If a fire can be lit with this lot, I'd think this last week will have done it. The whole footy world is banging on about how shit we are. About how shit they are. If they dont bring something tomorrow, I will seriously doubt that they can.
But being in the actual relegation zone will be more visceral. It will be a real wake up call all the way up the chain of command
Spursitis is a communicable disease - Leeds and Burnley both lose, leaving the Squeaky Bum Table like this:
Uh-oh. It seems West Ham have scored at Fulham. 1-0. 65'. I'd put it in the 'other teams' thread, but we all know why it's here.
And now Forest have equalized. What the ******** are Man City doing? As it stands we are 1 point above relegation.
Man City 2-2 Forest, FT. The Footballing Gods have opened up the skies and are pissing and shitting all over us. And this time it's fully deserved. We got away with last year and didn't heed the warning. These are the consequences.
And Forest earn a point at the Etihad. If we're going down, the ****s might as well win the league, eh? Misery pile on.
And that City result basically hands the title to Arsenal who are now 7 points clear. Even they won't bottle this.
It was always going to happen. Teams in danger put up a fight - except us, of course. Tomorrow is make or break.
At this rate, we may even be down before the end of the season. It would be just like us to get relegated away to Chelsea on the penultimate day of the season.
I won't be mad. Arteta deserves it. they stuck with him through 2 seasons where they finished 8th place. This is what happens when you take a longer term approach and give the manager time (if he's good)
And buy quality players, hire good scouts, a competent medical team, and a proper director of football, all things Daniel Levy failed to do in his disastrous tenure.
