Mowen Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 We should just write to the FA and ask them to relegate us. No point even trying to stay up - we're definitely going down so why even bother turning up. There's just no point. Let's just admit we're the worst team in the league and ask to finish 20th. They'd be doing us a favour tbh. Good point. After losing what should have been the easiest win of the season tonight, what can we hope for now. With so many players out and 2 key players having to go off during the game as well. How we didn't win it I'll never know. We've got such a great record at Man City as well. I know. We've outspent them this window too. Fucking simple win, thrown away. I didn't see this coming at all. All down to Llambias and that fucking scarf. I'll bloody scarf him if he's not careful.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Next win I can see, and could see a few weeks ago is Portsmouth at home. West Brom away, they're s***. A draw I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 West Brom's actually been on the up last few matches... Think Stoke are looking the worse team at the moment. Stoke at home... Ah, that certainly went well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 People can make light of the situation but we're 2 points off bottom and we're fucked. Had a feeling of absolute dread for some time now and I feel we may not be able to avoid the worst scenario this year, pains me to say it. I would fuckking love it if we stay up.

La Parka Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 We have come close a couple of times. I think its caught up with us this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 We have come close a couple of times. I think its caught up with us this year. I think you might be right, we've been declining quite slowly but the boardroom situation combined with the injuries has just brought everything crashing down. If you could script the circumstances in which a club like us would get relegated, we're living it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Injuries has fuck all to do with it tbh, it's the management of the club at board level and as a repercussion at the coaching level also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not comfortably mid table, but certainly not nailed-on for relegation as we are now. You can't blame this entirely on lack of transfer activities. No squad in the premiership could withstand the kind of injury crisis we've got. It's a miracle we avoided relegation in 2006-2007. This one's just as bad, if not worse.

Ketsbaia Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 we've got all the symptoms of a relegated team. instability off the pitch, clueless on it, a total lack of passion throughout the club, long serving players finally abandoning the ship, crippling injuries and lots of bad luck (think of all the injury time equalisers we've conceded). if any team defines the term "confidence team", then its us. we either go on good runs or horrifically bad runs with no in-between. we're running out of time to pick up the momentum.

You're probably right, but take away however-many first team players from any team in the league and they'd suffer immensely. I know the squad should be stronger, can't disagree with that.

Aye, we have performed to a moderate standard when we have had a squad to pick from rather than just picking who is fit. The first team is Premiership standard, the back ups are not unfortunately.

Guest Dev Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Some diabolical sages pointed out over a year ago when most of the team was crocked that our physio and training staff must be shit. Anyone still willing to tell me it's bad luck? Anyway, there's no reason we should get relegated. If fat fuck just puts his hand in his pocket he could get in a few players to comfortably move us up the table. It's still January. Problem is, he's a right cunt.

CaliMag Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I agree with Crumpy. This is not a knee jerk reaction. I just can't see it. We don't have a natural leader or a set of scrappers to keep us up. We have a set of demoralized players, a joke of a manager and a tight-fisted and mecurial owner. I rarely agree with Crumpy either so this isn't one of those N-O clique things (where the same sets or groups of people all agree). I have never felt this strongly since we came up. Even in the darkest depths of Gullit, Souness and Allardyce I remained hoepful. Not now though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewellander Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Few teams this year could survive the injury crisis we've been dealing with. It's impossible to say who's fault it is that we have so many injuries, but it's growing more and more clear that Ashley isn't going to do what needs to be done to give us the depth we need in these desperate times. I promised myself I would wait until the end of the window to make a judgment, but I'm losing faith quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 clichéd but so often true, we need some luck to spark something in the players...my fingers are crossed for the mackems game, give the lads a boost they're not getting from JFK or anyone else if they get a lucky win they don't deserve it might kick something off that otherwise wouldn't be forthcoming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
