Well, they are doing a pretty good job imitating it at the moment. Better than we are. The appear to be the 2011-2013 equivalent of us in the mid 90s. As much as you sneer about them not winning every game, they are picking up far more points than us.

Its about time the UK had a formal mechanism for calling referrenda on single issues. Here in Austria, if you can get 100,000 signatories to an issue, the government is OBLIGED BY LAW to call a referrendum.

Guly.

This.

Sometimes I cannot believe what I read on here. Jesus.

With 2 games to go (even if Wigan win their game in hand) we are 14th. If we cannot raise our game and get one result from our last 2 games, we would deserve to go down.

No goals in 3 games indicates either a significant drop in performance or we have been sussed out. Both are extremely worrying going into the last 2 games.

Have a look at the thread and decide for yourself, if you are uncertain.

I agree, but its an affliction that we have witnessed on this site too..

Nope, there is simply more aspects to discuss when things arent going right. Funny how so many people simply dont get that.

I know, it was a joke. I would prefer to give Sir Alf the benefit of the doubt; he did drop Jimmy Greaves for Geoff Hurst. Seems he knew what he was doing. unlike many who have come since.

Because he wasnt even born yet, let alone knobbing other player's wives and girlfreinds ?

At least I have the elan not to dismiss your differentiating opinion as being the result of a mental illness; you make yourself look ever more stupid.

Shhhhh.......

Or the happy-clappies, for that matter. These unemotional analysts you refer to are gradually shortening the odds on us. And you are taking comfort from this ?

Hush now, troll.

I dont think you get it. Wigan and Villa are doing NOW what we used to do in those relegation battles you are referring to. Its us that are looking like we are up sh*t creek without a paddle. The only consolations that I see are that Sunderland have just received an ass-whupping and Norridge and Toon look as clueless as us.

England managers NEVER pick the best team. For Hoddle then, look at Hodgson now.

Shouldnt be like this. I reckon 1 more point will be enough, and we should have got that last week. But MP was running his mouth off in the press about Champions League. How can the team be focussed if the manager isnt ?

And now you are going to get them abusing you even more for being correct and because they are too emotionally immature to find an appropriate outlet for their frustration.

Yes. The difference is, that whilst us "negatives" are simply being straight and open about the fact, the happy-clappies cant admit it so have resorted to being even more abusive than their usual level (which the mods let them get away with, because its shrouded in "positivity" about the team).

There is a world of difference between momentary losses of concentration leading to dropped points (of which there a several notable examples this season) and simply not turning up for a game, as we did last week. Which is why I think that will be the one we look back upon.

Odd.

Maybe he doesnt like feeling obliged to converse during the game ? Maybe he is fully focused on the events on the pitch ? Is there any evidence of him being an ignorant anti-social SOB in the hospitality afterwards ?

Whats he said about MLT now ?
