I am. I mean, a win and a draw would see us mid-table, and its just past the halfway stage of the season. Not like it's the run-in. Does anyone know how many points we had last season after 20 games? Curious as to how many more points it was.

24, which had us in 13th

Maybe I'm wrong and am just in the misery section <laugh>

Seriously though, no one is expecting us to get out of this surely?

Just for a moment, stop reacting in anger and rage, have a cup of tea, look at the table and think what we have to do to be saved.

We have 18 games left. We need to win one more than Everton, Bournemouth and Wolves or win one and draw one more game than any three out of Everton, Bournemouth, Wolves, West Ham, Leeds and Leicester. And try to remember that they simply cannot be close to us yet have brilliant teams, no matter what your fears make you think. At the moment they are marginally less **** than us.

You'll realise it's far from impossible. Seriously. It's quite rational.

****ing right I expect us to get out of it. Not everyone is a big girl’s blouse. There’s a bit of heart in that team (and manager), about time the fans started showing some…

Also, there is always one or two teams that get sucked in. It is so close at the moment between 7 of us, or even 8 of us, that if one or two teams do get dragged in, then it will be interesting.

Another thing is that we won't lose position by losing or drawing and any result will be a psychological boost.
