    20th in the league for goals scored since the international break.
    20th in the league for conversion rate.
    20th in the league for chances created.
    19th in the league for shots on goal.
    18th for percentage of crosses completed.

    We are where we are for a reason and no club is too 'big' to go down.

    Right now, it's very realistic that we go down, especially as we don't seem to be doing anything about the manager out of his depth.

    Yeaaah the stats are woeful but we all know you're not going down.

    This isn't actually a rarity to see a big club struggle for a period. Look at us last season before Poch got sacked, we were all looking at relegation and thinking "sweet, cheaper season tickets". Leicester after they won the league too were utter gash for a spell. Utd have even teetered with it. Chelsea also like Leicester had a gash season after they won the league.

    Might need a change of manager but you won't go down. If I didn't have an avatar bet with Bob again I'd offer one to anyone that thought you'd go down. Though come to think of it, I'm currently 0/3 on avatar bets so maybe I'm not the most assuring <laugh>

    <laugh> What the **** is he looking at? The ball's coming straight at him and it's like it's invisible. Just leave it, FFS.

    I would've wagered the right to give HSBC a massive bollocking on my behalf, but thanks to Tier 4 I won't be getting my copy of Ghost of Tsushima on Christmas morning and somebody's got to feel my wrath...

    So remember how, eighteen months ago, a few of us were annoyed that Joachim Andersen signed for Lyon having been linked with us?

    Yeah, in retrospect...

    But wouldn't it be hilarious if they were relegated?

    AFTV might chill out if they did

    Mainly due to the first livestreamed example of spontaneous human combustion thinning out the regulars

    Nooooooooooooooooo.
    They cheated to get into the top division. Everything they have achieved since, league wise, is tarnished with that cheat. Being relegated and re promoted would legitimise anything they do in the future.

    NB. Relegation after relegation after relegation and a survival fight to stay in Div 2 would put a smile on my face though.

    Is it just me...or is it a little less funny now that the realisation has sunk in that they are properly **** and not lions led by a series of donkeys?

    The Flanderization process set in long ago

    It started when Claude drunkenly slurring "It's time to go" became a catchphrase that would get cheers from the assembled berks trying to get on camera, but all of the regulars have an easily-identifiable schtick at this point that can easily be clipped into short videos or GIFs

    I'm going to hazard a guess this is why Troopz left the channel earlier this year

    We have not reached the "critical mass" where the majority
    think the former and not the latter (the Ty fighter :) ) .

    I know they lost 6-2 but leeds played good football, attacked and should have scored 4 or 5 at least.
    They went down fighting no matter how hard the fight seemed.

    Don't get my hopes up by saying "Leeds" and "went down" in the same sentence...

    Imagine one day in a pub quiz someone asks "Who was the first player to score twice in the first three minutes of a Premier League match?" and the answer is Scott McTominay <laugh>.

    Prem's been home to some of the best strikers/ attacking mids football has seen and yet a combative CM holds that record. Football... Never fails to surprise you.
