It helped that the 3 relegated teams only won 5 games between them from their last 57 games (Jan onwards) last season.
European football still possible next season then........
Jeez. I am nowhere near as optimistic as you. I see a team that is shot and scared as fuck. Win tonight though, and that could turn a corner. We have the ability - if the confidence returns - to get out of this. No question.
I do wonder if the ‘won’t stop talking about Woolwich’ is a convenient excuse for these wasters because us as fans would align with that statement.Exhibit A.
Exhibit B.
Thomas Frank's praise of Woolwich reportedly rubbed the Tottenham squad up the wrong way. Sacked Spurs boss Thomas Frank reportedly would not stop talking about Woolwich to his players, so much so that there was a feeling of “just shut up about Woolwich.”
If you think that's bad have a look at the available tickets for Athletico Madrid. They have hardly sold any - quite scary.Yeah, I looked at tickets for tonight and it's half empty. They're trying to charge £63-£100 for this match, and ain't no-one paying that for a team playing like we are this season - but because 70% of the stadium is Season Ticket sales now, they can't drop prices to fill up seats so we end up playing to empty seats.
This is availability for tonight's game in my usual area:
Is it Too late to join superleague
ENIC would consider in and around the top 6 as success.
LOL. That's CL last 16!
That and there are some of them that think that they are too big for the shirt. Which is a completely different type of mentality problem but just as damning.
And they thought that making it a Cat C was a work of genius.No wonder we wanted in, there was no promotion or relegation.
WW3 breaking out before the end of the season looks our best bet of avoiding the drop.
Ah, that would partly explain it, at least for now. It seems that most ST holders (at least those not on the Cup Ticket Scheme) didn't take the club up on the offer they couldn't refuse.
Fair playYou do seem rather obsessed with me, specifically an unfortunate phrase in a post of mine - "imagined misery".
It was a poor choice of words, no doubt. Mea culpa.
In my defence, you and others have taken my words out of context somewhat. It was in reply to someone saying IF we could somehow rustle up a win after rivals and lost, THEN, they wondered, would people stop panicking. And of course, we couldn't, so my point becomes even more irrelevant.
So my post, and the contentious phrase, was imagining that scenario. My point - badly expressed - was that a certain group of people would cling on to wallowing in misery (as we saw immediately after Bilbao, for example). I stand by that, but obviously not the idea that any misery during the Fulham game or now is "imagined", of course it isn't.
Can we move on now?
It sends out a message that failure won't be tolerated ,especially after Romero's tweets. We didn't do enough in January , nowhere near enough and there has to be consequences. Get rid now !
Well you're a little fucking ray of sunshine, ain't ya?
