And I can say that with experience because we’ve lost to these fuckers 11 times in a row, and I felt no more happier with the narrow 2-1 defeat at the Emirates than the 5-0 four/five months earlier.

I don’t think it will make a bit of difference as to what happens against Chelsea, we will either win that game or we won’t. Although arguably you could say that a heavy defeat could be even more positive because it might lead things albeit too late to be properly changed around.

But again no defeat is a good result. So it’s just easier to state that it’s unlikely we can get a good result
no, because as i state above, in the context of the likelihood of our winning, a good result is actually to lose narrowly - it doesn't mean i will be happy with a loss but frankly compared to what could happen I'd take a fiercely-contested 2-1 defeat right now

again as i said above, to win heavily would be a fantastic result, but it's very unlikely

you clearly don't understand the concept of pride in one's football club or what a heavy defeat says about its prospects, that's where the size of the defeat comes in - ask those Spuds and Man U fans we've all enjoyed laughing at whether they're not bothered about the size of those respective 6-1 and 7-0 defeats they've had recently, I think even you would know what they would say...

They'll be queueing up to laugh at us tonight and i for one don't want that to happen - sure they can laugh at a tight defeat but it won't be the same as if we're trashed

context is everything
