Relegation?

[damon loves JT]

I just want the season over and done with.

Yep, I need to get started on my planning for where to park in Brentford

Some great riverside pubs near Brentford - Kew, Chiswick, Strand on the Green. I think most of us would enjoy it as much as the Fulham game.

Let's say that regrettably, Chavski cheat, bore and bribe their way to the non champions league final.

And they can't win the league.

Can you begin to imagine the stunts he will pull in their last two league games?

At the expense of his great friends in B6, whilst taking the piss out of the league.

A dish best served cold.

If we go down, we cant blame anyone else but the pile of tripe that has been served up this season, right from the top in Lerner, then Faulkner and Lambert, then the bunch of spineless twats performing in shirts we would love to be in. They should all be ashamed of themselves, need someone like Ian Taylor to tell them how they should feel playing in that great shirt. John Carew played with some great teams, but still has great pride in wearing our shirt.

To be honest, I don't blame the majority of them as they simply just aren't good enough.  The blame should lie with those who brought them in and set the parameters for players of their level to be bought.

Do you think these players are inferior to Crystal Palaces, Stoke, West Ham and the like? The tactics are shocking, we should be doing better than they are.

Maybe not Palace, but how many of our players would get in Stoke or West Ham's team?  Vlaar and Delph perhaps, but not many more.

West Ham, Guzan better than their keeper, right back is better than Demel, Bertrand better than McCartney, Benteke certainly (obviously injured now).

Stoke, right back and left back again, Benteke again, Whelan or Westwood?, not much difference really, but these clubs have tactics and plans.

By the way, Palace have won 5 games on the trot, so Lambert needs to take some responsibility

If god forbid we went down, imagine the 'great' players we'd have to sell to balance the books.

Shudders at the thought of this as a) we don't have great players, so b) won't be able to plug the funding gap.

Just one more ok performance Villa. One fuckin' performance. That's all we're asking. Then we can say good riddance to this season and save our arses over the summer.

It will be our most testing time in history these next three months.

The performances of Bacuna, Gabby, Holt, Weiman, Baker and  Kea were well below this standard.

Some of these guys have really poor technique Baker, Weiman particularly.

Apart from RB (I don't think Bacuna or Lowton are better than the two options at those clubs), that is pretty much spot on.  That just shows the level of quality we have at the club.

7500toholte has some guesstimate probabilities.

Summary, they reckon we are slightly safer today even though we lost.

[villan from luton]

Stoke's right back was Cameron, he looks poor. Lowton has had a poor second season, no doubt about it, but needed better treatment. I just think we need a manager now who has a vision on how we are going to play against each opponent. We did well towards the end of last season and played some decent football, but we have gone long ball this season again for no apparent reason.

[phildaniels]

Chavski have already confirmed they are playing a reserve team tomorrow . They will beat athletico and play reserves v Norwich too.
So stop looking for favours off the moaner


Didn't request favours from anyone nor mention reserve teams. If we go down we deserve to.

So stop making assumptions.

I wasnt making any assumptions, merely saying if we go down it will be down to ourselves. So calm down

Never fear, the bookies never get it wrong...odds on relegation

Norwich 1/7
Cardiff 1/6
Fulham 1/4
Sunderland 11/10
Villa 10/1

I'll have a tenner on myself feeling used and dirty five seconds after the season ends.

[nick harper]

I had a tenner on us to go before the Fulham game at 33-1. Just to pay me back for at least part of the season ticket I'd paid for.  Never thought it would come to this I must admit.

[Chris Smith]

I'm pretty much at the stage where I don't give a toss. Stay up or go down, keep Lambert or sack him, Lerner or new owner, £10m or £100m to spend - so fucking what? I'll keep going because I enjoy the company and get a buzz out of the odd win but it's just Monopoly with a ball and I refuse to let it get in the way of real life.

[citizenDJ]

they're not daft, they'll give it the old 'scoop up their young kids routine' after the final whistle and carry them around with them so we haven't the heart to give them too much stick

I think the best reaction would be to just do nothing.  As they do their parade, everyone should just stand quietly and stare at them.   No booing, no clapping, nothing.  That would seriously get the message across.

silent, slow head shaking

We should all stand up and do this.

I was reading about this GIF just a few weeks ago, funnily enough, and thought it was interesting that the kid in it is a survivor of the Columbine School shooting; he can be seen in middle of the famous year group photo taken shortly before the tragedy took place.
