The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

I'm not sure Old Trafford is such a write off. Sherwood doesn't seem to give a monkeys about reputations and frankly, Man United look a mesh of expensive players dropped into the pitch without any visible cohesion.

Unfortunately they looked really good today. They tore Spurs apart. You never know but I'm not confident we'll get anything there. I think that result will push them on to finish in the top 4 now.

Sod em. Sherwoods Villa boys will just brush them aside.

Utd look good one week and then poor the next. That said they've picked up a lot of results this season when playing badly. I wouldn't be surprised if they finished second.
However as long as we give them a good game I'll be happy. We've shown them too much fear and too much respect over the years.

We have taken 6 points out of the last two league games and are still only 3 points clear of relegation

It just shows how deep in the shit we would be if we had stuck with Lambert

Frightening if we had of followed Dr Fox narrative.

[saunders_heroes]

Just noticed that we don't play our final league game till May 24th, and the FA Cup final is played on the last day of May. I've never known the season last that long before. Any idea why?

[JUAN PABLO]

Well if we play yesterdays spurs we will actually win there.

And manure can be shit again next game , beat Swansea and I think were be looking ok .

That'll be the same Fox that convinced Lerner to sack his best mate.

I too thought the false narrative / flip the coin statement was an unfortunate choice of phrase, but it was in hindsight nothing more than the usual vote of confidence = turn this around or your sacked.

We'll never know for sure, but given how the timings around Faulkner's departure, Foxes arrival and Lamberts new contract fit together it doesn't seem beyond the realms of possibility that
Faulkner left because he wanted Lambert out and Lerner had decided to stick by him.
Fox arrives with a list of things to take care of waiting on his desk including a message from his boss to sort out the new contract for Lambert
Contract gets sorted.
Fox spends the next 6 months wondering what Lerner was smoking when he gave the instruction for the new contract or checking to make sure that he hadn't missed "Under no circumstances" from the message that said "give Lambert a new contract"

Robert Madley appointed for the Swansea game, that will upset them the last time refereed a Swansea game they got him suspended, hopefully he will want to get back at Gary Monk

Or he'll be "overly" fair to them, so he doesn't get suspended again...

No he'll play it straight down the line ,but if he sees a chance to give a clear penalty he will

TS said he wants us "safe" by the time we play the semi-final at Wembley. Can't really see us being safe by then, not with the tough April fixtures - 3 points is a must against Swansea. Think this will go to the wire....

[silhillvilla]

Swansea I suspect will be a tough game. They're probably the best team we've played under TS so far.

[Matt Collins]

Yes and they're looking good v Liverpool

We really need to be trying to win this one but it is likely to be tough

Hopefully they'll burn themselves out a bit tonight

[Des Little]

Swansea are the classic Jekyll and Hyde team. Doing well tonight and beat Man U twice but didn't raise a leg at West Brom or Blackburn this season. Hopefully they won't turn up on Saturday.

[Villafirst]

And they haven't got Bony...

[Gerrin]

Swansea have won 4 times away this season, with only one more point on the road than us in total.

Man U (opening day)
Hull
Burnley
Southampton

I'd love to see us blow them away.
