Relegation

[rstevens]

Lampard has to take his fair share of the blame alright. Some ridiculous tactics esp v burnley , norwich and leicester.

However we went down during the period between november and February

We only needed a bounce though. He didn’t even give us that. Which is the point. And he brought in crap

 

[steven]

It's not a damning indictment of Lampard at all. The ship has been sinking for years and you're blanking the captain who's been brought in board in the last hour? Nonsense.

Have to disagree.

Benitez was woeful
Lampard hasn’t had enough about him to keep us up.

Both things can be true. Obviously a myriad of other issues in over overall demise but we were six points clear of bottom three when he arrived, we are five points adrift now. It’s that simple.

Looking very real now isn't it. I'll win fifteen quid when it happens at least. Doesn't seem as much of a consolation as I thought it might though.

Great stuff. Thank God there is some silver lining to look forward to at least.

Leeds and Burnley managers have got them out of trouble in 5 games and 3 games, Lampard has been here since Jan, we got the appointment wrong. Suicide.

Can't keep blaming Rafael

i can as if we didn’t appoint him we probably wouldn’t have lampard tryna get us out of this mess

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

They willingly welcomed an obvious doom, and continue to cheerlead for him. They repent or be banished in my opinion, along with the kenwright clappers

They were just doing what they thought was right (backing the manager in the hope he'd do well)

I don't blame them for this

Ultimately it didn't matter what the fans did. Moshiri was going to do what he was going to do regardless

I've never felt more disconnected from the club to be honest

Hope everyone is stock piling fruit and veg for the Palace game lap of honour.
These incompetent fools need chasing out of this club.

 

[Runub]

Still think 3 wins might do it..

……so we’re stuffed. Never going to get three goals never mind three wins

 

[Sharpies volley]

I've got a horrible feeling it's going to go wrong for City tonight

Me too mate.

 

[DanB90]

That Watford collapse was as bad as our versus Watford collapse smh
Conceded every home match this season, lost 11 in a row at home
If ever there was an 'Everton that' on the way
Still in our hands but tough ask now

You already know where their next home win is coming.

 

[kenada_blue]

Burnley fixtures - Villa - home, Spurs - away, Villa - away, Newcastle - home.

Leeds fixtures - Man City - home, Arsenal - away, Chelsea - home, Brighton - home, Brentford - away.

Us fixtures - Chelsea - home, Leicester - away, Watford - away, Brentford - home, Palace - home, Arsenal - away.

We need 3 wins and a draw to get 40.

Burnley need 2 more (Villa and Newcastle at home they'll get those).

Leeds in the same boat but have Brighton and Brentford (home) to get 6 more points.

 

[davek]

I dont even have that gut-wrenching fear anyomore. I'm resigned to this now.

If only we were a one club city and we could live in peace with the catastrophe.

It's at times like these I envy Newcastle.

 

[HannibalBarca]

Yeah Bill has made some mistakes but let’s not go in on him too hard he’s done a lot for this club

 

[Bluerover]

The mountain we needed to climb started the day as snowdonia and has finished as big as Olympus mons. It literally could not go any worse against us. There's no way out now for sure.

There were gods on top of Olympus - they would not tolerate our squad getting anywhere near them. Hephaestus would roast them before they got more than a hundred feet

There isn't going to be a lap of honour

i can as if we didn’t appoint him we probably wouldn’t have lampard tryna get us out of this mess

But Lampard is to blame just as much then, he's had half a season and the two managers of our relegation rivals are slapping, yet we are getting pasted away every game and getting deflected goals at home
