It’s tough, no doubt, and a worry about points, Palace, Arsenal, Man U could be 7 points! Probably more 4.

Probably 2.

Lacazette hasn't scored a single away goal in the league all season.
He hasn't played away against us though.

Put 100 quid on him to score anytime then and see what happens (Aubameyang will probably score a hat trick instead so not quite win win!)

Think I heard a stat during the Chelsea gamthat we had picked up 2 points out of a possible 45 against teams in the top ten.

I'm worried now because I think they'll cancel the season at the drop of a hat now 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' have fulfilled their destiny.  I really thought we'd have got the 3 points we needed to be out of the bottom 3 by the time that happened and everyone else has done their bit to help us, so we only have ourselves to blame if we go down now.

isn't that always the case though? To stay up, we need to beat Wolves imo - if we do that , fragile as we are, it would give enough  momentum to keep us up - just.

We've had loads of 'must wins' and ballsed them all up.  Remarkably 4 clubs seem to be doing their best to battle for 2 relegations spots, so we've still got a chance.

It seems pointless to bank on certain points from certain games as it's just a kick in the nuts waiting to happen.  We just have to hope we can pull off a couple of unlikely victories somewhere along the line.  Other clubs seem to manage to pull results out the bag and we've just got to find a way.

I can't see it myself, but when there's only  point between us then of course we've still got a decent chance.

For once, just once, can it be Aston Villa that get that result that makes those around us think ‘shit’? For far too long we have delivered exactly what others want from us, and the change would do us rather well.

Sustaining it would be too much to hope for.  I'd settle for combative and really hard working.  Not picking AEG and Trezeguet might help.

During the discussions over resuming the season, Purslow described relegation as a "£200m disaster"

If that is the case, why are he and our owners just sitting back and watching us drive at high speed towards a cliff?

Worried? I think we are resigned.

We are definitely going. There’s no fight or quality in this team.

Absolutely. I think we’ve got worse things to worry about now. Relegation is a done deal, we are now facing a complete reorganisation with the club in the hands of those least capable of doing that competently ( I don’t mean the owners).

Anyone starting to accept the inevitable?
