Say whatever you want, but the relegation thread last year was by far the best thread on GOT
A community of like-minded legends, and @matty1878
Can we pin a date on when @matty1878 will have a complete meltdown and declare us relegated. I'll go August 30th after Leeds beat us and before the Derby
And we won't replace them unfortunately. Moshiri will once again doom this team16 days until the first game of the season.
We still haven't replaced, with like for like or better quality of Sigurdsson, Digne, James and now Richarlison.
Basically our 4 most creative and attacking players over the past 2 seasons.
Can't and don't disagree with any of this. We don't score goals and struggle to keep them out which is a recipe for disaster.My prediction is 19th or possibly even 20th. This season has all the makings of a disaster:
- Top player sold - hard working, determined, passionate, attacking.
- No replacement for the player sold.
- No replacement for the dross that left - regardless of how poor they were, they were squad depth. Last season we struggled enough with depth.
- A defence that STILL isn't decided or settled. Disaster for both the GK to trust his defence and for the defence to understand each other.
- The worst midfield in the PL - Lack of options, lack of defensive stability, lack of attacking support.
- 1 striker who had a 3 month patch of goals and struggles with many attacking aspects - 1v1, outside the box etc.
- A backup striker who is a laughing stock in football. Most clubs have several strikers to choose from. We have the worst attack in the PL.
- A board who continually get involved and make terrible decisions. No plans over the years to bring young, hungry, eager players into the PL, instead opting for "stars" which has led to a lack of available funds for new signings.
- On the back of this, we're no longer an attractive option. Players are choosing the other club when there's options.
TLDR: We're in massive trouble.
I look back at Pembridge, Gemmill & Alexandersson with nostalgic eyes.

Scary this when you think about it. We were in the mess we were in last season due to the loss of Sigurdsson, Digne and James' goals and creativity. With Richy gone on top of this it's going to be much worse. We scored 43 goals last season and Richarlison was responsible for 15 of those so at this rate we're on to score 28 goals unless we do something in the market. We've 16 days to get a creative number 10 and a double figure winger at the very least to avoid a relegation battle.16 days until the first game of the season.
