I simply don't see the where the heart and fight comes from , these players are still doing what they were doing earlier in the season and last season .
I don't see the passion .
I am worried , we're too big a club to go down but we are playing so bad we well could .

With the very real possibility that we get zero points from wolves and Newcastle that leaves us 18 matches to get the 12 points to get to 35. When will we be safe?

I think we need 40/41 points at least, never going to happen. Biggest mistake in World, going to cost Millions, because we binned Levy and brought in some ex gooner, to run the show, he could not run a bath.. interesting re Kolo Muaini disallowed goal. Hand in the back yes. Gooner shot by a sniper with his star jump, total crap. Refs watch pushing shoving grappling ,holding in box especially with gooners, and do nothing. No penalties ever given! Why ? Struck off goal for hand in the back! Total crap again. But starting the muppet, i give ball away akways Simons ! With his silly hair style, means we started with 10 men. He is abysmal.
 
I mean ultimately it all comes down to the fucking lies we were told about the stadium and sustainability/long term competitiveness.

We had the best young team in the league with numerous generational talents, that was legitimately competing to win the league and champions league, all they needed was one our two more impact players and a bit of depth. Over three seasons instead they got: N’koudou, Foyth, Wanyama, Sissoko, Janssen, Davinson, Llorente, Aurier, and Moura. That was with yearly UCL money! But we were told repeatedly we couldn’t invest in the side because it wasn’t sustainable until the stadium opened.

And now there’s zero evidence that the stadium has made us more financially competitive, we’re still in the same spot in the hierarchy, maybe even further down. Still painfully behind on wage structure. The stadium, while very nice, was more for Levy’s ego than leveling the field financially. The only thing that matters is ownership that is willing to spend and ENIC will never do that.

Never again should we fooled by the business of sport bollocks, the only business of sport that actually matters is what occurs on the pitch.

Every other club will be licking their lips at the thought of contributing results that send Spurs down. Make no mistake, we had support today from the anti-Woolwich brigade but now that’s over and done with, we will be the “big” club everyone would love to see go down.
 
I now believe that we ma well be about to get related......holy shit.....how is this even possible..
If this isn't enough for mass protest then nothing ever will be . .ffs come on , let's get rid of these parasites

Maybe you'll care when we are lumbered in the championship for a long time, because we can't afford to buy better players than other clubs.

Personally I would hate to go down, because of the consequences for the future but if that's different to other people than that's ok.

But I do agree with you on our recruitment of dross.

Im being slightly tongue in cheek obviously.

We can address buying better players than other clubs now. We just have an uncanny knack of not.

It's hard to believe we actually ended the trophy drought last year because take that out and it's been a miserable inexorable march towards the bottom of the league over the past few years.

There's something rotten at the core of the club. I know there's a huge risk in going down and I don't want it. But maybe im mentally trying to prepare myself for it by rationalising any potential benefit in it. If we stay up by the skin of our teeth I just dont see anything changing.

We finished 17th last year after all. This form isn't a huge surprise. People assumed I guess our league form was a one off. We have had 2 transfer windows to strengthen and, yes we have spent some money, but boy have we done it badly as usual!

Oh for the feeling of winning a league game..... :(

Having seen us play in our last five matches I'm nowhere near as confident as you we'll get 6 points from our next five games.

We're obviously not good but people are seriously underestimating how bad you have to be to actually get relegated.

I think we beat Palace and pick up one more result in the other 4.

West Ham would need 10 points in their next 5 to catch up to us in that scenario. I just don't think that happens.
