I hope those that parroted the company line about Cortese overspending and getting us into debt take note of the above. Whilst remembering that no club ever went bankrupt whilst *in* the PL. The moment he went was the moment we stopped having a board that chased success, and started having one that chased profit. For their own gain.
No regrets, it’s been one hell of a ride. Fate, as Tim Minchin suggested is “an inherently flawed notion” for reasons which are obvious to those who think about it, although people rarely do. The same goes for Karma. As for playing in the Championship next year, I recall Kipling’s exceedingly good remarks; “If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same...” ... I am tempted to say, you are unlikely to find this forum much to your liking
You guys totally given up hope then? Still got 4 games to go whilst you're 4 points behind Swansea. Its not impossible. Beat Bournemouth and beat Swansea and you're pretty much there! Need Swansea to help you out and they have Chelsea next.
I haven’t, no. But we’re not terribly good at beating people, and we have to rely on Swansea doing nothing. Squeaky bum time.
Yeah. Certainly running out of time very quickly. Must beat Bournemouth. If you do then there will be a big confidence boost.
We need to beat Bournemouth Saturday and win away at Swansea at the very minimum and hope Chelsea and Bournemouth beat Swansea .......then its squeaky bum time all round, but first we must win Saturday or the fat lady will start warming up her voice.
I'm already nervous about it. Thing is, if we can't beat Bournemouth at home, along with not taking three points from any of the promoted sides, we kinda deserve to go down.
Sounds so easy, but the reality is we have won one league game in 20 which was against West Brom. Winning 2 on the bounce would be incredible. The fact that we are even in with a shout of staying up after that run just shows how terrible the league has been this season.
I'd rather not have had our season dependant on us beating Bournemouth, being a local derby of sorts, they will be motivated more than most I suspect. It ain't going to be a picnic at SMS on Saturday...
Going to reply to my own comment. To look at it positively, if we get 6 points from our next two and Huddersfield get 1 from theirs, they will be 1 point ahead with 2 to play. Two wins on the trot should be easy for us?
