Relegation this season would set us back years and we are already years behind the top teams. In fact relegation this year would see us light years behind the top 4.

For my lifetime, for sure.

As an old timer, Brian, what about comments from the likes of Mazrim and I earlier? I am genuinely interested by your views.
Was that the one about Cunty Chops?

All the talk about only needing 37 or 38 points to survive - right now I can't even see how we will get 30 points.

On what basis?  We're a very poor side but to assume we'll take only 2 points from 11 games is crazy talk.

Even during the recent poor run of form we've taken 4 points from the last 5 games.

Tongue in cheek but the truth is we just don't look like adding points very quickly. How often have we approached so called 'must win/winnable' games and come away with nothing. We could just about put up with it whilst our away matches provided points but that's dried up too.

Well it took one game to get past 30 Levico!

Indeed, I think 38 points should be enough this season and a couple more wins - I expect the gap to close somewhat in the remainder of the month but we have a decent cushion at this stage .

Don't think anything can be taken for granted. Pundits and people keep making statements about who they think are going down based on the current situation, then that team wins a couple of games and it's all change. Basically, anyone from West Ham down can still go down and until we're mathematically safe, I'm not counting on anything.

Even so, considering quite a few of the 200+ posts on this thread are saying "I can't see three teams who are worse than us" - I wonder if any of them want to revise that?

There are probably three teams worse than Norwich, who it seems are absolutely terrible.

Neither do half the league. Only 5 games next week. Gonna fuck up a few fantasy league sides, especially mine. I only have 6 of my squad playing in games, and two are goalies. And no strikers.

We have as much chance of going down as manure have of winning the League. 8 points from 10 games is safety however I hope we are there by the time we have played 32.

I was saying from around April last year that Albion would go this season. I will piss myself loffing if it actually happens.

Looks that way to me too. Chopping and changing managers left right and centre hasn't helped any of them.

I'd rather Albion be in the top division, just for amusement purposes.

Swap them with Stoke.
