Have you watched Leicester or Chelsea recently?

It's utter madness to suggest Leicester & Chelsea will slip away, while their performances suggest the opposite, while expecting us to win 4 or 5 in a row, when our performances indicate we couldn't win against a five-a-side team.

What fucking planet are some of you on.
You’re right - Chavs and Leicester will win 26 games in a row
 
All I am saying mate is that to write relegation off and say it isn't possible is dangerous, people wrote Leicester off when they won the league.

Confidence can do strange things in sports, it can carry you to amazing feats, the same thing can happen with a lack of confidence, it can completely kill a season and a club in a very short period of time.

And even if we don't get relegated, we still need a change, so whilst you say everything is not doom and gloom I would counter that with well, what positives can we really take from a season where we finish mid-table with no trophies? The only positive would be we didn't get relegated, that's not something to celebrate.
I get that, as I said its abysmal and shit needs to change. But we aren't getting relegated, that's an exaggeration that I think distracts from the point. This isn't acceptable, period.

To the last bit, suppose we win the FA Cup whilst finishing 7th. Does Poch stay? Does he deserve to? Is this season a "success" then? I'd say certainly not.
 
I don't think we're too good to go down but we'll be saved by the amount of dross in the league.

I'd be absolutely gobsmacked if we get top 4 though. Been to four matches so far and seen the rest on TV and there is nothing that makes me think we'll get anywhere near it. We are bereft of confidence, playing badly and look disjointed. Where is the massive uptick coming from? I can't see it.
 
I thought we would beat Sheffield United. So two points dropped there. And by the sounds of it lucky to get a win.

A lot resting on Kane’s shoulders now. Or Son. Sure as fuck not Winks and Sissoko to weigh in with some goals.

But we need goals. As we can’t defend for shit.
 
The league is so tight outside the top four though, there's only 3 points between 5th and 15th and out of all those teams only 4 have a positive goal difference...one of them is us...
