I think OP needs to chillax - we are 9th and having an unreal season. We have lost 7 games (5 of which we lost to teams in the top 7) and we are grinding out results where last season we would have been battered.
If Blackburn hit us for 6, so what? They have made about £20mill, bought expensive players and they are 6th in the league.
We are nowhere near promotion candidates but look at those poor buggers at the bottom going through the struggles we had last season and count your blessings.
