Worked though, didn't it.

We spent most of the 90's being mid-table with cup runs and pretty much never had to worry of being relegated. Relegation would be the worse thing for this club so to be in this much shit 2 years running, we need to realise that, unless we get bought by a billionaire Qatar resident, then we won't go for it as you say.
We spent the last 25 years not challenging for the league as Levy had the same mindset as you.
 
Absolutely buzzing this morning , I’m sure the players will be as well , however we need to remember this is far from over , the light is at the end of the tunnel however we need to get there , I get people will say “Villa made subs” however we have been absolutely terrible , so it doesn’t matter who was playing we deserved that win!
Whatever RDZ is doing in training he needs to keep at it , put in that effort against Leeds and we have more than enough to get the 3 points!

It’s notable he emphasised we have to remember how we felt before wolves. He knows this lot are mentally weak and will take the foot of the gas if they feel like they are safe. He wants to keep his foot on the other team’s throats. Let’s hope the players do too.
 


Makes me laugh how West Ham and Chelsea fans think the whole country feel the same way they do. Sure, most teams would smirk if any big club went down.
But my usual feeling every season is I'd like to see Spam out of the way and anyone else who tends to play shitty horrible football. The Dyche-Burnley. Everyone behind the ball and hope for a clean sheet. Time wasters, cheaters, divers etc. Get rid of them.
I don't start every season wishing Arse, Chels and Spam go. It's good to have derbies and high stake games.
Spam as a team don't bother me, it's their mental fans. Just. Fuck off spammers. You're like bunny boiler exes ffs.

It's a really weird one.

Obviously, we don't want to be anywhere near the relegation zone. It's a symptom of how much the club hierarchy have mismanaged us, etc, etc...

And yet, if we escape relegation... it's been a somewhat catalysing end of the season. There's something about this which is bonding the players and fans more than if we'd have just slumped to a shite 15th place finish. Something which is showing De Zerbi's mettle and might just set us up well for next season.

Am I insane? Is there not a silver lining in all of this that it exposes all of our failings in an undeniable way? (spotlight very much on ENIC now)

I said it the season Leicester stayed up. They had a run of form so good it was title winning worthy.
Annoyed I didn't put my money where my mouth is.

If we were to win 5 on the bounce, including Villa and Chelsea away, with 50% of our squad missing, you'd have to have some belief there's a lot to come from this club.
 
Job far from done but feeling a hell of a lot more optimistic. Spam play their game the day before ours. If they lose, Leeds are mathematically safe from relegation so hopefully that’ll work in our favour. Still one game at a time!

I live up north now so most fan are United or Liverpool. There isn’t a hate as such but most would like us to go down because it would be ‘funny’ and I have heard the word ‘funny’ mentioned multiple times. That isn’t the view of West Ham and I don’t think it was the view of Newcastle or Villa when they went down.

The underlying reason that is simply inescapable is that at least sub-consciously we are viewed as a bigger club than Villa, Newcastle or West Ham and what follows is it’s hilarious to see a big club fall away even if it’s an underachieving big club. One of the ‘top 6’ and again I have heard the phrase ‘top 6’ mentioned a few times getting relegated.

City fans on the other hand want us down because we always beat them for some reason and they think it means they will have a better season if we are not there which I do understand.
 
Look how rattled so many rival fans are for us having the audacity to win a game with, for once, a favourable fixture (with half our team out though they keep conveniently forgetting).

The tantrums on my timeline are incredible. If we stay up a piss boiling world record will be broken.
