You are relishing a new challenge if we go down, why?

You talk about these things like having more 3pm kick offs and not worrying about VAR, my friend all those things pale in comparison compared to the amount of money we would lose, the amount of players we'd have to sell, the kind of players we'd likely attract etc...

Plus there's 0 guarantees that we'd go straight back up, every team that will come to our stadium will treat it like a cup final.

But if we go down to league 1 we could have £40 tickets and play the youth more. They can all be “one of own own”!!

Eventually ENIC would sell up and again the fans would get what they really want.

Great times ahead in my view. You need to be a bit more positive Mr Negative Nancy.

Which football teams do Premier League referees support?

Little old this one as it's from 2023m but it's quite shocking how stacked they are in terms of being from the mid to north of England.
Barely anyone below Luton.

It’s something to do with those that appoint them are from up there so give their mates the jobs. I remember reading an article on it once. There’s hardly ever been any referees from the south in the PL era.
 
Finally, signs of life

Hopefully the signs of life that have shown themselves over the last two games can appear against Forest ,the pressure will be on for this though as opposed to say last night which really was a free hit just not get thumped and we realistically did all we were likely to which is ok given the season we have had .A win obviously would be great and keep things in our own hands and any favourable results elsewhere would be an added bonus .Come on the Spurs .

Tbf, we weren't outplayed in Madrid.
3 catastrophic slips. That was the difference.
 
So Forest will have a Europa home game just before Villa (who might also be in Europa but would have an away game).

Then Forest would have the 2nd leg (away in Portugal or Germany) a few days before they play Burnley.

If we were to beat Forest we'd have a chance to hurdle Leeds in the table this weekend, they're only 2 points ahead of us now.

By the time we play we'll know the result of Leeds' visit to Brentford, but Villa will be hosting the Spam simultaneous to our match so there's no chance we could be in the relegation zone at first kick.

We could only be 18th on Sunday evening if we were to lose to Forest and Spam won away at 4th place Villa. Of course Villa have lost 3 on the trot

Just get us 3 feckin points so we don't have to think about these things...

I know this is a bit ” meta ” , and with all and complete respect to Brother Jenderbazzfass ; how in the name of all that’s holy has it come to this ……

TLDR : even if ( when ) we get out of this ; we HAVE to keep questioning how we ever got here in the first place .
