Who gives a toss about the big wide world. Lets just tweak the nose of a big boy and enjoy it. Why let the bullies have their own way all the time. This is what the plastics and armchair fans expect. They expect their team to wallop little teams like Brighton. This is why they follow them, to...

One is unlucky....two is eyebrow raising....three smacks of a combination of panic, lack of research and downright bad practice.

How can we afford to go down when the gap between the PL and the rest is widening by the season. Many clubs, larger and more successful than us are stuck in the Championship and cannot get out of it. They are forced to continually sell their better players and are falling further behind smaller...

But imagine how you would feel if we actually beat one of the big boys. It would change our mindset completely. All of a sudden, it wouldn't seem like the impossible dream and the boost in confidence would be immeasurable. We would all start to feel we belong in this division rather than just...

But would he be comfortable with that? We all know he loves a 2-0 defeat.

Too true. 1) Points in games where we have scored first = 17 ( W5 D2 L1 ) 2) Points in games where we have conceded first = 2 ( W0 D2 L10 )

The best part of two thirds through it.

Not necessarily. We made so many mistakes against Chelsea that other teams would have taken advantage as well. We played well against Bmuff but defended poorly. We played poorly at West Brom and defended poorly. It doesn't matter how well you play going forward, if your defence is a mess ( which...

Cannot, in all seriousness see anything from City, United or Liverpool. That leaves Arsenal and Tottenham at home. The Gunners are a massive bogey to us and have already rocked up twice to the Amex and won ( admittedly when we were in the Championship ) If a lack-lustre Spurs turn up, we might...

But you are heaping massive pressure on just a few games. Two wins, a draw and a defeat from these four games will not be enough if we are shedding points elsewhere. We have taken 8 points out of the last 39 and people are suddenly expecting us to rattle off a string of home victories ( 3 home...

We had little or no chance v Chelsea. They had decided that they needed to bounce back after a few draws recently ( they are still 12 games unbeaten ) and our new formation gave them every opportunity to hit us hard and early. Fans are forgetting the saves that Ryan made. Chelsea could easily...

Those who left early should be hanging their heads in shame. It is expected of everyone to remain behind and clap like demented seals, irrespective of the performance. The players expect it and want it. They crave your support at the end. Without it, their week ahead is empty and worthless. A...

If it hadn't been for Ryan, Chelsea would have been out of sight.

Nor me. At the moment, I would suggest that the three favourites to go down are Swansea ( poorest team in the Div ) and Brighton and Huddersfield based on recent record and not likely to benefit from NMRS ( New Manager Resurgence Syndrome )

Surely it was a massive step up for a club like Bournemouth ( much smaller fanbase, much much smaller ground and arguably, less potential ) but they seem to have worked out a survival formula. Their team is still the core of their Championship side and they are taking points off the big boys...

We don't move on, we move down. All the PL momentum, building a squad with the potential to survive at this level and then strengthening further, will be halted. If we don't get back again for 2-3 seasons, we will have lost a competitive edge against teams who have hung on at the highest level...

We lost that game from the k.o. We sat back from the start and let them dominate possession for the first 3 minutes. That gave them the confidence to push down the flanks and sure enough, before we could blink, along came an error ( Stephens ) and the door was unlocked. You cannot give a team...

...and with it went any chance of a competitive GD for the rest of the season. That is gone now, as there are definitely some hammerings still to come ( City, Tottenham, Utd, Liverpool ). So its wins now not narrow defeats.

No, it doesn't. To the outsider looking in, it calls for only one thing. With 42 points still to play for, would a fresh approach/outlook make any difference or do you stick with a manager whose tactics initially appeared to be working but have now foundered due to caution and inflexibility...

Assume you didn't go to Huddersfield.
