Yes, it is all very disappointing recently, but - if I may be blunt - some of you really do need to grow a pair of bollocks.

 the lack of fight amongst some of us is really pathetic.

Like we're just looking for an excuse to give up and start acting like we're Sheffield United or Albion, belonging in the second diivision, like we've looked ok for a few years but now we'll doff our caps, bow and scrape and act like the bunch of second raters you seem to think we actually are.

Some of the nonsense even sounds like some of you actually want it to happen. It really is baffling. We need to get behind the team and lift our own spirits, not arse about moping like a load of teenage girls, with our arses in our hands.

Good team talk for Ged tomorrow, accurate too.

The self pity is becoming overwhelming.

No, we're not very good. No, we're not as good as we were last year. No, the manager hasn't been a roaring success. No, some of the players clearly do not want to perform.

But to read a great number of threads - oooh, last time we won the Ashes in Australia, we went down / last time Swing Out Sister had a hit we went down / last time we had a manager with two l's and i and an e in his surname we went down etc etc - the lack of fight amongst some of us is really pathetic.

Agreed, but none of it will make a blind bit of difference if the players and manager continue to play just like you've described the fans.

thing is though Percy, they should plenty of spirit against Chelsea. We lost because of a lack of quality against Sunderland, a stupid sending off and a goal from a completely unlikely source. Not because we lacked fight. And we beat Sheffield United handily in the end. Those last few games don't indicate to me a team throwing in the towel.

Speaking as one of about ten posters who spent the last three or four years railing against all the doom and gloom on here when we were challenging for the Champions League, I sympathise paulie. Maybe I just got tired of banging my head against a brick wall.

Nice that the positivity sunk in with you eventually though.

Well said. Sums up my feelings pretty well perfectly.

Bit of an over reaction to what i've been reading on here.  And with the greatest respect, you moaned and complained for the last 18 months of MON's tenure. 

Now we find ourselves in the bottom three, having put in some pretty ordinary performances from the management team down to the so called senoir players, I think some supporters are more than entitled to be a little bit pissed off and fearful of what the rest of the season holds.

[eamonn]

''Our arses in our hands''? That's the second time I've read that expression on here today without ever seeing it before. Does it mean ready to be rogered up the Khyber Pass?

[sfx412]

Anyone noticed we are out of the bottom 3 ?

Amazing stuff, 20 more points needed from 17 games

[Steve67]

Out of the bottom three and finally heading in the right direction. Another couple of signings this week and we'll face Man City in good heart next week.  We still don't look like scoring though!!

[damon loves JT]

Nothing to see here. Move along please

I said I didn't like his football (which I didn't) and I didn't think we'd qualify for the CL (which we didn't).

The stakes involved in not qualifying for the CL and those involved in getting relegated are somewhat different, though.

And yes, I agree with your final paragraph, as I said, I don't like GH much either, and I can see that we're shit - you don't have to be the king of football analysis to spot that.

That's not what gives me the hump. People have the right to moan, you're right, I have been doing it myself. But that is different from the pathetic defeatism, the "oh, if this happens and that happens and this happens too, we could be bottom tonight" which sometimes seem to have an air of hoping it happens attached to it, combined with the "oooh, last time *insert something totally irrelevant here* happened, we got relegated" thing.

A run of shit form and we turn into Albion fans, expecting the world to collapse around us.
