We've got at least 3 "known premiership players" out on loan/injured, none of whom would much improve our matnchday squad.  We need at least 3 top quality players, I couldn't care less where they are "known".

this season we are safe, because of the utter drose below us, But if we keep with this policy of trying "all unknowns" in the same team, we'll be having plenty of local derbies sooner rather than later.

We must buy at least 3 known Premiership players.

Is that what McLeish thought so he signed Given, N'Zogbia, Hutton and Jenas?  Give me Benteke, Bacuna, Westwood and Okore any day.

With such a poor football and such a clueless manager, it will be a miracle if we reach the safety.

Yes, it will be a miracle if six clubs don't overtake us in the last six games. You can still get 50/1 on us going down if you're that convinced.

Fortunately we are in a situation where three teams are going to have to have a major upturn to catch us, even if we don't pick up another point this season.

It is absolute rubbish, but I found it very amusingly written.  It's like it's gone through Google translate; from English into Joe Dolce.

Much as I disagree with what he said, it's unfair to criticise the grammar of someone whose first language isn't English.

Thank you Dave, you are a friend (we met at Carrow road, do you remember?) but if my English is poor, and it is, the lads have the right to make me notice that. I will try to improve it, even if in this forum I often happen to read many "should of" that do puzzle me.

But I still have the right to say that our football is poor and our tactics ridicolous. And we never have a gameplan.

Obviously,  I hope that I am wrong. Should we remain in Premier League, I'd be more than happy, ça va sans dire, it goes without saying. . .

P.S. I had translated litterally an italian expression, probably in English it does not make sense. Lost in translation,  sorry. . .

Sorry Dave, I had no idea, had I known English was not Archie's first language I would never have written that.  Archie, please accept my full and sincere apologies, I didn't mean to cause offence.

Fair play to you, mate. But I absolutely  had not taken your comment as an offence.
It was a misunderstanding.
Sometimes it may happen that  when you translate an expression in another language, it loses its originary meaning.
This was the case, and yu simply made me notice, with typical English humour (that I appreciate),  that I had written a phrase that does not have sense in English.
Comments like yours help me to improve my poor English, so they are more than welcome.

I agree totally Archie. We will reach safety I think, it is a miracle given how crap we are that there are actually teams worse than us, and we won't continue with this sort of luck ad infinitum. Apologies in advance for any poor grammar
