    Three games left, two including relegation candidates, Sunderland & Palace. Well thats them guaranteed 3 points each, with every possibility of them getting 4 goals apiece.

    Who says Bookies don't give charity.

    The season is over and has been fit the Stoke players 3 games ago. Just going through the motions, very embarrassing really and a massive insult to all of the Stoke fans travelling to watch. They should lose their wages for the last 3 games that will make them try harder

    You have seen them Ricc, up to the turn of the year they were playing some of the best football I have EVER seen and that includes the team of the ''70's.

    Since then....gawd knows what's happened.

    Injuries..perhaps, I dunno. Does NOT seem any spirit thereat all

    I think that's the issue, we have played some really good football this year - injuries haven't helped but that's not really an excuse.

    Every team goes into a bad patch, some get through it quicker than others, and some have more bad patches than others.
    Should we be thankful for small mercies? for instance not so long ago we were nail-biting about being in a position presently occupied by AV - 'castle - Norwich & wunderland.
    At times this season the lads have given us a real treat.

    At times KKB they have indeed been brilliant, the operative words being 'at times' Some recent performances have been unacceptable

    Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, after all we are not ready for Europe yet.

    We were once mate and then Pulis bottled it against Valencia

    I don't think we were ready then, we were really close to the bottom of the Prem for most of that season, mind you that was every season under Pulis come to think on it, <laugh>
