I am getting incredibly fed up with always first for favourite to be relegated. The latest is sky burying the odds as the same as wigan. Paul was a mnager and Hsu a part to play but Chris is a manager with. Good track record and we have thw majority of the same players plus a few good additions. Qpr spent big last drain and were 'always safe' with barton and wright-Philips etc and look where they ended. They have done the same again and again everyone reckons they are safe agin. Wigan dont look strong, fulham are seriously weakened, west ham I think will struggle, southampton I put on a par with us, reading a little below. Then put te ams like stoke, villa, Everton, etc that I honestly think we can beat and i am positive that we will do ok. I just feel frustrated that we are relegation favpurites all the time. And sorry for spelling but doing this on my phone with my.newborn on my chest
This should lighten your mood http://footballblog.co.uk/relegation-battle-1213-swansea-city-norwich-city-reading.html
congrats on the new born not too concerned to be honest by the pundits and bookies. when you read their assessments it often makes me laugh, especially reading the newly promoted teams write ups. they are regurgitated from last year except you can swap norwich and swansea with reading and saints. qpr and west ham share the same reports, based purely it seems on the fact they are from london and have spent lots of money on wages... its all a bit amateurish and its incredibly rare any of these previewers do any research.
Don´t worry Dave, it´s a sure sign we´ll stay up, and with something to spare, you want to start really worrying when they back us to hold our own one year.
I am pretty sure that implies that Paul lambert played every position for us and without him we are conference at best
to be fair, i've probably read just as many reports by pundits which have stated they feel we'll survive again as i've read who say we'll go down. i think most people suspect we'll be bottom 6, therefore, we'll be a realistic tip for the drop for many.
Also my dad was disappointed to find that the Norwich city babygrows only start at 3 months. With me living in Manchester and my partner's whole family supporting united I need to start brainwashing asap
I personally can't see past Fulham, WBA and Reading as the three to go down with Wigan and West Sham also flirting with danger but just about having enough to survive
...and also big congrats from me as well on the newborn - that'll be me in a month's time! (give or take a few days)
SHOCK NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Manchester United fans found living in manchester! BTW, Congrats on the newborn!
wasn't there a poll done the other day which obliterated the myth that the people of manchester only support citeh? i suspect it included the surrounding areas but they polled it something like 55% united, 45% citeh
Its more the case that there are very few non mancs watch city (which I guess will change), but there are hoards of Irish, londoners and scandinavians helping to fill old trafford week in week out. I have to travel to Norway quite a bit and whichever plane I've flown in on a sunday or Monday is full of scandinavians, bizarre
