Good to hear that some teams in a relegation battle can turn to prime Barcelona in their 36th game while their opponents are making the worst defensive decisions all season. Nothing to see here.

Popular Post Welmantry Posted 13 May 2023 Popular Post Posted 13 May 2023 The sad thing is. All of us, as fans, may pretend we’re resigned to the fact we are relegated yet all of us, as fans, will be sitting on the edge of our seat shouting at the tv for leicester to win every last game and still believe (a small part of us) that we can do it. its just what being a fan is about. My wife says why don’t I just support a team that wins but she doesn’t understand that emotional torment is part of it. im so superstitious that the last one we won vs wolves the dog was licking me left foot when we scored the winner. Now I chase the dog around the house dementedly forcing my foot on him every time we play. he hasn’t licked my foot since… 1 5

I was looking forward to it, imagining a lively port city. I've spent time in uglier cities (Stoke, Cov, most of Plymouth), but have rarely spent time anywhere so deadly dull - only Reading comes to mind. "MK by the sea" is spot on. Good riddance to bad rubbish! Shame we look likely to see them again next season.... One of my best mates (previously of this parish) moved down there 6/7 years back and **** me it’s dreadful. Can imagine loads of people going “ I don’t actually listen to music!” or similar down there, the snow patrol of cities 1 1

STUHILL Posted 13 May 2023 Posted 13 May 2023 There is usually a final twist when it comes to relegation scraps, but I just can't see how that will be us. Those two draws today by Leeds and Forest, are huge - especially for Forest. 4 points ahead with us likely losing to Liverpool. Brutal truth is, we just don't deserve to stay up. So little fight and desire. Sad times, but a big clear out in the Summer will be a good thing!

Good to hear that some teams in a relegation battle can turn to prime Barcelona in their 36th game while their opponents are making the worst defensive decisions all season. Nothing to see here. All good and normal. It does feel like teams are having a stroke or luck but ultimately its luck they are making for themselves. Defenders are making mistakes because they are being put under pressure. 'Lucky' deflections are occurring because people are taking shots on goal or drilling in low crosses etc. It doesn't boil down to luck. If you put enough pressure on any player, at any level, they will make mistakes. Doesn't even just apply to football. Our problem is we don't apply pressure. We don't run at defenders, we don't take shots, we don't drill in crosses. It's going to take a massive stroke of luck to get a goal by passing it around your defenders aimlessly. We are fvcked, but that's our own doing. You've seen Forest go at Chelsea and get something, you've seen Leeds go at Newcastle and get something. Everton at Brighton....we haven't 'Gone At' any team this season and you can bet your bottom dollar it will be a repeat of the same lethargic dross come Monday night. We don't deserve to stay in this division. 17

st albans fox Posted 13 May 2023 Posted 13 May 2023 Can’t complain about our luck going forward- we score plenty it’s the u12 defending all season that has cost us

There was something off in the performance of Newcastle and Chelsea and you could figure it from the first minute. Call me a conspiracy theorist or whatever. This is a disgrace and our board is there liable for letting this happen just to be happy to take the TV money. I take it you've been imbibing to drown your sorrows bud 😵💫.. It's simple to explain really, other teams do this strange thing.. it's called FIGHTING TO STAY UP... Our bunch of losers are and always have been soft and basically roll over. Add to this some have employed proven specialists like the "not good enough for Leicester city" Dyche, Allardyce and Hodgson (who are all clearly rubbish) and you don't need conspiracies. Occams razor my friend. Edited 13 May 2023 by J. James

I've been calling for a tiny bit of optimism over the course of the last week, trying to reign in some people's pessimistic hyperbole by explaining the maths. But even I think it's ridiculous to expect Everton to pick up no more points. They look the best of the four of us in it at the moment and they've got Bournemouth at home on the last day. We almost certainly need 2 points from our next two games in order to finish above them. Of course it's POSSIBLE they lose all their games but it isn't particularly likely.

These leeches who call themselves players are the most disgraceful squad we’ve ever had. They have three games to prove me wrong. We are not the first club to be relegated with a big wage bill but we will not be relegated with the biggest wage bill. Dunno how people can suddenly forget teams like QPR and Newcastle who got relegated with bigger wage bills than us. Agree about our players though. I’ve said all season, regardless of manager, they are a disgrace. Edited 13 May 2023 by Fox92
Fear Of The Fox Posted 13 May 2023 Posted 13 May 2023 Alright. You all have a legit point about these teams showing more fight in a relegation battle. I don't disagree. My initial argument was the way the fixtures are spread the last 3-4 weeks of the season. I can't find any logic behind the fact we're playing Mondays after all the other teams in the relegation scrap and especially when some of them are playing against teams that are actually on the beach. This was my actual point and my conspiracy theory of frustration follows it.
