No I know that but what I'm is our position looks more promising than Fulhams this time last season. I get the comparison about the spend but I just think there's a lot of differences in position, points etc and surely "doing a Fulham" can only be pointed at us if we do get relegated. And like I said, today was shitty, a few results have been proper brown...but, we can still stay in this league and hopefully, "not do a Fulham" and put that shit to bed.
One or both of Norwich / Watford will pick up points tomorrow, by draw or win. Either way, we drop into the relegation zone again, and potentially 19th.At that point, I think there's a very strong chance indeed that we're going to 'do a Fulham'. Despite everyone's (Smith's, Purslow's, and in fairness our own) insistence to the contrary, back in the early season.

All those saying/hoping we will "do a Fulham" are just bitter. Most have no idea about the plan our owners, manager and coaches are in the process of implementing. This is not some kid in the newly opened sweet shop approach but a clear, thought out and calculated approach. Those looking on with envy are hoping we will do a Fulham because they are worried about the threat we have become. As for the likes of Big Sam, or hemorrhoid head Brazil I couldn't give a toss what they think as they don't know shit so can only speculate. None of us know for sure how the season will pan out but my god it makes a nice change to go into it feeling excited about our future.

TBF you weren't the only one.Seems one way to get supporters excited nowadays is to spend 100m on players from abroad and lower leagues that people have never heard of.

Coming of the back of a club record winning run and promotion at Wembley, it would make football pretty boring if people werent able to enjoy a little pre season of optimism at the number of signings and amount of money we spent. Hindsight obviously makes it look misguided but I think it was understandable at the time.
If you can't be optimistic, even overly optimistic, during a club record spend after promotion then what's the point? I'll take being overly optimitic every day of the week.
I worry about the mental fortitude of this team for the dogfight ahead. We have lost so many winneable games, they are used to the sting of losing.
