Well it is the first thing that comes to mind when your name crops up as you are usually stuck so far up Albert's arse..
I believe they did/do. (I`m not allowed to go there because they`re a bad influence). I think it`s about our relegation which is a source of continual disappointment. We just can`t seem to win it.
It's annoying now, to be honest. Being relegated by your enemies is apparently the best thing that could ever happen to you. I want to get relegated
The cause of the relegation is unimportant. So long as things improve as a result then relegation would be an ok thing. My only concern is our squad is nowhere PL quality. We are currently miles behind you and no offence, you're fodder to most of the PL. We wil need to spend mega to stay up and that alone poses issues. Should it all click and we do a Leicester (or be better than before) then yes, relegation was good. If we wind up being mediocre at best again then it was fruitless and sets us back more than ever.
1) Absolute bollocks 2) I would agree to being fodder to about 7 or 8 teams. We are the same as the rest. Our last few games have proved that.
The aftermath was managed poorly. Bringing in an oaf like Pardew was a mistake. Followed by the subsequent hiring of McClown and the creased faced one. Do I feel more confident with Rafa? Yes I do. Although I don't think he will be with us for more than 2 more seasons. Again. What is done afterwards dictates how things go.
There would need to be the most almighty lash up for you to miss promotion this season. By far the strongest squad in that league. As you say it`s what happens when you get here that matters. Only Ashley can deal with that.
