Relegation Possibility

[ez]

I reckon we'll stop up but with less points than blues got last season.

It's almost a free game for us now so if I was manager i'd just send us out to close the mancs down fast and attack them as much as possible. Bet we don't though.

Would love to see him take the bloody reigns off and let the kids loose. He won't.
It's probably not that he can't, I just think he doesn't know how to play that way. 

I think so too. Can't see the manager going for a win at all. He'll go for the draw or low scoring defeat.

From what I know and what my Dad told me, we have been relegated 5 times in our history. 4 times to what is now the Championship and once to the old Third Division. I have witnessed 3 of them. I was wondering though -  Is this heading to be our worst ever season for home wins and maybe points gained at home. Any Stattos out there know the answer ? Is our manager about to secure a new record or am I being too harsh?

Thanks for that Ez. So it could easily be our worst ever season.

Worst ever since football was invented in 1992, you mean?

[ClarrieBlue]

Yes sorry I was forgetting that the previous 100 years plus doesn't count anymore.

I think not even McLeish can take us down from here.

Would you bet your house on that?
We will not be safe till the points are in the bag.

i would,
 i would bet the lot House,Car,Savings,Wife, if i could get even money i'd put it all on and still sleep a night

I can tell you - just put it on match thread in error- that if we lose today we will have the lowest points after 33 games (35) since the Chinese invented the game in '92.

Looking at wins home or away, shots on, shots off stats they are almost as bad. As for corners for and against, set pieces or headed goals well , something ain't right. Especially given the uncanny comparison with SHA from last year. Can't be coincidence so only one person to blame and there is the proof.

He will set us up today in damage limitation mode again. Midfield will be so deep they will need mining helmets and davy lamps.

Very good.

Well, we can blame Simba for the loss now then.

I think our lowest points in the Premiership is 42. So McLoose can set a new record this season.   

[Displeased]

Nailed on.

Blimey a compliment from Lee? Nice to meet you before the Chelsea game. P

[Legion]

I'm not all bad. You too.
