Chelsea fans calling into Talksport saying they'd rather relegate Spurs than win the FA Cup
Course they would. I’m desperate to win the fa cup but if we had the chance to relegate them I’d want it as much. I thought Leeds played last night like they were desperate to send us down. They won’t play like that against West Ham. No chance.
Our only hope now is that West Ham can’t pick up another point. We go into the last day in eighteenth and I think we go down. The blew it massively last night.
Son hopping on one leg is better than what we have.
Said it since day one of the season. We should never have let Son go. A reckless decision.
Our attack is terrible. None of them are going to get over ten goals a season. We are partly where we are because we are so bad in the final third. It’s a championship attack and that’s why we are heading there.
They already had. Yesterday's penalty check is less than 20 secs.
Sorry, but I have had enough of such 'they lose we stay up' kinda posts. They could win their last game against Leeds, and we lose both our remaining games to go down still.
Which I have a feeling they will roll over for spammers.
You are assuming that we accumulate zero points from our remaining 2 games against Chelsea and Everton?
Son’s body like Salah was on the major decline. It’s not losing Son it’s not replacing him. We got offered Lookman who’ll get you 10 or so goals but Lange didn’t want a stress purchase and to instead wait till summer so he can buy another unready kid.
A club that can’t sell a declining player due to not being capable of buying a replacement is a fucking mess of a club. That stress purchase bollocks from Lange is why if we go down we went down plus getting and keeping Frank for so long which Lange seemingly was also a big part of.
In short Lange fucked us.
The catalogue of poor decisions is quite astonishing.
We can blame numerous other factors but our capacity for self-destruction has no equal.
Keep Son and promise a January sell if we are doing okay, but no.
Negative thinking, we play away at Chelsea and are absolutely shite at home, I don't think i'm going to watch the final couple of games any way, I'm just done with football this season, it seems to scripted, I know people might say there looked like the faintest of touches but that to me is a pen all day long yesterday, but they didn't give it as they want to keep things till the last day, also where the fuck does 13 minutes on Extra time come from?
We have been ticking the boxes one by one of what teams that get relegated do. That would be the last one I guess.
There’s not a better time to play them. Their club is in disarray and the timing of the cup final works in our favour.
Our fate is balanced on a knife’s edge. I felt more confident after the Villa game as you’d take Spam’s last two fixtures over ours.
Ihmmmm...
I wouldn't want to go to Newcastke. If they are up for it, and I think they will be, it's a hard (not unwinnable however) game for West Ham.
Everton is a hard last game, but we might only need a draw. Might.
I have a feeling that the Newcastle strike force will come up trumps on Sunday, but as always with such things that might simply be hope over evidence.
I don’t think that’s an unpopular view at all. Son is still better than all our forwards except Kudus.
For me losing Son was a bigger deal off the pitch than on it.
On the pitch he may have nabbed a few more goals but we've all said for a couple of seasons now that his legs were going.
It's off the pitch he's left a massive hole. He galvanised the squad. He was the glue and he wouldn't have let standards slip as easily as they have.
I hope you’re right!
Yeah I do. We are now unbeaten in 4 games with 8 points on the board. Leeds pressed the fuck out of us, why would they not do a similar job to West Ham? Newcastle aren't going to be easy at home for their last home game of the season are they? Why are Everton going to beat us? I could argue that West Ham get 1 point in their next 2 games, which means we could pack our cases and go on holiday. It's in our hands.
I get it we are all fucking annoyed at the moment at the position we are in, but we control our own destiny.
I think Sonny needed to go, his legs were gone and going out on a high was the perfect ending, what we should have done though is replaced him properly , broke the bank and wage structure but then we never even tried to replace Kane, we have a habit of selling our top goal scorers without replacing them, I know Brennan got a lot of Hate but if we actually tried to replace his goals as well then we wouldn't be in this mess, and I'm not buying Kudus was his replacement, as he got injured while the window was still open - FAFO springs to mind for our ownership!
