The saddest thing is that I'm not even surprised!
Any team thinks they can get a result against us.
And I'll still be there on Thursday - Tottenham 'til they kill me

And that's all I'm going to say on that subject.
And they are doing their utmost, aren't they?
 
Is this even rock bottom? I keep thinking we couldn't go any lower but what next?

I'm starting to wonder if we might actually get relegated
. I don't think we know how to win football games any more and refs all find it hilarious. Once we go a goal down then do the time waisting thing and we'll all have a good laugh at Tottenham.

I wrote in here a few weeks ago about this exact thing.

Look at our form, no wins in the PL in January.

Set aside injuries, and ask your self would Micky and Romero have made a big difference over the last dozen games? Perhaps yes, but look back to when we were pretty much a full strength in defense.

We were still conceding for fun, not because of poor defenders, but because of poor defending.

We need (i think) fifteen more points for safety, five wins, where does anyone see five wins coming from playing the system that has failed in almost every game we have played?

Remember no wins in the PL this year.

I lived through and was a new season ticket holder in that 76/77 season, this season I am seeing the same pattern game after game. Inconsistency, lack of game plan, losing from winning positions and lack on on and off pitch leadership.

Relegation is a possibility, but one saviour being that two teams are pretty much down.
 
I find it so embarrassing now the way he reacts to things being shouted, you’re in the public eye, just carry on down the tunnel, mention things in the press conference if you want to have a say.

This whole thing where he acts like bloke in the pub, having to be ushered out by his mates whilst he says “hold me back” whilst no one’s near him is cringe worthy.
Absolutely spot on and couldn’t agree more. That’s exactly what he’s like.
 
Lange signed Odobert, Gray and Bergvall.

A criminal waste of money.
The odobert one was strange as it came so late. They trued to dress it up saying we had been watching him for a while all BS. He stays we’re pretty ordinary. We needed proven quality. Why did we let Gio go on a free he had some good games last season then Ange ignored him. Remember a few games when he didn’t even bring him on or just gave 3 mins. Think one game he came on and created more chances than anyone else who had played the full 90. Would have been great option for MADDs.
 
And where were you when you mate Ange played Romero and VDV when they were not ready? And played them more than what you refer to "medical team" asked him to? Stop making excuses for your fraud so-called "manager". And, more importantly, stop twisting facts to suit your failed argument.
Who said Ange is my mate? What failed argument? I made no argument, just an explanation. Just as I've made no support for Ange. And as it turns out Richie felt a twinge, no surprise.
 
Could have given him plenty of minutes like b Tamworth. He never even came on. What must that do to his confidence.
Ange needed to develop a couple kids to help plug holes in the squad. He didn't. Ange needed to reach out to a couple of the castaways to plug holes in the squad. He didn't.

That's on Ange, and now that the squad is completely run down he pretends it wasn't his own fault. Ange-in cult blames Levy for putting Ange in a situation where he wanted to stick to his principles instead. Fair? I don't know- but between "principles" and necessary pragmatism we might be actually relegated. We're actually a laughing stock right now. We're actually a failing club right now.

Someone needs to be practical and do what is necessary to save the club from relegation.

Agree. I lived through that as well and plenty of people then were saying we were too good to go down.

In truth we probably were, but it was down to throwing away leads, as you say, and poor game planning and complete inconsistency. The exact same things we’re seeing now week in, week out.
 
Forget all this football chat lads, let's cut to the important stuff.

What I really want to know is did anyone see any of the new baguette places in the stadium today? I didn't go to the marketplace to find out.
