Seven minutes..!

Watching...!

Dead easy. The sky commentators are much happier now as well...!

This is the crux of their success this season, I have watched them quite a few times this season. They have played fast free flowing attacking football, looking to get forwards at every opportunity. Tella has exploited the spaces and run in behind defences time and time again, they are much more direct than our slow, patient, ineffective, keep ball, create nothing style. Currently, comparing us to Burnley is like chalk and cheese.

It's probably the most naive quote anybody in professional football could make. Get the league position right and pretty much everything else falls into place. Massive clusterfuck.

I don't think our fans do conflict. As we speak, I bet the club are planning a 'lap of appreciation' for the players at the last home match.

We break all the wrong records.

Yeah, I agree.

We will get absolutely spanked. I said we shouldn't be allowed on the same pitch as City, and the same applies here.... we are worlds apart. If we get out with a 6 nil we will probably still 'take the positives out of the game'....! Big respect to those that travel.

Unfortunately though, most of them won't. What little quality we do have will go, JWP, KWP, Tella etc, but we will be stuck with the majority of them for some time to come.

Which would probable take this team about 12 games to amass....!

Not with this team it hasn't. In order to win games you have to score goals, we don't. In order to draw games you have to be both physically and mentally tough - we aren't. We are a very, very poor football team - there was no hope of ever avoiding the drop.

I don't know why everybody is getting so het up about this - we have been relegated for absolutely months. Today is just another nail going in, we basically went down when the Welsh clown came into town, that was an astoundingly stupid football decision in anybody's book. With our 'strikers', and complete lack of goals or of anybody who can create - we were doomed to the drop months ago. Relax, it's gonna be a long ride down and I don't think it will be bottoming out in the Championship either - some of our players ain't gonna cut it there either.

Another must win game, we'll lose.

VVD coming to the end of his time at Liverpool, caught under the ball for Arsenal's second?

He's simply the fall guy in a season of complete and utter incompetence by so many so called professionals at the club. The 2 managers that got us relegated will not have their cv's tarnished with relegation from the Premiere League, that will be on Rubens record. No he's not the answer, but he was offered an opportunity that no one in their right mind would pass up. Not his fault, I mean how many clubs could actually appoint 3 crap managers in a single season?

I'm just looking forwards to hopefully having the real basics of being a fan again. Going to games with at least a little optimism that we may actually win, hopefully seeing some goals, maybe even winning a few games with ease. Hopefully competing, and not being out of the game as soon as we go one down - just simple things really. As a club we have really lost our way it's really going to take some turn around to start to get us going in the right direction, hopefully the championship will do that, but I fear we could fall further still.

Well I did say before the game that we shouldn't be allowed on the same pitch as City, and after today we won't be again for many years I would guess. Gone without so much as a fight.... what a mess SFC is, shyte.

Standard....

Unfortunately it's one of those that shouldn't be allowed, football needs to be weighted like boxing now, then we wouldn't have to step on the same grass as City! Perversely I'll be pretty pissed if we get anything against this lot having already secured our demise by pissing away points against much easier opposition. Couldn't give a toss either way to be honest.

What will 'we' look like by the time 'we' get there. Probably some way different to how 'we' look today, anything of quality will have long gone, it's not going to be an easy ride next year, not by a long shot.

You could've made that post much, much shorter, only 3 words required...!

Potters problems at Chelsea emanated largely from the fact that they couldn't score goals (sound familiar?). If he struggled to get goals out of the highly expensive, multi talented squad at Chelsea, how on earth would he get goals from our donkeys? It's a non starter.

Be careful what you wish for, given the state of the club and squad, don't just expect some sort of magical renaissance next year. Our downwards trajectory could last for quite a lot of seasons yet before this clusterfuck is sorted out. I think there is more pain to come yet.

Think of it as a blessing, we could play for another 3 days and not score.
