Can we do it ?

Its as if we gain possession lump it up to JD and expect him to beat two 6 foot odd centre halves in the air. JD has done great but we cannot expect him to do that

Explains the lack of headed goals this season as mentioned on Monty's thread.

I think you're taking it just a little too seriously in that case Marcus.

Either that or every other aspect of your life is stress-free, which I doubt!

If/when they go down you'll still be there the first Saturday of the season.

Absolutely right mate - I have very little stress in my life - great job, financially sound, great marriage and my kids are very good too! Football is the only part of my life where things aren't good!!!

But yes, I'll be there first game of next season

CAN WE - absolutely - WILL WE - probably not!!
I'm an eternal optimist so I wish I could argue with you on this but I simply can't!

The numbers in the OP state league position after 26 games - but the league position isn't the important thing IMO - it's the number of points we are from safety - we are far closer this season (and I honestly think it may be a record low for staying up - although I still don't think we'll get it!!)

What's even more stupid is that I can see the team turning up and playing well against Man City - might not win but much like Spurs, then kicking us in the teeth against Burnley a fortnight later!! Or decent performance this week, win against Burnley then lie down and have belly tickled by whoever's next!!

With regards to CAN WE, I'm not even sure about that anymore.

I'd say 'absolutely', if you didn't have players like Cattermole, Kirchhoff, Anichebe on the sidelines, even when they're back, they're not gonna be 'Fit' and at the business end of the season too.

None of those 3 players should have ever been relied upon, given their injury history.

One season too many.

I hope Burnley win at Swansea, to help us and get their first away win before they come here. Leicester to beat Hull. Stoke to beat Boro. WBA (which team will turn up for them ?) should beat Palace. I would say all the premier matches tomorrow will be home wins though.

Refuse to keep studying the entrails of crows, gazing into crystal balls or seeking Divine help. One game at a time and let the rest get on with it.

Piece of p*ss. Of course we will escape again. Its what we do.
