yeah i agree if we go straight back up again we will be like every other club that has gone up and will just look to survive that first season back, but my point was that if we do replace the butts/smiths/owens with upcoming young talent and have a winning mentality and somesort of momentum then we mite be in a better position to survive than we would have if we still had all the old has beens which i believe we would have if we stayed up

thats the thing if we go staight back up whatever the team we have is its gunna be better than watever crap we would have had next season if we had stayed up. but it all hinges on this summer and trying to win the league next year. plus we cnt afford to start slowly we need to annoce ourselves in that league as the dominate force or else we could take months to get to grips with it

ameobi carroll partnership would be shocking id like to see some pace put into our team next season so from that lineup above id live to see r.taylor, nolan and ameobi replaced with new upcoming players. but i know that will be hard

owen coyle in that interview compared to phill brown yesterday

Yea being top of the league will be weird. if that actually is the case then next season will be a hell of alot more enjoyable than this season despite what league were in. it wont hurt so much if were winning every week

fair points. if we do in someway keep that back 4 plus harper and then with a few others staying duff/guthrie etc i think as crap as they have been in the premiership they would find the championship quite easy but we do need some investment in the center midfield, wings and striking roles. I have a funny feeling xisco may have a big role to play next year and i think he might florish in this league like he did in the spanish 2nd division

i think theres a very slim chance we can hang onto that back 4. considerin they were our best back 4 while in the prem so bassong no doubt will leave as teams will take note that he was our "player of the season" alot are aware of s.taylor aswell and alot seem to rate him, i'd be surprised if beye wasnt noticed aswell. enrique i dnt think would get many offers in england even though i personally rate him highly but there will be plently of spanish clubs willing to take him i would think.

the only positive for me is if we actually rebuild and use the fact that we are the biggest team down there then we might actually see our team win lots of games and the fans mite enjoy themselves next year despite being on a lower league but its still a NO from me to that poll because we cud have rebuilt this summer anyways even if we wernt relegated

what a goal by alexander for millwall asoon as he hit it it was in

an arsenal fan i know has his facebook status as, "F*** you arsenal im done with you and F*** you wenger im done with you aswell"

and bolton

i'd rather have that lot than the current side to be honest

thats that then all over theres no way wed stay up with 7 points and we may not even get that many

It honestly shocks me that it only took 45 minutes of non-terrible football to make everyone forget exactly what kind of "player" Alan Smith is. I'd bet my life that we'll all be screaming our heads off at him within ten minutes after kickoff. Its 45 minutes more than Nolan has shown. Thats not a compliment, but I'd have started him if Barton and Guthrie aren't fully up to speed. This logic flabbergasts me. Smith has shown about 10 hours more of absolute s*** across the entirety of last season. But it was his first seasion in the pre.......oh wait :-[ haha. i think shearer will have gone with smith because hes been making the right noises and however shit he is he is more likely to give his all than taylor and nolan from what ive seen

It honestly shocks me that it only took 45 minutes of non-terrible football to make everyone forget exactly what kind of "player" Alan Smith is. I'd bet my life that we'll all be screaming our heads off at him within ten minutes after kickoff. haha actually your right im hoping for a miracle but atleast we do have barton/jonas/guthrie available on the bench

no worst possible would have been r.taylor butt nolan

ive got the shakes!

feel the same and its still along way kick off!

its only portsmouth aswell. not like were playing one of the top 4. plus weve smashed them 3:0 in their own backyard with the same squad bar n'zogbiaand given so no reason we cnt do it at home.

why are so many people being so pesimistic? we need everyone to believe and be behind the team tomorrow night. if we lose then everyone can be all down and miserable after but until then BELIEVE PEOPLE BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!

5 man u players is a disgrace to be honest, there should be a bigger mix from various other teams

i dnt agree with all this giggs for player of the year stuff. surely it should be gerrard?

Do you honestly think Hull will get anything from Man Utd whether they're champions or not? yes if they play there 3rd/4th team

a win tho on monday could do wonders for confidence and with injurys clearing up 3 wins is very much possible so im positive. also i'd say we have to win all of them to have a chance of avoiding the drop as we have a better goal difference aswell so if we are on 39 and hull and sunderland are aswell then we may well still finish above them

thankyou Dirkle!
