At least the games will mean something this season.

Every point will be valuable. Spirit de '99 and all that.
Ever cheared an equaliser as much as when Pringle got us back to 2-2 at home to Newcastle in the last minutes?
The disbelief at Villa Park when we came back to win with 10 men and Brownie in goal?
I'm kinda looking forward to this afternoon now.

See y'all there.

sad how we managed to get to this stage.

We remained in the comfort zone for too long without looking too seriously into it. Now it looks like we could be bit on the ass.

We really need a good performance today to cheer everyone up.

We were on the brink of moving up to the next level. Kiely, Rufus, Costa, Parker, Jensen, Di Canio. The spine of the team, solid as a rock (maybe a D. Bent to partner Di canio up front).
Look at the state of us through the middle now. Not a bean at the centre of defence or midfield. Hopefully Reid will prove a decent acquisition.

Christ,
add Young and Konchesky as full backs, Darren Bent up front, that would of been a top sx side.

Stone

Well, maybe Mills and Powell...... ;-)

Is it really that bad?

If so, anyone got spare razor blades?
