I've said all season that apart from the top 2 there was no one we had to worry about.

I mentioned at the time that I hoped the Chelsea home match would be the same for them as when Spurs tonked us two seasons ago, and it appears to have happened.

Another way to view this is as a fan of a club chasing Liverpool let alone us with 5 games left. What confidence would you have as a fan of any club 6-12 of bridging that gap? And then add another 3 to get to us. If we were in the chasing pack we’d be saying there is no chance at all. Because realistically that’s the case even if mathematically there is.

Yeah, after today's result they've even given up over on SHA.

If we had Liverpool’s run in, we would all have given up already.

I know people in football are generally blessed with super-confidence, but what on earth was Rosenior thinking, taking that job, there was no way that was ever going to work out well for him.

Haven't they given him a six year deal? I guess that would answer the question.

It's also not really a typical "club hiring a new manager" situation.

It's an employer telling an employee that they are being transferred to a different department.
