cruzFOX Posted 22 February 2022 Share Posted 22 February 2022 I’m trying to be optimistic about a turn of form coming soon for us. However we are at a critical juncture in the season where teams above and below us are picking up points making our league position very uncertain. We need some major luck too in terms of injuries, getting all our players back, goals going in AND our nearest challengers to drop points. It’s a tall ask but that’s what it’s going to take to get out of this hole we’re in. That’s why I’m watching and praying in other games for results to go against our rivals. Anyone else doing the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazly Posted 23 February 2022 Share Posted 23 February 2022 Who would have anticipated, heading into the arse end of the season, that our forum polled top three stars for the season would be KDH, Sharky and Chouders? Well, I never did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"English football" is pushing it? Top flight maybe but there's plenty of rivalries with bite left in them throughout the Country. Lower league especially, the likes of Grimsby/Lincoln and Wrexham/Chester etc (I know both of those aren't currently in the same division either), it's just that the top flight is currently missing derbies such as Birmingham/Villa, Sunderland/Newcastle which have as much bite as we saw from Man Utd/Leeds on Sunday. Plus those two hadn't played each other in the league, with fans at Elland Road, for about 17 years because massive club Leeds have been between tiers 2 and 3. Years without playing make the game bigger. Edited 23 February 2022 by Fox92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say most of these games aren't played anyway as the teams are in different leagues. How many times has Blues Villa been played in the last decade for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a shame there's no Birmingham derby or Sunderland/Newcastle. Both are among the best rivalries in the Country. I'm guessing last time was when Villa were in the Championship for a couple seasons but with Sunderland's demise I dunno why they last played Newcastle. WBA probably won't come up this season so will miss out on the Black Country Derby next season again (no fans last season was a downer on that one). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentFox Posted 23 February 2022 Share Posted 23 February 2022 I had chicken, mushrooms and a white wine/cream sauce for dinner. Homemade, so it sounds better than it was. I just thought that as we are down to talking about Watford, Palace et al, we’d reached a nadir that my supper could lift us away from 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I'm raging because we spluffed £30m on Perez or £15m on Vestergaard, I think of united spending £80m on Slab and it doesn't seem so bad.
