Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB

As you say "beyond words". Haringey Borough have handled this in a very dignified manner and I hope the FA supports both them and Yeovil Town rather than punish them for walking off the pitch......

14/20 - Made me feel my age, given that I had been to quite a few of them........

Big Vince, given that you have us as nailed on for relegation, who are the other two teams that will come down with us in your opinion?.......

It is only a failure if you need a stick to beat the club with. At the beginning of the season it was made extremely clear that we did not have the resources to spend lots of money, that promotion had come earlier than expected, that winning the Championship was like conquering Everest and that staying in the Premiership would be like having to climb Everest again. As I have said elsewhere I intend to enjoy this season, I am not getting carried away with wins, I am not getting down about defeats. I am happy with the direction the club is going in terms of the head coach, the way we play, the youngsters we have etc. As I have also said elsewhere three teams will be relegated this season which means that a team that has spent money will get relegated.

So how would we get the ball to Roberts?, play it long and hope that ball is accurate, or play it out and pass into his feet?.......

So what should "Plan B" be?...........

In fact I will go as far as saying beating us 5-1 could relegate Villa...........

Of course there is every chance that Villa come down with us, despite spending £140M.........

What I find interesting about this thread is the inability of the critics to debate and discuss the issue, so I say again, three teams will be relegated at the end of the season, there is a high probability that at least one of those will have spent a lot of money on their squad so spending lots of cash is not necessarily the answer. I accept that maybe we were a bit too frugal, however each season clubs that spend big get relegated from the Prem, you also need to consider the danger of chasing the Premiership dream (Bolton and Portsmouth spring immediately to mind), so getting the balance right is difficult.

I agree with the OP, Delia should have tucked that header away in the first half to make it 1-1 and do not get me started on the poor pass from Wynn-Jones that gifted the fourth goal to Villa........

Just assume we get relegated, two other teams will come down with us, it will be interesting to see how much they spent, Villa might be one of those teams. Anyway Ippo have finally found their level and their fans are in no position to comment on other teams owners given the track record of their owner.........

Football is a funny old game........

I get that, but the thread is about how we have been found out tactically, somebody forgot to tell Man City so I can only assume they do not have enough resources to research us before they played us......

We played this way all last season so I am mystified at how we have suddenly been "found out".........

Well those that are not injured kept running to the very end of the game today. Personally I am not going to write us off after just 8 games, particularly given the amount of injuries we have. I would suggest losing so many key players to injury would be an issue for most teams........
