What is this 2!gamesn and then 10 days avisance strstrgy now the facts are 3 games in 10 days against three teams below us starting this weekend If we lose all three it will very very different Everton Newcastle WBA All guaranteed more than 38 on current form don'tbet against villa hull doing the same and so do rhe maths a big qpr recovery under a new manger amd the bar Gets a lot higher than people seem to think on here and its starts to look at lot more tricky and that window yet again very very poor strategicafly under invesmern Bill is ariving now as our lack if quality is exposed lets hope we have the resources to pay it . Hull and Everton huge games villa a wrire off for me Stop talking bollocks, our current form is better than Castle and only marginally worse than WBA. Miles ahead of Villa and slightly better than Hull. If we are in that much danger, by your reckoning all we need to do is sack Hughes and get a new manager and we're guaranteed to see an upturn in form.

I never said sack Hughes stick to the facts we have 33 points need another seven have lost the spine of our team and play three games against. Teams belowj us in 10 days it's a season defining 10 day period

You are automatically assuming teams with new managers are going to pick up more points, that's the point I meant with regards sacking Hughes. We're not gonna suddenly lose 13 games on the trot no matter how bad an injury list we have. It just doesn't happen to clubs with decent standard squads.

What amazes me is the complancency on here of guaranteed safety I said at the weekend shawcross will be very lucky to play 5 more games muniesa is now out until april Walters will be lucky to play half the matches No matter what the chairman says the huth decision is a nightmare We are absolutlety not there and after hull and Everton reallt only sunderland at home as what might be classed as a favourable fixture There is still an awful lot of work to do to get 40 points as it would be foolish to assume west brom ,palace , Newcastle and villa now won't get theee and hull and qpr suddenly have new energy and improving results . We are doomed.

Nobody said we were doomed and nobody said we were going to lose 13 games just that we need 7 points and the first three are crititiclal as after thats it's
West Han , Chelsea' , Spurs . Liverpool. Southampton Swansea a WBA that make up the last few with only sunderland as potential respite . on the basis of the last few games without shawcross and Bojan And say Walters for half how many do you honestly think we will win from mid March .

We've picked up 4 points from QPR and Newcastle with the same spine missing - and players are going to be coming back very soon.
Saturday is a very big game - but there's no real reason to think we won't react in the right way, arrest this mini-slide and get a point. We're only a game and a half removed from being one of the most in-form sides in the country.
It'll take an abject performance on Saturday for me to be in the least bit worried - and I think there's too much about the squad to allow that to happen.

Football is not played on paper, we won at Man city, Spurs and Everton.

Yes it is, but for somebody who a year or so ago was playing for a czech amateur team, who is just coming back from a broken foot, has never played in a level remotely like the premier league, to go up against Benteke and Agbonlahor is maybe a bit much to start with? Aren't Villa the weakest attacking side in PL history so far this season? That's because Lambert only played 1 up front, he isn't there anymore and Sherwood knows they have to attack more or they are down

Thank God I'm drinking on Saturday and not driving! Reckon I'll need a few to calm the old nerves! I'd go for one over the eight Jamo. A gentle snooze through the match will probably help

The same "cunts" who've got our team to 33 points and a virtual guarantee of Premier League football again? Sometime I detest this board and some of the people who use it. The same players who get paid grotesque amounts of money and then just don't 'turn up' for our biggest game of the season. Our captain said it himself after the game. It was a disgusting performance, again as our captain described it. And I am still furious about it. Don't be so precious. And that league position was largely achieved through the players who are injured, my vitriol is directed towards the awful, useless shower of shit that ruined our big chance on Saturday. Are you really that wound up about it, 4 days after ...? Is your life that worthless and meaningless and dull and frustrating, that you are wringing your hands with angst and anger over losing a football match....? You need help fella !!! Theres more to life than the bubble of Stoke City you know

Good to see normal service is resumed. I've missed Benjy's doom laden posts since he last ate humble pie.

He's back. Been in hiding for months then miraculously reappears after a couple of defeats. Keep peddling your bullshit because everything you post turns out to be emphatically wrong.

I'd swear there was someone on here asserting (quite a few times!) that we wouldn't get 25 points by Xmas... It was 20 actually. :-)
