You've got them down to a T.
Do you have a vest-ed interest?

They've got a goal scorer in Defoe though, which is what we're desperate for.

Up until being gifted goals galore by us and 10 man Swansea he'd scored 4 in the league this season.

When we do drop the thing that will rankle with me is about half of the premier league will be made up of clubs smaller than ourselves. It doesn't seem right.

Name me ten clubs bigger than us. Go on, I dare you.

Bigger clubs ...hmmmm.. Let me think traditionally 3. Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd now added by 2. Fulham Road gangsters and Eastlands Slave Traders. So I fail miserably on naming them all😅

Back to 10 points adrift then. Surely gone aren't we with only 16 games left. It would take an almighty surge from us and some of the best form in our history with one of the worst teams in our history, coupled with three teams above us going on nightmare runs. Not going to happen.

Never in a million years. Tbh, it's been a a done deal since we lost at Sunderland. That was the final nail.

Everything else has been about some momentum for next season. That's why I'm not fussed about signing anyone, this is about getting back some pride and sorting out who stays and who goes.

The plus point is we'll all have accepted our relegation by February/March so by the time we are down and when the end of the season comes it will be old news.

Let's just enjoy the rest of the season, let's sing our hearts out, be full of gallows humour and go down with our heads held high. Starting at the Albion Saturday, let's be willing to laugh at ourselves and take the piss, they won't know what to do if we're self-deprecating about ourselves.

Losing the Sunderland and Norwich games were the final nails in the coffin of our PL status.
Shocking state of affairs.
