Feel like it because of our latest performances. In my books we are as good as relegated. That clears up to my mind finally after seeining that pathtetic performance against Sunderland. We didnt had a chance against Sunderland and that "brainfart" from Cisse just underlined that. Seemingly great win against Liverpool is now much understandable after seeing weak wigan beat them and better yet at andfield. Our team is just a bunch of rich footballers who are playing for money week after week with poor result. As Cisse's latest "brainfart" showed they are not focused what they are doing and as a result from that we will slide even deeper on the league table. I am very disapointed with Mark Hughes because i was sure he would get us out of trouble but with much "better" players he has got us much bigger trouble as Warnock ever did.


I know it is very pessimistic point of wiew ,but after seeing every single match we have played this season and about hundred other matches i came to this grinding conclusion. If however our team proves me wrong i will be over the moon and would be sorry what i've just wrote. Sadly so i wont be holding my breath to expecting that marvellous thing to happen.
 
It aint over yet Igor the Tiger, not by a long chalk. Never ever give up. Hold onto your horses pal, this is gonna be one helluva ride home.
 
No matter how disasterously people say it's been this season, we're still 1 pt off safety and are in there with a chance.
 
We need the Mackie spirit - and if we go down, we go down fighting like Python's black knight (only with fewer injuries please)

Kieran Dyer's taken the injury quota so the rest should be fine.
 
Time for the full Churchill quote then when all looked lost after Dunkirk, "Nations that go down fighting rise again, those that surrender tamely are finished"
 
Not trying to be pedantic but isn't the term 'tilting at windmills' the correct phraseology?

At this point I must admit to having sampled a few glasses of red at lunchtime so I might be mixing my metaphors.

Ahh the British Summertime, there's nothing like it. Snow forecast Monday.

Sadly ,that hasn't excactly been our teams motto this season. Im quite optimistic person normally but seeing that Sunderland match did really open my eyes because our display was stereotype of already relegated team , no guts , no proper effort and totally unfocused long periods throughtout the match. Yes ,i know there's still 24 points to get but really.....?

Think you're right in a Quixote sort of way
 
This is where we Play them! This is where we Beat Them! This is where they lose! Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time… Rangers, prepare for glory !

Time for heroes ;)
 
Some may say that we're like a platform load of would-be passengers waiting for the last train home that we know will never arrive, but we're behaving like it is going to arrive at any moment, and if by some miracle it does then we can all say that we knew all along that it would come after all; yes, some may say that, but not me.
 
I feel the same way, theres only so many times you can be kicked in the balls before you learn from it.

Sadly, it looks like the players have given in too, something Id never do as a player.

The Black Knight wasn't very good, was he? And, although he would never admit it, he did lose, didn't he? Rather badly, in fact.

Yes, it's the spirit of never say die, I was trying to capture Rodney. But now that you mention it, he did die, but at least he never said it!
