        i agree to a degree (NCFC) - Tombs, May 8, 12:09:57
        
        but where does a cup run fit into the momentum theory? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 8, 12:03:45
        
        Yes it should. Hence my bewilderment at the attitude of so many managers (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 8, 12:06:34
        
        that was really disgraceful by Southampton (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 8, 12:11:26
        
        Lambert as well... we were safe as houses when we played Leicester (NCFC) - phrankin, May 8, 12:30:52
        
        two schools of thought i suppose (NCFC) - Tombs, May 8, 12:05:57

        Absolutely bang on the money. And a SHOCKING implied criticism of Hughton there too ;) (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 8, 12:11:49
        
        Indeed, that and the weakened team against Fulham in the cup (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 8, 12:16:10
        
        And speaking of that Villa game, did you ever read this Meca? (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 8, 12:15:51
        
        yeah, I remember reading it at the time (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 8, 12:20:42
        
        " leaves your best, most influential player, Wes Hoolahan, on the sidelines" (NCFC) - phrankin, May 8, 12:24:52
    - further to this, I remember (NCFC) - Nelsons final flanel, May 8, 11:46:19
      - Yep, Villa supposedly about to be sold. That can go one of two ways. (NCFC) - bird table, May 8, 11:53:47
      - Yes. I was raging at that at the time! Maybe he's not so clueless after all (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 8, 11:49:06
    - I suppose the point is that 'established' doesn't mean 'immune from relegation' (NCFC) - norway, May 8, 11:43:52
      - Yep VMT Swansea too (n/m) (NCFC) - Nelsons final flanel, May 8, 11:49:57
        
        West Brom surely. (NCFC) - norway, May 8, 11:52:33
        
        Nope. Swansea, Hull and Burnley. Hull have only *just* stayed up after their best season (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 8, 11:56:05

        Can't believe Monk will keep them up over a full season. I think their board are slowly (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 8, 12:01:15
        
        True. It will be interesting to see what kind of summers WBA and Swansea have. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, May 8, 12:03:29
  - Villa and Chelsea were both second division sides when I was younger (NCFC) - norway, May 8, 11:34:19
    - Will they though? (NCFC) - Nelsons final flanel, May 8, 11:48:59

      - See "Segers, Hans" (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 8, 11:49:29
