    100%, but there's no point letting it get to you; just laugh and do what I do. We all have to realise this isn't NUFC. This is in fact the most unlikeable club in the World, with the most loathesome owner/MD/manager combo you could possibly wish for.

    As of right now I'm a Spurs fan. Then a Watford fan. Then a Liverpool fan. I'll be cheering on every team taking on Sports Direct FC until the fat cockney w@nker sods off. Then we can all do our best to gather up the remains and make this club great again. Nobody should want anything associated with Ashley to succeed.

    At the beginning of the season people were pointing out that there were worse teams than us, one of them being Norwich. As they turned us over with ease at the weekend, i think it's safe to say we are doomed with Bruce as manager. If we were able to get someone with an ounce of tactical knowledge, we might not be that awful......but that's not going to happen is it.

    We are not down. There are 36 games left to play.

    We may be going down, but that's months away.

    And we are NUFC. While I can't imagine how it will happen, I will be wanting Spurs, Liverpool and every other team to lose to us.

    Reckon Bruce will have gone by 1st February and someone will come in who can actually instill tactics and manage and **** and we'll have enough in those last few months to survive.

    If Bruce really was 12th on the list, do we really want No 13 coming in after the transfer window and trying to drag us out of a relegation scrap?

    I am a bit but I think its just that Monday feeling after another loss. I am going to the gym shortly so will feel better after that. Thanks for your concern.

    Quite a simple one, no. Anyone saying yes is talking ****. You can say you think we may go down, but you certainly can't pretend we're already done. Last season should have told us that.

    No we're not down. Do I think we'll be down if we do a whole season with Bruce? Prior to the opening two games I would have said he'll do well to **** it up with that squad. Based on watching his "tactics" and substitutions from the first two games, yeah I think he may be capable of ****ing this up. I could not say either way really but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned on what I've seen so far.

    Pretty nailed on for me, been absolutely shocking vs Arsenals 2nd XI and newly promoted Norwich. Can't see it getting better vs Spurs, Watford or Liverpool either.

    People saying compare it to last season - NO WAY will we have 3 points after 10 games this year! Our biggest loss was 2-0 vs Leicester in that run and we won't have any clean sheets by then either. We will have a pornographic train run on us by Liverpool and Spurs while Watford and Brighton really might be our best shot of getting anything over the next 8 games although I can't see more than 2 points after 10 games.

    If by some miracle we are still in touching distance of 17th by November I may reconsider as we have an "easier" 9 game run then but currently I doubt we will get out of the relegation zone this season now let alone be out after 38 games.

    Of course it's way too early, but I am concerned.

    in both our defeats I've seen glimpses of good things, Shelveys goal was very well worked, I liked the build up play.

    I think against Arsenal we more than deserved the point, that one cock up cost us but, I think if we would have gotten a point we would have a different atmosphere today.

    Usually you have a newly promoted high flyer, we have seen it with both Hull and Blackpool in the past, they usually drop off. Norwich look like that side this year.

    So, we can sit here and cut our wrists or we can look at some of the positives. I dont think we look fit, different players take longer to get back into shape, I think Bruce is being over analysed because he's not Rafa, there are a plethora of reasons we are extra unhappy now.

    I think we are in the scrap this year, but we were in the scrap last year too. I am sure we will be in it again next year. We are a **** club in a good league, this is it now.

    I think that there's not enough goals in the team. Maybe Carrol will fix that problem. But history tells us that he'll play 10 times max.
