You can see why such complacency would come about as after each loss, everyone was too congratulatory, month after month of, "yeah we lost but we can take positives out of the game" rather than what really should be said is, "We lost. Again. This has to stop."

But then suddenly I think the realisation finally FINALLY settled - we've ****ed it. Shit, we're actually a few wins away from safety and the games are running out, we can't put this off any longer or hope for the best, we have to start actually winning games and not just talking about positives. I wish this realisation would have happened in December and then maybe our wins would be more important than the losses around us but it's better late than never.

You especially got a sense of this in the second half of the WBA game where practically every player was in the WBA half and we just kept on non stop pressure and pace. It may not have come to much for a while but it was just ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK and no matter what sort of club you're playing, that style will have its rewards.

Anyway, you guys should at least get three points from the Stoke game and you should be able to take a point away from Everton at least. Plus you've got a game in hand and a three point lead from the drop.

Stoke is bloody hard though mate. Especially at their place. I'm thinking 32 points which will see us down. Burnley, qpr and us.
Had we won yesterday, I think we would have been ok. That's the incredible thin line in this league.

I also think highly of two members who just happen to be Arsenal fans. I would feel the same way about Arsenal if I didn't know any members who followed them. I enjoyed watching them back in the days of Tierry Henry, bergkamp etc..
apart from them, I don't rave about any other club (except my own) so not sure what you are getting at.

I don't know why your getting your knickers in a twist???

You really think Hull have what it takes, with their form and last run of games?

Yes. A win over burnley would put them ahead of us. I can see them getting a suprise point here or there. Can't say the same for us.

I think you might surprise yourselves. You guys do well without really doing anything extraordinary. It just seems that this season when you've lost, you've lost hard.

Come on lads lets not have how long you support this club or we have bigger crowds than you or our club has a better history.
The only reason why i started this thread was for us not just to post about your club but to talk all things in the world of football.
I don't mind criticism against my club Arsenal and i expect the same with the other members in the thread and its ok if some members want to have laugh just don't want anyone taking things personal, lets just enjoy the thread.

[Pizzamorg]

I don't think it's fair to address that to all of us considering it was only being generated by one of us. Banter is fine when you know your audience but if you don't you just come across as a bit of a tool, as in this case.

[tob]

My post is a fair post that is addressed to me and everyone in the thread as a reminder to just enjoy the thread, talk about your club if you want or talk about all things football and for none of us to take things personal.

[Pizzamorg]

Your principle is fair, but I think there is only one person here who has forgotten what this thread is all about. If you attack a club with a crap joke you can't expect someone to not take it personal. Taking it personal is the least of the worries here, it's the shit attempts at humour that were never needed.

Can we all just start again we got two good games today and i like to see Q.P.R beat Chelsea and do us a favour.

[Pizzamorg]

Unless QPR pull a surprise, they're gonna get hammered and that'd do US a big favour.

But i want them to do us a favour.

[Pizzamorg]

I think if maybe you had found your newfound form earlier you might have actually given Chelsea a run for their money but it seems a little late now but that should hold promise for next season, surely?

I agree it has come late for us but next season i expect a better challenge for the title but i still won't give up hope with the run in to the season.
Do you feel confident that Leicester can beat the drop and if Pearson does keep Leicester in the premier league will he have the respect from the Leicester fans again.

Most will testify that I very much, have a sense of humour. I don't see the joke in spending thousands of pounds on my club and having to witness that yesterday. It's not like we know each other well enough to have that sort of banter. I have very much been guilty in the past of speaking my mind too much, we both have imo. However, I just feel, in my honest opinion, you were determined to stir the pot again. Anyway, Tob started this thread so I will respect his post and leave it there.

Looks lke QPR might get a draw here! Not looking good at moment.
