Championship here we come

The **** needs to hit the fan, we are shocking and the best we can hope for is premiership safety
How can we become champions league potentials to championship realists in six months
I can tell you MIKE BLOODY ASHLEY and his yes man.
At least in the championship we will have both boro and smb to play
Rant over

 

Can't see us in the Championship, hopefully we get lucky with injuries after Christmas and get a full squad back. Calling for the Championship now is niave.

 

Really?

 

??? The run of games we have had west ham at home 0 points
Swansea at home 0 points and today well ??
Imagine playing man city etc it will be a cricket store
We have be shocking all season

 

Over-reaction much?

 

We're fortunate that this game against relegation certainty's isn't a cricket score if I'm honest.

 

I agree!!! we our being raped during the easiest run of fixtures we get all season!!! we will lose Ban Arfa and or Cabaye at Christmas and people that wanted to suck off Ashley will realise he never wanted the success we got last season in the first place. He just wants to make profit from player sales, fill the stadium and sell shirts thats it.

 

Unfortunately we have some fairweather fans mate, just the way it goes

 

I am not tAlking about today being a cricket score I am talking about against the top teams it could be

 

Fair weather, I said the same the season we went down at the same time of the season and everybody sat with their heads in the air saying all is gravy in the toon

 

I guess Pardew will keep saying what he said week in week out at West Ham and say we will trun things around!!!! well I've got news for you Alan and that is if you keep doing the same things we will get the same results.

 

Completely different state the club is in, you need to give yourself a shake, its fairweather if you just want a new manager every time you have a rough patch

 

I said it weeks ago and I will say it again and again till the end of the season. We are relegation fodder at the moment. The squad harmony is not there. Players who where stars last season have had their heads turned and Pardew is tactically woeful.

You can blame Ashley maybe... but Pardews job is to tell him how it is. We NEEDED MORE PLAYERS AND EVERY MAN WOMAN AND DOG WHO EVER WATCHED US KNEW IT. Yet we shipped players and replaced them with dross.

My uncle said to me there are worse teams than us in the league...... These are:

Southampton - we are losing and likely to lose.
Reading - We drew
Aston Villa - We drew
Sunderland(yes i said it) - We drew

So.............here is to a long and horrible season.

OP is correct to be jumping and sounding it now... the reality is my friends we are a poor team and we ARE in for a relegation fight!

 

Mate you're dealing with people that have not realised yet.

 

Sorry mate I was to busy sitting out in the sunshine and listening to the birds tweating.
Agree club is in a different place now but it's on the pitch that it counts

 

Ralf Rangnick, help!

 

The facts:
We're playing awful football.
We've been losing playing awful football.
Pardew hasn't changed tactics despite the facts.
The players aren't playing well.
However, Pardew can change the tactics
We have had injuries.
We are still above Sunderland.
Mathematically we can finish anywhere.

Yes I'm pissed, whilst recent form is that of a team to get relegated I highly doubt we will end up there. The worrying thing is the players don't seem to play with any desire, they talk about it but it just isn't there.

 

The problem I have with this thread, is that it's not even half way through the season and we aren't in a relegation spot anyway...

I understand the emotion and the passion, but if we go down at the end of the campaign, so be it. I had a blast in the championship, it's not the end of the world. Let's try and enjoy playing in the premier league, show the lads we have faith, and show other teams why we have a great support!

Realistically we aren't a massive club in any sense, and last season was over-achieving and the team and manager should get thanks for that. We don't have the financial capacity to spend billions and compete with a lot of the teams here, and that's not the owner's fault. Everyone was saying how well run we were last season. Reasonably we all knew this, and the majority predicted between 8th and 11th. Still on as I see it.

 

Things were going well though then, the weather was set fair

Always been this way with our support, its why we get branded deluded and fickle

 

Where will our points come from if we continue in this vein? Stoke (A) Wigan (H) Fulham (A ) Man, C (H ) QPR (H) Man U (A) Arsenal (A) Everton (H)

Wigan should be 3 pts but which side will turn up, QPR 3 points but "Harry" could work his magic by then, the rest forget it.
