There will a concertina effect of dragging other teams into the relegation fight and we will be in the thick of it - and still in the cup. You always have to win your own games to achieve anything and we can still do that. Eight days to decide how the season will look, starting tomorrow.

CDMullins 442 Posted February 25, 2022 23 hours ago, Fiery Zac said: This thread is more proof of reactions based on poster rather than post, which is just bizarre hit very interesting. On Saturday Ricardo declared we were relegated months ago. Zero reaction. He’s lauded as one of the best posters on here…because he does a match report? Because he’s old? Because he’s been a member for a long time? Now I have no idea who he is or what sort of person he is. But in all honesty as a poster I generally find him very negative (whilst claiming it’s just realism) and also extremely condescending when challenged. He’s also wildly inaccurate when making predictions yet somehow has the aura of an oracle. But I don’t criticise every post because of who he is, and in fact if I look back I guarantee I have liked a lot of his posts and been very complimentary in conversation with him. This isn’t supposed to be a Ricardo bashing post but merely an example of one poster who is portrayed in the opposite to my general opinion but who, along with everyone else, deserves their post to be read before a reaction is made. And if an automatic, subconscious reaction forms, surely the time between auto response and writing a reply, the brain will kick in and the poster will realise just how unnecessary their reaction is? I find LDC (and many others) is judged simply for being LDC and not for what he posts. I entirely agree with the OP and will remain forever the optimist until it is mathematically certain we are down or are out of the cup etc. I don’t understand the thought process of thinking or saying we were relegated months ago or we’re doomed etc. if you believe that then why bother going/watching? Do posters get satisfaction out of acting all knowing? They may well be right and we get relegated but it is not done and dusted yet. Records are there to be broken and what an amazing story it would be. We have seen many Norwich miracles in our time, and many in the last decade or so. So many special special moments. Who’s to say the great escape won’t happen and become the next in a long line of fantastic city moments. The man's an attention seeker. Who knows when to stir the pot. With zero credibility. Should be treat like the fool/troll/WUM that he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarclayWazza 91 Posted February 25, 2022 I wonder after a night like tonight what LDC thinks after settling down with his Horlicks and reading this thread back..... If tonight was to be savoured, im sorry you were disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If tonight was to be savoured, im sorry you were disappointed. Yup, disappointed. Outplayed and outthought. I thought Southampton were a really good side tonight, but it is hard to think anything other than we just aren't cutting it in midfield. Looked a lot better when Rupp and PLM came on and I thought Pukki did well with the scraps he was given, turning nothing balls into possible chances. Gunn did pretty well too. On to the next one I guess, hope for better in the cup - maybe Rupp and PLM will get a start in that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
