Relegation dignity

The Allams staying might be a reason to shed a few tears.

I have been supporting and following City for about 55 years so I am well used to disappointment as the highs have been few and far between. With the players brought in and their apparent quality, I had positive expectations for this season, thinking a few wins and a mid table finish were on the cards. I cannot adequately express my frustration at our current situation and the prospect of relegation which is the result of bizarre team selections and substitutions along with incorrect tactics turning winning or drawing positions into draws and losses with the resulting loss of points. In addition and on too many occasions, we have been let down by poor player performances and silly choices. I acknowledge that injuries and bad refereeing have occurred but I feel that we could and should have overcome these setbacks.

There is great TV coverage of the Prem in Canada so I get to see most of our games but there is no coverage of the Championship, that I am aware of, so if we go down I'll be SOL next season. Mind you, not watching might be less stressful than what we have experienced this season! That said, I'll be willing the lads on against Spurs and United and hoping for survival - I'll wear me brown trousers and boxing gloves to save me nails!

 

Watch and learn.

 

Win @ Spurs on saturday and it will be back in OUR hands. Sunderland and Newcastle have tough games for very different reasons.

 

Yes you really do need to do as you say.

 

Well you cant say that as FACT. It is FACT that it's not in our hands at present.

 

Time will tell my friend, time will tell.

 

Ye like some of them would shoot!!

 

**** that. The mrs has made a special shirt for me out of 4 of my most treasured ones.
I've got a quarter Man U obvs.
A quarter City.
A quarter Liverpool.
A quarter Chelsea.

What with us going down Fat Frank and Stevie G leaving these shores then if now isnt the time for me to walk away in a flood of tears then just when is??

 

It clearly is asking a lot considering how pathetic the Burnley display was.

 

Get Slightly embarrassed about the one with the line about "the greatest football team the world has ever seen" but the rest of the chants seemed good fun.

 

I've taken my blinkers off, what is it I'm supposed to be looking at?

 

Some of the posts on here should be sent to the players. Bit of a cheek telling the paying fans to do this, and don't do that. At the end of the day the players who get paid loads will determine what happens. I just hope they put up a fight rather than going down with a wimper.

 

I know every team chants it, but it's not exactly realistic. Furthermore, we're so against the name change and yet in that song we chant "Hull City FC". With all the bother about the rugby club and that, it seems really, really stupid. Then again, the We Are Hull (or Weirall to outsiders) one is in the same vein, because a fair few get bollocked on here for calling us Hull and not City.

 

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist that one

 

Whooooosh!

 

Sorry Sterling, that was a quote from a "long time supporter" after the Cup Semi at Wembley last year, I just found it quite funny & exploited your post to re-post it.

 

I remember scores of people blubbing when we lost the return leg Division 3 play off against Leyton Orient 3.0. John Eyre got hopes up with a 1.0 win a boothferry.

Things are not that bad.

 

I got the point he was making, I just used his response to make my point. Some of our chants are nonsensical.

 

This one can be forgiven, because she's bloody lovely.

What do you want to get our hopes up for? It's the hope that kills.
