The prospect of going back up the M6 from Villa Park happy more than five pathetic times a season would be a god send.I don't care what we are like to watch. I am just sick to death of losing, of being a soft touch for shit clubs like Stoke fucking City to come and breeze to three points.Albion fans were saying the same thing about Pulis and now they're moaning about the football they play. I don't want to go down that road.

Who says we're going to get relegated?

I think Tim was right about the fitness levels, Stoke seemed quicker, stronger and pressed the ball in packs of two or three in a way we didn't seem capable of.

Just because we're in the bottom three now, doesn't mean we will be in May. Having a little optimism doesn't hurt.

I always felt West Ham fans were a little harsh on tubby Sam. I know it wasn't pretty most of the time (they actually played decent footy in the first half of last season, with Downing in the hole and Sakho in form). But they're a yo-yo club who he's given stability to. If there's one thing Big Sam doesn't do (as of yet), it's relegate sides. It may be dour at times but he'll keep you up and have you well drilled. He'll also use certain players effectively. I think we'd see Gestede given more to work with. We have good players here. We just need someone to get that backline into shape, and get players playing. The worry with Fat Sam is, he could hamper the development of Grealish. I'm not sure he'd fancy him. In addition I think we'd see very little of Gil. I would take him in a heartbeat right now. Right now we're shit to watch (aside from 10-20 minutes here and there) and we're not picking up results. I'd rather be shit to watch and pick up results. The latter will keep us up. We're going down under Sherwood. We can't wait around this time. We diced with death leaving it late last year. Sherwoods used up all his luck and impact now. We missed out on Pulis last year by not bulleting Lambert sooner. Say what you like about Tiny Penis but we'd be looking in better nick right now under him. And he's ultimately done better at that mob than Sherwood has here, regardless of our cup run.
