Not giving up yet, but it's been bleak since the Swansea game on Jan. 28th, and continues to be so. Let's be honest, our chances of nicking a point here were virtually nil, so we've got to move on to Cardiff where, even away, our chances increase exponentially. BUT. If, and only if, WE CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO KEEP THE BLOODY BALL OUT OF OUR OWN EFFING NET!!!

Sorry. Been a long season. See you next match. Get some Maker's. You'll feel better. And besides that, It's Derby Time.

 

Anybody happen to have the pre game show, Premier League Live? Don tells me a picture of Kendall and I was on it. Would love to get a copy or some sort of video of it.

 

People will say it's Chelsea and we didn't expect anything. West Brom away was a tough ask. But in a relegation fight, you need to pull the odd result, especially early in the new manager's tenure. But we continue to see the same problems 2 weeks into Magath's run. At some point you have to admit we just aren't good. 3 managers, no change. I'm to point where I don't believe the problems are fixable.

I keep reading that there are winnable matches on the fixture list, but are they? We can't score. And we can't defend. Aside from Cardiff and maybe one other match, I don't see anyone else we can beat. Draw, maybe. But there's not enough quality in the side and we don't play well as a team. It'll just be a matter of time. We'll miss some scant chances. We'll make a few mistakes. And as soon as we get burned on one, game over.

I didn't think we had a hope in hell of winning. I hoped for a draw. But more than anything, I once again just wanted this team to give us a glimmer of hope. Once again, they've failed to do that. It is so deflating.

 

My thought at the half was Chelsea had us right where they wanted us. I was correct unfortunately. I was encouraged by the play in the first half but our second half defensive woes were par for the course.
