Norwich dropping would be wonderful for the whole Hoolahan thing and the delusions of grander. The Tesco's dropping would just be wonderful.

Half of our home goals this season have come against the two teams in the PL who hate us.

It's time to start making some more enemies I think.

Norwich really have to start picking up points soon, their last 4 games are

H) Racist FC
A) Manure
A) Chavski
H) Arse

Ouch. I suppose the sliver of hope there is that those teams may not have anything to play for by that point.

A trip to Old Trafford's a piece of piss these days isn't it?


I suspect we'll disprove that theory.

I was thinking the same, I'll only believe Man Utd's reign is over when we beat them.

I would think Liverpool will have everything to play for, even if it cementing third place and a guaranteed CL place. United may still have a chance of top four and if not will be desperate to get as many points as possible to try for some respectability this season. Chelsea may well still be going for the title and Arsenal may need to guarantee third or fourth. Even in the highly unlikely event all four have nothing to play for at that point how many points would you back the team you saw us play yesterday to get from those games?

I was just looking at the 86-87 squad to see how many I'd want in the current squad (not at their current age, obviously). Spinksy would always get in, and the defence in general looks decent and there are players that I loved, like Dales and Birchy, but we obviously just didn't have the quality - although as an eight-year-old at the time, I thought Simon Stainrod was the best player on earth.
Even when he hit me on the head with an errant shot while warming up in front of the Holte (before we lost 4-1 at home to Norwich, funnily enough).

Nigel Spink
Kevin Poole
Martin Keown
Tony Dorigo
Paul Elliott
Allan Evans
Gary Williams
David Norton
Steve Hunt
Tony Daley
Steve Hodge
Mark Walters
Paul Birch
Neale Cooper
Simon Stainrod
Garry Thompson
Andy Gray
Warren Aspinall

Some fantastic players in that squad. We should never have been so poor that season.

Isn't Kevin Poole about 72 and still playing?

It'll be Cardiff, Fulham and Smethwick.  Get to the bookies and thank me in May.

Wouldn't it be nice to be safe by the end of the Fulham game. 7 points from Stoke, Fulham and Chelsea would do it. No chance we'd go down on 38 points.
