This is what happens when you make a profit in transfer windows and do your shopping at the cut price, heap of shite player store

In particular
As soon as you embrace relegation it ceases to have any power over you. People say the club will have no money but hey, all it has done with the money its had so far is spend it on mediocre players' wages who have got you into this position. So you won't miss it or them. You'll be left with a core of players who might actually like playing for the club. Radical huh? Some of them might get a chance to shine now when the multi-million quid fat striker and his has-been mates have jumped ship.
Chances are once relegated the fans will see the club actually winning a lot of games and that is simply much more weekly fun than seeing a teeth-grinding home thrashing by Chelsea or getting caned away to Bolton. Yes, they might struggle but that at least will be a new battle; a change from the same old same old.
Here's what I believe; success is not surviving in the Premier League at all costs; success is giving the fans a good time, without bankrupting the club regardless of what position the club finishes. What is success anyway? I'd rather win the Johnstone's Paint Trophy than cling on to mid-table Premier League mediocrity and I refuse to buy this idea that it and only it is the football nirvana and we must all shudder in awe and orgasm before it even while accepting it does throw up some cracking games occasionally.
The Premier League and its sirens want to depict relegation as a kind of living death in order to ramp up the status of their league; to make it appear the shiny diamond-encrusted nipple atop the giant milky breast of success. But when you've won just six games all season and played horribly for 80% of the games, that is a lie we no longer believe.
The Premier League's 'this is the only game in town' brigade patronise the rest of football and intrinsically belittle noble football clubs who ply their trade in front of a dedicated audience outside the top flight.
This isn't a losers' mentality, rather it is a rational mentality with a wider perspective as to what is important about club football. To me just winning enough games to survive playing mostly ordinary football; never bad enough to go down, never good enough to win anything is actually the living death that the Premier League would have us believe is relegation.

Don't even get me started on Martins btw. And Nolan is a fucking carthorse unfortunately.
The black Beardsley tbh
-
Imagine him against Shearer in his prime? Would be embarrassing
-
Bassong and Taylor hopefully from now on, have the floppy haired clown put down
-
Next week is a crunch fixture.
Bassong needs to play
-
Wish the commentators would fuck off. Since the 2nd goal they are completely
over ChelskiMissed our chances, gifted them 2 goals, our usual drill
-
Coloccini = Boumsong mark 2
-
Dear me
-
-
Drogba and Bosingwa both out... Which is nice
That's good. I had visions of the former terrorising our defence (especially if it's a makeshift one).
Coloccini will be delighted
-
I don't give a fuck what you think bitch!
He's not all there that lad
-
Stroller's knacked for this one, more good news
-
At least now we have something to believe in, however temporary it may be
-
Just cannot understand this blind loyalty in jonas.
Can't whip it in
Can't pass
Can't score
Regularly loses posession
Madness, pure madness.
Fuck considering your blind support of Ashley and the cunts for so long your opinion on anything has to be seriously questioned.
I can think of more games where Jonas has contributed more 75% of the team than I can where your criticisms of him are actually correct.
Like I said play him on the left where he wants to play and watch him contribute.
It's a shame we don't have a genuine right winger
Stevie tbh.
T?

Not a great surprise, chequebook manager found wanting when he couldn't outspend the opposition
At least he had the balls to take the job on
-

PS: The intriguing possibility has emerged that the Shearer appointment is linked to a new investor iin the club and he's been persuaded to take the position by someone other than Ashley and Llambias. The events of the coming days will doubtless prove or disprove that theory.
From dot com, too good to be true
-
Wise has gone according to Setanta.
One of Shearer's conditions probably
-
Mustn't have been bringing in enough youth players as per his job description
-
What happens if I kick your lass in the cunt?
The bloke next door gets a sore head
-
My mate from work is off to Paris and has just seen Dennis Wise at the dropoff point at the airport looking mightily pissed off!
Was he sitting in the basket/hand luggage end of the trolley??
Naughty step for throwing his ice-cream at someone

Dowie right hand man. SKY SPORTS BREAKING NEWS
I like Dowie, comes across as a good communicator.
That's the ugliness quota taken care of
