Worried about the future

[Niall_Quinn]

Nah, think the relegation battle talk is far too premature, I can't even keep a straight face whenever the topic comes up. If we're still in this position at Christmas then yes it's time to really hit the panic buttons. I believe we will patch enough of this shit up to climb the table, but obviously not anywhere near the top 4 and probably not the Europa League either.

It cannot be denied though that our form over the past 20 games or so resembles that of a side who will struggle to avoid relegation. It's very concerning.

It's a mistake to ignore the worst case scenario. How many times have we said, "Surely not?", and the team then goes on to achieve the unthinkable? If last year demonstrated anything it's that we are capable of pushing new boundaries in terms of abject failure. So many were saying third was unthinkable. I assumed 4th, but only because I knew the games would run out and it would be mathematically impossible for us to achieve 5th.

I agree. Look at the way we are, we can't defend we show no commitment we conceded 4 to Rovers FFS! Swansea dominated at the Emirates for large chunks of the match...

The dark part of somebody else's mind might want us relegated just for the investment opportunity. Two billionaires attached to the club and we're wondering if we can stay up. LOL.

If this ever happened we'd soon find ourselves in division 2, one thing you need in the championship is battling qualities.....we have plenty of bottlers.
