[Football] Gut feeling - Albion saying up or going down?

[Weststander]

If we complete the season we stay up my only concern with how our fixtures fall if we may slip into the bottom 3 at some point and it will be just our luck that is the point it gets voided!

Voided = we stay up.
Any other curtailment, likely to decided on points per game.

 

[Stat Brother]

You are going to have to expand on that!

A couple of missed open goals, attempting to sit on a lead, selecting a spectacularly slow attacking 'force'.

You know the usual stuff.

If it's anything like the German games, who the hell knows? Apart from Bayern winning & Dortmund looking decent, all the teams look a bit all over the place, inconsistent and unfit. Really hard to predict games.

That said, I am an eternal pessimist, and am so frustrated that we are even any where near the bottom 3, that I voted that I think we'll go down.

When have we tried to sit on a lead? In fact when did we last have a bloody lead? Villa at home? Jack Grealish ALWAYS scores against us, the ****

Rumbling gut from last nights curry.. just dropped some Palace fans off at the pool.
Enough about my gut feelings

Selhurst Park.

We outclassed them for 70 minutes, then ...... the football inevitable.

Another player who nearly always scores against us

Throwing away 2 vital points at Selhurst, of all places,. instantly springs to mind.

Plus I really wanted to use the word 'tranche'.

 

[Barham's tash]

Down. But as long as this doesn’t force TB to review his or Potter’s position then I’m not that fussed.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

I've a feeling we'll stay up - but if we go down I won't really be that upset. I rather enjoyed us tearing teams a new hole when we were in the Championship.

An odd statement, but I'd rather we stayed up so that Uncle Tony could carry on getting back what he's put in. He's a brilliant owner and deserves to sit at the top table.

 

[Tiptoe through the NSC]

Staying up. We are now a possession based team, an advantage when playing in heat. Goal difference won't be required.

 

[hart's shirt]

We had a decent start first time around with Potter's tactical nous.

We'll have another one with more of the same.

It's not that much of an advantage when the opposition know you can't hit a cows arse with a banjo and will cough up at least 1 golden opportunity in front of your own goal.




As I've been saying:-

'Football will be the ruin of NSC'.

 

[Silverhatch]

Win all 9 and qualify for Europe to piss on Sheff U's bonfire.

 

[London Irish]

I’m tipping on the pessimist side of fence. It’s not quite happened for Potter but I guess there could still be 3 worse teams than us

 

[macbeth]

No idea, the league under these circumstances is going to be a totally different animal. Will need to see which Brighton side turn up as well, as there are times when we have been both sublime and humiliatingly bad this season. So, fence.

 

[DJ NOBO]

We weren’t very good in packed stadia.

[Guinness Boy]

Down. We'll play ok but our games are too dificult and we still haven't won a game this year.

 

[DJ NOBO]

The time off could mean we slip out of that rut of shitness we were in, and we play happier football.

I’m basing this on the principle that on the rare occasions that I play football Now , I’m Always good for the first ten Minutes or so. It’s like I’ve forgotten that I’m shit. Then I revert to my standard poor man’s Gary Dicker self. Apply that to ten Premier League games and we might get over the line.

Staying up. We are now a possession based team, an advantage when playing in heat. Goal difference won't be required.

We seem to expend a lot of energy keeping possession or winning it back.

Whilst some other teams such as CP, Wolves and Watford are happy to forego possession, sit back, then mug teams on the counter. In heatwave conditions, they might prosper the most.
