Thanks for the feedback on my guesses on what Wes would say. Christ.

Or he'll do the Man City in third tier routine.

I bet he says Swansea. I bet he does.

Ummm, you have been reading this forum recently? The reality is we're finishing tenth this season and next season we're realistically targeting top four but we will accept 10th which will be a "better" tenth than Swansea and West Brom who only achieve "meaningless" tenth place finishes.

...barely needs mentioning but these scenarios of Wigan AND Villa going on miracle winning runs also requires various other teams overhauling our points and GD. We're safe.

Err, quite the opposite sunshine. I make throwaway comments which then get pointlessly analysed and requoted by divs for weeks afterwards until such point I am proven right. If you want hilarity, ask the plank who has never met me who put ten quid on WHU going down purely to prove me wrong. It's like something off of The Day Today.

Get in the queue behind the planks having a pop at me for saying we won't finish tenth. See you all in May where you can all apologise.

"if you ignore the last three games, and the QPR game, and of course the first eleven games of the season, we've been as good as Liverpool this season"

Yes, but they are hovering around mediocrity, had a meaningless second half of the season and didn't even try and go for the Champions League. Eurgh. The thought of having a boring season like West Brom makes me physically sick. Saints are much, much better than that.

Pretty sure we're going to finish tenth, aren't we?

This would be why... Oh, he's such a card. What japes.

Is the season over then? That was quick. We're not going down. We're safe.

Well, you know relegation and that? It won't happen to us this season.

Because we won't get relegated this season. We are, how you say, "safe" from relegation.

We are safe you plank. Easily.

Yes. We desperately need 44 points. Of course we do. Because Villa AND Wigan are going to merrily bag ten points in the last four games. And if the miracle happens then of course Sunderland, Newcastle and Norwich will all get more points than us. Of course. We're as good as down. Great trolling Dalek. Keep it up. It is, like, sooo funny.

Lost heavily to a team hovering in mediocrity, in the middle of a meaningless second half of the season who didn't even bother trying to get into the top four. We should be ashamed of losing to a team so utterly beneath us.

This. Even though they were all correct, still brave of the ref to dish them out.

So the club is going to be funded through bowling competitions and annual five-a-side tournaments with £800 a time flooding into the coffers. I think they might need to throw in a Tombola and a Bake Sale or two if they want a "competitive" squad.

Newcastle never looked back after they qualified.

I'd pick the Champion's League one but only on condition that our 1976 FA win is removed from all records and everyone's memory.

Uefa Cup. Winning a trophy all day long. I'd take the League Cup or FA Cup over top four too.

...and the same again for the next ninety nine months, presumably?

They're not rock botton of the third division, they're "still amongst the stars" if you take this forums favourite quote.

There seems to be a deranged obsession on here about what "we" should "aim" for, coupled with the usual "shoot for the moon" rent a quote. When it doesn't matter what "we" (people on here) aim for. People on here saying we should go for fourth doesn't actually mean the team will then more likely finish ninth. People on here saying "try and stay up first" won't actually get us relegated. I refer you to our chum Lighthouse who despite his sneering and blustering about how finishing ninth and winning a cup is "obscurity" and "wouldn't want many seasons like that"....is now suddenly saying that would be fine for us next season after all. Oh, good. Me too. So what exactly are these people drivelling about?
