just got home, the point, although welcome, was not gained in the way that Champions go about things.
Pulis is plotting his way to promotion in the same way as he plotted his way to survival all those seasons ago.
Make no mistake, we made absolutely no attempt to win the game today. The starting formation was comical, and the players spent the first half continually looking to the bench to tell them where the fuck they should have been playing.
We got lucky today, and Pulis reverted to type with yet another team sent out to play negative.
A good point that we would all have taken at 9am this morning, but in no way shape or form was that a champions point!

It is, as davejohnno says, a point we would have taken pre-match however you have to wonder why we could not take advantage of the extra man in the way Leicester did against West Brazil.
I think it comes down to the mentality of the managers concerned.

Spot on davejohnno...
A true champion's manager would have seized the initiative immediately on SJE's departure. Instead we played 5/6 at the back for 20 minutes until half time. Very, very frustrating...
