We've been undone by two of the most ridiculous own goals and a **** referee decision. However staunch you are in your weird hatred of Pearson, you know deep down that we were unlucky today.

We get the same amount of bad luck as everyone else. Just we don't get any good luck.

I can't remember the last time something good happened to us that's made me think "we didn't deserve that".
We'd be going down even if we were a lucky side, because we're just not clinical enough and our defence loves to gift goals away.

Shut up soft lad.

Chadli missed two absolute sitters and Erikson hit the post.

The score line flattered you.

I don't hate Pearson, I'm indifferent to him if anything.

In the Premier League you often make your own luck. The refereeing this season has been terrible, but other teams have managed to win despite them, why haven't you? The answer lies within your team. Pearson bought poorly when you needed major investment in your squad. It's nice to think that the players that brought you up could keep you up, but in reality if you aren't willing to spend a decent amount of money on Premier League quality, you're going to suffer. I mean, a back 3 of Upson (who had been playing in the Championship and is at the arse end of his career), Morgan (who has the turning circle of an oil tanker) and Huth (the only one of your backline that's actually Premier League quality) doesn't exactly scream 'Premier League safety'.

The 'best' worst team to ever go down from the Prem were Nottingham Forest in the inaugural season with 40pts. There were 22 teams back then though, which AKCJ will probably use as an excuse as to why they got that many points.

The 'best' worst team to ever go down from the Prem in a 38 game season is actually jointly held by three teams - Palace (97/98), Wolves (03/04) and West Ham (10/11). All of whom got 33pts.

As Leicester are currently on 19pts, they'll have to do quite a lot to become the 'best' worst team.


In comparison, if they were to finish with the 19pts they are currently on, they would become the fourth team to finish with less than 20 pts after Sunderland (19 in 02/03, 15 in 05/06), Derby (11 in 07/08) and Portsmouth (19 in 09/10).

Didn't Pompey have a points deduction that season? (Or am I thinking of the one after?)

QPR have been more unlucky with refereeing decisions and all three of Leicester, QPR and Burnley have played some good football at times - maybe more than Hull City, Sunderland and Aston Villa. Hull City's problem has been injuries, failure to take chances and, earlier in the season, poor defending.
 
Injuries obviously played a part and some bad defending (and giving the ball away), but also not creating enough chances and being too defensive at times. Earlier in the season when we first played Diame we were actually very attacking. It's so annoying as well when you get teased about how good a player is and then they get a long injury.

Chelsea now becomes a shot to nothing.Get beat and were no worse off and another games chalked off, but any points we can take will widen the gap and tighten up the title race

Except we don't want to get badly beaten. We've got a decent goal difference to protect.

I've already got the train set. Mind you, a few more engines wouldn't go amiss. I'd really like a Scalexstric. I never had one of those. I had a Triang Minic Motorway. Brilliant but not as fast. Thanks for that! It made me forget that there's a match on. Who cares about that? I'm looking up Scalextric on e-bay.

You poor, neglected sod.

I've never been neglected. When I was young, my dad had a choice: take me out of the cupboard or take the Minic out. He always thought about it for three seconds before he chose the Minic.
