Is this the season... (Poll reset after Albion double)

If it all goes to plan, we will survive due to the shiteness of others (again).

We can never be better than anyone in your world can we? They always have to be worse than us.

No, if we stay up its because we are better than others. Again.

You must be quite content then with how the last 3 or 4 years have been ? Especially this one

Did I say that? Ever?

33 points will be enough this season, one of the lowest points tallies ever, that kind of tells you the tale.

We will beat Spurs tomorrow. We will lose the semi-final though.

Pathetic defeatist post edited. Man up, Desmond

Sorry, I missed that Premier League proclamation.

I sense a Vidic moment next week, but we will have Spurs tomorrow.

On that basis Chelsea will only win the League because of how shit Man City and Arsenal are.

If Arsenal win it, it will only be because Chelsea flattered to deceive for 85% of the season.

We only won the league in 80-81 because Ipswich were wank and the following year won some tin pot trophy due to some foreign tossers not being much cop.

Over 38 games you finish where you deserve, and if that says we were the 17th best team then fair enough.  2 months ago I'd have been worried they would have had to invent a 21st spot for us.

We have been crap but boy how bad must some of the other teams be, we don't get to watch them week in and week out but we've scored a tiny amount of goals, gone on massive winless runs and been boring but still only spent a week or two in the bottom 3.

If we stay up it's because we finally made the decision to sack the boring one, albeit at least 7 months too late, arguably a lot longer. We have decent players in some positions but as we all know they've been very poorly coached and motivated for a long time and it does take its toll.

That's exactly my point. This has to be one of the poorest PL seasons ever in terms of the quality of the bottom 5 or 6 sides. Utter gash.

Undoubtedly. Chelsea have been the only side to have any semblence of consistency, and even they got thoroughly shown up in the Champs League.
Utd being third despite playing pretty poorly all season and defending abysmally, also says a lot. Moneybags City have looked shockingly average at times given the money spent, and find themselves with a squad filled with too many declining players. They're paying the price for operating like a fantasy football manager, rather than building something. There's no youth there.

My brother in law is a Hull fan, so we talk about relegation struggles a lot.

After the QPR match, I was feeling pretty downhearted.

He made s good point about the match, which was 'two teams battling and fighting to avoid relegation. We can't summon up anywhere near that spirit and fight ".

Which struck me as something to be positive about. We are at least showing spirit and bottle, something we clearly lacked in the later Lambert period.

[Gregorys Boy]

I agree with this and would say that the PL has been pretty woeful for the last three seasons at least.  And I also do think that we will stay up but once again only because we are not quite as poor as those around us.  And the problem with relieing on that every season is that in the end it will catch up with us.  Besides with some of the players we have we should be targeting 12th or 11th at least.
