jumbo mills Posted 21 December 2014 Share Posted 21 December 2014 I've watched Match of the Day avidly. But now I can't it's so depressing. I know one of the pundits will say we are definitely down and their is no hope. In life I don't normally bury my head in the sand but I have to on this one. Am I alone or going to get crucified?

Matt Posted 21 December 2014 Share Posted 21 December 2014 Truth hurts. I'm not watching it but thats because once (live) is enough. Losing is becoming normal though, it's beginning to hurt less, it's routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing is becoming normal though, it's beginning to hurt less, it's routine. And thereby lies the problem Matt it shouldn't do should it? We should not be expecting to lose week in week out. Very very predictable we lose more or less every away game 2-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 21 December 2014 Share Posted 21 December 2014 And thereby lies the problem Matt it shouldn't do should it? We should not be expecting to lose week in week out. Very very predictable we lose more or less every away game 2-0 This is the key. We are going into games expecting to lose. As fans, we looked at yesterday's game beforehand, with little real hope. Spurs can be great or awful in equal measure, but the prematch thread will typically read like we have little chance. Under MON's teams (and even under Adams) we went into most games thinking we may have half a chance. Now, the sad indictment is that we have such little expectation, realistically and some seem already resigned to relegation. Something needs to happen. Some spark from somewhere.

Weller in Tights Posted 21 December 2014 Share Posted 21 December 2014 I have never in my 54 years been able to watch Match of the Day when City lose, no matter what division we're in. City lose and it spoils my whole weekend. My Mrs can't stand football, but she'll always check the City score to see what mood I will be in for the rest of the weekend. I love reading the Sunday papers, but again, if City lose it puts me off doing that. A city defeat has a massive effect on me. Please don't reply with "get a life", that's not helpful at all, what I need is the club to realise what effect they have on my life and for all of them to pull their bloody finger out!!

old koppite Posted 21 December 2014 Share Posted 21 December 2014 I' m the same now, but tbh after the Burnley game as I've been watching our games on a stream, I just can't be bothered watching many other TV games even though I've got Sky. Think I'm losing my love of football ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsell1976 Posted 21 December 2014 Share Posted 21 December 2014 I struggling to watch us at the match, very, very hard to justify the cost of going home and away every week, if I could get a feeling we could get a win it might get me interested again, but as we speak, I cannot be bothered watching our side how poor they are, just knowing it's going to be the same result, same excuses, and the same bollocks that we will get it right. Nothing is saying to me things are getting better, but plenty to show me we are so far away from a premier league club, from the manager down.

kristianity77 Posted 21 December 2014 Share Posted 21 December 2014 I've not watched anything from us on MOTD for well over a month. It's not that its the worst football we've ever played even though we are on an awful run, we've certainly played much worse over the years. But its the most uncompetitive I've ever seen us in a given league, totally out of our depth and its just deflating that by Christmas, we already know we are done for.

As I'm in exile I'd been looking forward to trying to get to a few games, but can't get a ticket anyway, and look ahead each weekend to which games i might get to but then think why bother wasting a day and over £100.

ALC Fox Posted 21 December 2014 Share Posted 21 December 2014 Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Performances like the Man City game give me hope. But, mistakes like in the Man City game make me SO angry. These mistakes happen EVERY week. I'm starting to think an entire new back four is needed in January.

But as fans we cannot do anything to change it, a majority of us have this opinion that you have described above at this current moment in time, so it's up to the players to prove us wrong. I keep saying, they are trying and i'll give them that, but they're simply not good enough and if they're not good enough, well, we're ****ed and that's where we are.

Pearson keeps bleating on about staying positive, but how can we, we just so far out of our depth it's becoming embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxy harry Posted 21 December 2014 Share Posted 21 December 2014 i know it looks nailed on that we re relegated but realy all it takes is a win no mtter how if thats an own goal in the last minute and were 3 points off safety again win again after that nd were out of the drop zone. burnley are playing lpool and city hull are playing sunderland and us palace are plying sothampton and QPR and as i say a flukey win v spurs and i reckon well beat hull if they lose to swansea thats all it takes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This....100%!! My other half knows if City win we might end up going out for a meal or a least a takeaway in with some beers, we lose she knows to make other plans as I will sit in the same position on the sofa seething all weekend until we get to do it again the following Saturday. On a positive note it's been a pretty cheap few months regarding take away's and nights out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
