I know how you are all feeling and after going through one of these last day nightmares 3 or 4 times I wouldnt wish it on anyone.
We had most of the country wanting us to get relegated but somehow we managed to pull through as I think you will on Sunday.
If we play anything like we did against Sunderland where we were already on the beach i dont think you will have a problem , I dont think you will need a result as Leeds will beat West Ham .
Your biggest worry is players hiding on the day , the pressure will be immense but the rewards are a high probably bigger than winning a trophy.
May the best team win

I really don't know if I can watch this one.
It's good to get a perspective from a rival fan. Were you surprised that we offered to pay £60m for Richarlison? What are your thoughts on Ndiaye and Dewsbury-Hall?
In some ways yes, in some ways no...
If Woolwich today were the Woolwich team of the 90s then it would be awful, because they were/would be everything that we wanted to be as a football side. That, coupled with the addition of social media, unbearable online fans, and wall to wall coverage, would be a nightmare.
As it is, mercifully, their unique brand of expensive Haram-Ball under that utter weirdo Arteta has earned them the respect of no-one, they are winning the worst title race in years, where City only decided to switch on for ~ the final 1/3 of the season, and the nearest rival behind that is a Man Utd team that were calamitous prior to appointing fresh of a sacking at Middlesbrough Michael Carrick as their latest OGS.
Nobody is jealous of this Woolwich team, they play 4 centrebacks (all of whom cost £40m+) and 2 dms, and spam set-pieces, not to mention all of the blatant cheating they get away with. They can jerk themselves off all they like, nobody cares, and nobody will acknowledge them as anything special, and in a couple of weeks hopefully we'll be treated to them getting utterly demolished by PSG.
Now if they win that, then maybe this becomes the worst case scenario.
That’s what I would go with. Maybe Maddison left but better footballers than yday
If ever we truly could use a 7-1 win..... Hang in there, mate.
I personally like Richy but I was surprised we got 60 million for him , Ndiaye and Dewsbury Hall have had good seasons but the last few weeks they have been shattered .Moyes doesnt rotate the squad so we have players who have hardly had a break all season especially Ndiaye who played in the African Cup.
Dont be surprised if KDH does not play on Sunday as he looked like he was carrying an injury against Sunderland.
Cheers Mikel A.
Absolutely. They already had one foot in the championship , twice. We've let them off the hook and everything is a bonus for them now. We blew a massive points gap , yes they have also blown their smaller lead but is there one more twist. Football has a habit of twists and turns and being unpredictable.
Anything could happen but tbh we are more unreliable and defensively poorer than even West Ham.
We all think this at times but you damn well know you will, my friend!
I’m going to the beach on Saturday so… get drunk and lay in the sun or have my guts ripped out by Spurs. Tough callWe all think this at times but you damn well know you will, my friend!
Mobile devices. We'll make sure our cult leaders will find a way to keep you ITK to ruin your day on the beach.
If it weren’t for Sol being the most persecuted man in human history, he’d own the VAR company and the PGMOL.
(At least, this is something he might think)
Well the game's on Sunday, so...Mobile devices. We'll make sure our cult leaders will find a way to keep you ITK to ruin your day on the beach.
I'll be there for a week...
OK, but "going to the beach on Saturday" implies that it's exclusively a Saturday problem, next time just say that you're going on holiday then...
big love Nutty! 7-1 coming and we know it!
But the cup run and the so called "throwing league games" to get there led to us finishing in our lowest position.
We qualified for the CL and we did try to sign genuine, proven talent. But that talent declined to join a team that, despite being in the CL, finished 17th.
It's all linked. The players we had to settle for were not of a high enough standard.
We're going to have the exact same problem this summer if we stay up. Nobody good wants to join a team that survived by the skin of their teeth.
To me, you focus on finishing as high as possible and if there's enough in the tank for a cup run go for it.
That should always be the priority.
Let's not forget that we're battling WHU who themselves won the Conference league and went deep the next season in the Europa league. It's taken it out of them too.
We HAVE to stop conceding so many free kicks and corners late in games.
