So presumably we started badly and are getting better rather than starting well and fading.
I wonder which one we prefer especially so early in the season ?

Drew one match. Disaster. We should all give up now.
The only references are "got off to fliers the last two seasons and look what happened".

The BBC even got their stats wrong. Based on a 90,000 capacity the stadium was only 26.6% full, so to say a third (33.3%) when it is so obviously much nearer a quarter is pandering to their favorites.
In City's it case it would definitely be reported as 'Three quarters empty, the Emptyhad'.

It's fine. "less than a third" is absolutely accurate - they've looked at it and gone "a third of 90k is 30k - less than that".

Less than a third sounds better that just over a quarter. With City it would be nearly three quarters empty. Keep with the narrative chuck.

That I accept is likely.
I disagreed that they'd got anything wrong.

Today's Daily Fail website has no fewer than 5 articles on Wio taking up boxing.

... but nothing on the rags (and Chelsea) reneging on their promises and obligations to properly accommodate disabled supporters.

Rags must be on holiday....

This reads to me 'we agreed to slag them off and give the club, the fans, the manager and the players no credit at all, perhaps now we should all give some faint praise to Pep....what do you all think?
