It's the hope that kills you, so yes, I've stopped checking.

I'm more interested in hoping Newcastle go down with us.
This. Good god, I hope Sunderland trounce them at the weekend.
I think I stopped looking further up the table after the Norwich and Sunderland defeats. That was when the game was up for me.

I take a fleeting look when they bring it up. Not out of hope more about confirming that we are in fact nine points from safety and only have 16 fcukin points.

Makes me wince to look at the table. Those useless arseholes in charge have ruined the club. Just sell up fast Lerner!

I convince myself its over but cant resist a peak at it most days thinking if we can just get a win v swansea, then newcastle sunderland draw and we beat chelsea and so on. We should be down already but the other 3 are still leaving the door open for a miracle comeback.

The other teams are leaving the door open and any team with a bit of fight would have closed the gap. But it's fight we don't have.

Counter intuitively I follow the results in the hope that whoever is 17th pulls away and brings it all to an end as soon as possible.

I always used to check the table on the train up to Birmingham, working out where we might be by the end of the weekend if we won and the others lost.
I haven't done that for weeks.

I stopped too in January. The clubs resignation from the PL meant I've really not bothered with them since then. I'll pick it up again when the club show some intent to compete, whatever division that's in.

I stopped looking ages ago.
I have also stopped watching ANY football on telly, or anything to do with it.
Infact, I only realised last night that we are now at the FA Cup Semi final stage.
I was even more shocked to see who is left.

Trying to avoid it, its the opposite of rubber-necking, complete denial.

I've been paying more attention to the Championship table since Christmas, looking at which clubs might leapfrog us. More depressingly, I've also been looking at the top teams in the "third" division who we're likely to be playing next season. Burton, Gillingham, Walsall, Millwall...

I find that, now that we're not really a football club any more - rather a corporate refreshment facility with a big garden - I can watch the title race knowing that it has zero bearing on me.
In a way, I can thank Randy Lerner for freeing me of the pain I used to feel after a defeat, back when a defeat mattered. I'm completely inured to it now.
