Miraculous turnaround required, but most certainly doable. You've seen these players attempt to play football, right? We'll be lucky to get 9 or 10 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd **** better do a lap (they usually call it a lap of appreciation, rather than honour). The least they can do after their performances this season is listen to what people really think of them when they're not showing support during a match. Probably shouldn't take their kids out, though. "Dad, why's that man waving at you with his hand backwards, and his fingers bent over?"

Miraculous turnaround required, but most certainly doable. I'd rather play mid table teams at home than our rivals away. I admire your heavy drinking. I am sorry to remind you that we have won 8 matches in the last 55 league matches .That is less than a 15% win rate. Now how are we going to triple this win percentage with our current squad? It is over. The end. Finito. This is a ex Premier League club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems impossible, doesn't it? It takes years of unbelievably poor decisions, from the top down. Cleveland Browns fans tried to warn us.

ferguson1 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 1 minute ago, Arj Guy said: it is not doable for a team that has one win all season. That is top 6 form minimum and if you think this club is capable of acheiving that then you are seriously deluded. Totally agree here! I am ever the optimist but we are fighting to get draws let alone wins. Sunderland (excluding Defoe) are appalling and even at 1-1 we never really looked like causing them further problems. From Monday, we need a plan and that plan should be a transfer philosophy that will enable us to get out of the Chamionship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfingers Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 The heart has gone out of the side. I can't see them turning it around now We needed a springboard to go into the new year with. The last two games have ensured we won't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Why would the players go to acknowledge fans who have been giving them shit all day, just to get more abuse? I don't get it myself, sanctimonious rubbish. I wouldn't need the players coming over to me clapping after losing like that, in fact it would just piss me off.

Nicho Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Relegation was inevitable with the management of this club in the last few years. I as had most accepted it was coming, the most frustrating for me is the manner we are going down. No fight, no heart at least go out fighting for you lives. The quality of the players is even more shocking than expected, had the spine torn out with Vlaar, Delph, Cleverley and Benteke going. Just as frustrating its become a season of everyone beating everyone. Watford, Bournemouth and Norwich are picking up points just by giving a shit. Leicester, Crystal Palace and Stoke have shown some ambition and look where that has got them. Its no surprise the 3 worst managed club, with the least money spent, ambition shown and ageing players are the bottom 3 and I expect Newcastle and Sunderland to come down with us. Mentality shift needed at the club for it all to change, which I believe we tried with the new structure, however with the top man not caring that creates an overall ethos of the club no matter what is below.

Yup, and the guy who started the lets all laugh at Villa thread got shot down. They seem a relatively decent sort unlike their neighbours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieVillan Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 We blew it in the last 4 matches. Game over. its horrific to be in this position so early in the season. The way things are going, we could easily be 15-20 points adrift by the end of Jan, which is just demoralising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 just looking at the teams promoted from the championship in the last few years. More seem to be coming up and staying up than I remember. Southampton only came up 3 years ago. Leicester and Crystal Palace similar stories. if we go down and actually use the time to properly sort ourselves out, I'd rather that than another 3 years of 17th place finishes. every cloud... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I'm willing to guarantee that if Lerner is still here next year we will not be promoted. The club is damaged and the only constant has been Randy Lerner. We've had all sorts of different managers, revamped the squad a few times, changed CEO's, changed board members, changed recruiting policies and changed coaches. There is nothing at all to suggest that we will get it right in the Championship. We are sadly much more likely to be another Leeds or Nottingham Forest than Newcastle or West Ham when we go down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
