It's not just the points though, it's the level of play.

Which was about the same level of crapness most of the time as the first 19 games. My point is, as shit as we've been most of the season, we were actually safe this season after 29 games, on the 15th March. You have to be staggeringly shit to go down.

We should put it on a scarf, "we're just shit, not staggeringly shit"

That could be the new club motto.

In summer of 1990 after a year of struggle we gained Ron Atkinson, signed Rico, Dalian, Staunton and the next couple of years were a joy.
In summer of 1995 after a year of struggle we had Sir Brian, signed Southgate, Draper and Savo and the next couple of years were a joy.
In summer of 2006 after a year of struggle we had MON, moneybags Randy and eventually signed Petrov, Carew,  and Ashley Young and next couple of years were a joy.
In summer of 2014 after 3 years of struggle ........................................... who knows?

In the summer of 2525
If Randys reign is still somehow alive
Everything we think, do and say
will be the same as that shit today

I actually think we could turn around the momentum of the club, from dropping like a stone to securing mid table, by signing one or two proper, decent players. It would just give the players/fans/staff a message that we aren't prepared just to drift down the league and out of the division and not give a fuck. Currently we're like playing with a baloon with all the air let out, pointless and not a lot of fun.

Unless there are serious changes in the summer at board, managerial and playing level, we will most probably be relegated.

I would agree with that entirely.  We are on death row - last 2 seasons have been a stay of execution (relegation) and unless big changes we are dead and buried next year.

It's all dependent upon truckloads of cash, otherwise more of the same.

Me too.  I know some say 'better the devil you know' but the worst that could happen is relegation and that looks inevitable anyway if things stay as they are.

One small improvement I am looking forward to is that in my new superfast car and my son driving it the journey home after a game will cut the totally pissed off silence between us by about half an hour.

You got the one or two right but they need joining together 12!

The 2 wins v Norwich & having 5 teams worse than us have ultimately saved us  >:(

When taking the rest of the season into consideration, the out of the blue wins against Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea kept us up.  Doing the double over Norwich also proved vital.
