Die isn't cast yet chaps, despite all the usual bullshit that will be posted after we get a tanking tomorrow and are in the bottom 3, it's still quite possible we'll win 3 and draw a few and stay up. Even if we don't we are in a massively better position than we were before Edens and Sawiris took over. We'll be going down with some huge parachute payments and competent owners this time. I'd back them and Smith to bring us back up in short order and have a better go at it next time. That said, we might stay up as league cup winners for the 6th time too. So till we're mathematically relegated we're still in with a shout. What u saying it's quite possible that we will hit a vein of form that we have been unable to hit all season.

It's very likely this is going to be a shit weekend for us Most weekends are when you are towards the bottom of any league but if you can’t live in hope why not just stop following football? If being in a cup final is a source for sadness and concern what’s even the point? Would people rather we had been knocked out earlier so they didn’t have to spend today wetting their pants with anxiety? I am pretty sure City will smash us and ruin my Sunday but I’m not going to let it ruin my Saturday as well. People should try some meditation or something.

I don't think he will go if we stay up. I think we'll want too much money, I don't think anyone would pay it. But who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really strange feeling but guess that's the position we're in. I loved the semi and getting to the final is a great achievement. I just think by the end of tomorrow it will have been a crap weekend.

Win our game in hand and we're out of the bottom 3 again and yes, 17th and above was the goal. If we do this, if we do that. Next week it will be ‘if we win our next two’. Wake up and smell the coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermon Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 So West Ham didn't take heart from their last performance? Hah!! Difference is when we play decent but lose we don't follow it up with a win, heck we don't even follow it up with a draw. I think being in relegation zone will impact the players psychologically.

Oh you couldn’t wait until we were in the bottom three to post this. Did you have it ready to copy and paste. Not wait until the end of the games or we played our game in hand but the second West Ham took a lead you commented. Sad! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) If we go down it'll be because of our shameful and pathetic ability to win at least a game or two against the better teams. Smith has a lot to answer for. Other teams can do it, even ones in a worse position than us, but why can't we?

He hasn't done himself massive favours but he's had to struggle with some terrible players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
