I'll believe when we get at least 9pts from West Ham, Wigan, Everton and Charlton. We're a third of the way there...
I was nervous and I only had the stupid BBC ticker coming up at random intervals during the rugby at the pub. People looked at me when I cheered but hey...
Great day's work, but but, no. Sorry. At least now I hope we can at least go down with some pride. I'd at least like us to finish above last place.
bournemouth had 9points at christmas one year and managed it.We feckin can but its literally **** or bust time now.
Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.--Anne Lamott
Hold your head high, stick your chest out. You can make it. It gets dark sometimes, but morning comes.... Keep hope alive.--Jesse Jackson
The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.
Whether we be young or old, Our destiny, our being's heart and home, Is with infinitude, and only there; With hope it is, hope that can never die, Effort and expectation, and desire, And something evermore about to be.--William Wordsworth (The Prelude)
I have to say no - we won't survive. The reason for this is - even if we get a streak going and win the games v. wigan and charlton - we still have a few points to make up. And it's down to a 4 horse race - it will be between Wigan, Addicks, spammers and us. If one of those three other teams win the matches against the other two - that's 6 more points we have to make up. I don't think we'll finish last and I don't think we'll go down by a large margin. But I do think we'll go down. On the other hand - a few people have mentioned hope, let's look at confidence. If the lads beat Wigan on tuesday we suddenly aren't last anymore. If we build confidence and momentum we just may be able to pull a few rabbits out of the hat. However - it will take lots of confidence and lots of rabbits. I almost don't care if we make it or not. If we put in efforts like todayt through the rest of the season and go down fighting - I can live with relegation because I know we'll come back stronger.
Without my being in France I'd have not been able to say Happy Birthday to you for another hour! Remember that when you're having a sly dig...
God damnit! Got a bit caught up there!! i meant dont trust the people who CHOOSE to live IN FRANCE Worse than the french!
after the anglo french bit... Yes i believe, if we can pick some big points up in the next 3 games, then we'll not only get close to the few above us , but really put the wind up their sails.......i have and always believed we can get out of this...we've got the talent, got the songs.....now 19000 horns have the belief! ps...Hendo to finish top scorer ;-)
it can be done if we win next wed if we lose i think its all over as long as wigan dont pick up points today and we can beat them then we got a chance of staying up
