You are joking, right?

How about some rejoicing in a good start to 2014/15? It doesn't mean that we are now top 6, but there are 17 clubs below us and some of them are happy to be in the prem. PL hasn't changed but some experience is now in the team. Let us go with the team and stop all the carping. I doubt that we are going to stay where we are but we are 3 rd at present and no one expected that. Yes we have top teams to play but for the present we are 3rd. Let all the miserable sods who never see a half full glass look for hope.

Making judgements after 3 games, one way or another, is clearly ridiculous. Let's all calm down and see where we are after 8 or 10 games.
Believe it or not, those who don't like Lambert still love the team and are pretty damn happy when they win.

Mendax is right, making judgements after only 3 games is ridiculous, but then so is making judgements after 8 games bearing in mind our next 5 fixtures. We will do well to pick up anything at all from those games. Therefore we need to stay patient, accept that the next few games are going to be difficult and stay behind the team. We are likely to be closer to the bottom of the table than the top by the end of October. A more realistic time to assess where we are likely to finish the season would be end of November. I for one am encouraged to think we will do better than last year as it looks as though we will be harder to score against than last year but that will be tested in the coming games

No judgement made, indeed a cautionary note made, so not ridiculous.
Lets be happy that we have made a good start.
Many it seems expected the worst and yes as stated we have the top boys to play SOON.
Many are delighted that 7 from 9 is better than 17 other clubs.
Try to be happy rather than doubting, it does help one exist.

Sorry Oldvillain, I just do not really know why or how we are even talking about this
Let's move on to something more interesting
