Guest Hog Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The stars haven't aligned, we've been largely poor for the first 30 games with the odd notable exception. We've been badly managed and coached for several years, we've signed layers for the wrong reasons and wasted lots of money on players either unsuitable or unnecessary. We're down there because of the way the club and team has been poorly run for a sustained period of time. Rob Elliot twisting his knee isn't the reason we're staring relegation in the face, we're fucking shit and the players don't care. We're not down there by mistake or accident or fluke. ... which is what I said to a degree, except that when we're down things just appear to add to the general curse we have - that curse being all of the above, as well as some poxy pikey hex thrown on the club.

Wasn't aimed at you directly chap. If/when we go it won't be down to individual pieces of luck it'll be a succession of poor decisions made at all levels of the club from playing, to managing to overseeing the club in it's entirety. It's not bad luck, it's rank bad decisions and bad practise that have us in 19th place with 8 games to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot or Darlow, Mitrovic or Cisse, 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, it's not the little things that'll send us down it's the way the club has been run for the last 5 years or so. We deserve to go down, not 100% sure we'll go down but we certainly deserve to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 If Rafa somehow manages to get us out of this mess, I'll happily chip in if we get a statue of him at SJP. It's a total mess and under my normal sane self, I'd probably have given up after tonight. But because there 8 games left for us and Rafa is the manager, I'm just going to hang on to the last straw I have until the next disaster hits us.

Everyone prefers Sunderland, marra. Classy club and the more successful. Because everyone hates the jawdees, Sunderland are well liked by other fans. #RTG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wed 11 May Norwich vs Watford Sunderland vs Everton Sun 15 May Everton vs Norwich Watford vs Sunderland Both teams will be coasting, regardless. Both going to finish safe, but outside of Europe and probably not in the top half. So I don't see that it makes any difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Palace will keep dropping and dropping and dropping and dropping. Norwich is a massive game, but the Palace game will be even bigger by the time we play them. Must not lose on Saturday, a lose would be disastrous whereas a draw we could cope with (especially if the mackems lost). A win would be nice, but we support Newcastle so we may as well plan for the worst Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get past a strong sense that we needed 6 points, or at least 4, from Bournemouth and Sunderland. I'm looking forward to usual pre-match delusional optimism kicking-in.
