For those of us who are still holding out hope of survival, what result would benefit us most in the Norwich vs Sunderland match this week? Probably a tie, no? The problem is Norwich...we can still possibly get 9 points which would give us 34 points (improbable, but let's just hope, shall we). That means Norwich would only need to get 3 points because of goal differential. Ugh...

I see many many many positives in all of this.

Omg Taylor again with a wayward back pass. I think you have to substitute him now.

Soooo, y'all ready for the beginning of the great escape tomorrow?

^^ Where are those projections coming from? Are they your own, or off some website?

Mike Williamson next season, eh?

I.m going to guess 'who is the Fat Lady, and why do we have to wait for her to sing before it''s all over?'

Well, we do need some players to play down in that league, don't we? Not saying he's Pirlo, but we do need to field 11. Tiote has aged twenty years since he first arrived. He is slow as fuck. LIke many others we've signed.

I'd try like heck to keep Gini, Mitro, Perez, Mbemba, Shelvey, all the younger players lke Aarons. The rest I'm not arsed about. But getting better defenders than we have now is a pipe dream.

Rangeresque there.

If we keep the same back line in the Championship we will go down to League One.

Before half again. Rafa saying to his team, "yeah, that's the guy you have to mark you fuckheads"

Omg, we are so screwed. The back line looks clueless, as usual.

Some of you may still be awake so I'll make this declaration right now. I swear if we go down, SOMEONE on this forum is going to get a real hurt. I'm not going to say who, but SOMEONE!

Guys, I used to play goal from time to time in my Sunday league, and once, I saved a penalty. More than CT has done I'm sure!

You have to be joking? Only this club. This is not the right time to say I told you so, but I did say we needed to sign a goaltender as well in the winter. Hope he's okay.

Off topic, but when do we play Norwich already?!!!! Damn international breaks!

I miss him as much as he missed one foot sitters.

Exactly. Even if we stay up my money is on Rafa with a short stay with us.

Well, look at the substitution patterns between Rafa and Mclaren. Shtevie basically brought in the same players in the same positions all season long to no avail. Whereas last week when Anita was awful and we were getting nothing from midfield,he moved Gini alongside Shelvey, DeJong at the #10 spot behind Mitro. Same this week. Took out Colback, moved Sissoko to LB (which he played well and seemed more confident to join the play form there), and maneuvered the shape of the team so our best players were on. Love it.

Must say, Sissoko looked mint at left back.

Rafa, we do not have the players to play the kind of football you want.

Our players are not very smart. Bob Elliot could have saved that.

Omg...someone hold me! Not you CT!
