Relegation Watch

Losing to Bolton finished us off, the latest posts on this thread show we are clutching at straws.
The arguements that we had winnable games left, that the teams below us could not pick up enough points. We allready had enough points anyway. Guess what you were all wrong. We are going down get used to it.

We are not going down. If nothing else works a total pig headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

[martin o`who??]

If we do, i`m quite looking forward to days in Blackpool, Ipswich, Millwall, Barnsl......oh fuck, i feel sick.

It gets even worse when you consider we could also be playing Stevenage and MK Dons.

Why don't we just refuse to go down. Just turn up at a home fixture of one of the actual Premier League teams real early on the first day of the season and not budge. Keep doing it every week until they have to let us back in.

I am absolutely 100% behind this idea and think the club should take it forward. The legal term is 'Ostrich defence'. A point blank refusal to accept relegation and if they insist we just say "make me". We'll just stay put.... I have looked into this and it transpires that the people telling teams they are relegated (the FA) are the very same organisation that make up the rules. How convenient.

Do you think we should all watch Coronation Street tonight to see how the residents sit-in at the lapdancing club goes as a kind of legal precedent?

The one thing I've learnt from having children is that if you fold your arms for long enough you can get what you want.

I think this idea has legs.  As a member of the Premier League, we have one share in the Premier League.  If we get relegated, we have to return that share.  Now, maybe that share certifcate could be "lost" and therefore not given to Reading.  Maybe Lerner could give them one of his commemorative shares that he gave to ex-Villa shareholders instead?  Or maybe his beloved leter from Ferguson, if it hasn't disintegrated from overuse yet.

I think that we should take a leaf out of Anders Breivik's book. We acknowledge losing all those games, but refuse to accept responsibility for them.

[Concrete John]

Should that tact not work, we always have the option of kidnapping one of the promoted teams and turning up disguised as them?

Sorry, that now looks like one of John Lydon's t-shirt's from 1977.

Here's a reason to be cheerful - our relegation rivals , QPR and Blackburn, are playing on Sunday, which means I've got to spend all afternoon in the pub watching them.
