Yep, just under a third of the season!

125 Prem games in total, still 11 s**t teams under threat. A lot of swings and upsets to come. We're creating chances at least. The positive atmosphere at away games and at the end of Man City at home really helped. If the board aren't gonna act then we certainly shouldn't just give up. Whether they ditch him or not, the boys are gonna need our support, no matter how many 'sitters' or clear chances they keep missing. No matter who gets picked or subbed on/off too.

I sat up late last night filling out a predictions table and we came 17th on 36 points! I adjusted it a few times and did have us down in 18th at one point but couldn't go to bed on that! I went back over it to adjust West Brom & Palace's results based on their recent form as I thought I'd been too harsh. West Ham were down at one point. Cardiff survived in one version, we beat them to 17th by 2 goals in another! Fulham were always dead. West Brom and Palace both had their turns down. Possibly Sunderland too (didn't record any of the data).

I don't do Yellalee's Prediction League but here's what I had for us:-
Spurs H L
Villa A L (play well but tight/'unlucky' defeat)
Stoke H W (I presume this would make it our only double?)
Southampton A L
Sunderland H W
Swansea A D
WBA H W
Fulham A L (I think I had this down as the only remaining game they'd win!)
Liverpool H L (heavy defeat, obvs)
Man Utd A L (seen a few predict a draw there and though many have broken long standing winless runs there this season, I can't see us getting anything)
Chelsea A L
Arsenal H D (in my prediction table Arsenal were long since out of the title race come this match)

Who knows what's gonna happen? One thing for certain is that nothing is certain. Yet.
OTBC!
I'm now off to hammer in some more goals in footy training as we prepare for our own relegation struggle - which looks far more doomed than City's!
Maybe see you all at Spurs home & possibly Swansea away...

ps. Don't try and label me an inner or outer, it's not as black and white as that. I'm a supporter first and foremost and I will continue to be long after Hughton, the current squad & McNally et al (hopefully in that order too) - whatever the division. At least I don't have a season ticket any more to have to endure footy like we're playing. I've seen 5 home & 1 away this season and am glad I don't have Clare's annual conundrum of whether to renew or not. Hard for people to give up their seat after so many years (and she's got a brilliant view of play at the very top of the middle block in the Jarrold), knowing they won't get it back but knowing it'd mean more dullness and frustration in the short term. I've always preferred playing. One day my knees will say 'no more' though... Eligible for Veteran's League from next season!
