Don't want to p*ss on your bonfires, but...

It does seem a bit mental that we have ONE good result and a lot of folk on here suddenly think we are world beaters and going to stay up. I really, really hope this is the case. BUT I've learnt from an early age, and years or heartache that getting too excited and expecting too much generally results in disappointment when it comes to the reds.

I perfer to expect the worse and anything more is a bonus. Like last night. Enjoy the result... lets not forgot this is the same set of players that have been terry bell for approx 25 games out of 32. Also... Yeovil drew 1-1 away at reading with 8 men!

So people having a go at joshwin for having a bit of perspective is crazy!

 

Re: perhaps

Something is up with him, you don't spend half your time on here running the team down and claiming we have no chance then have a vile rant at someone else for saying we won't stay up.

 

To be honest I thin, that just goes to show our passion for the club and how emotionally attached we are to it. We probably swing just as much in our relationships at home, depending upon what the last conversation was, but deep down we know the truth. It looks very difficult to get out of trouble this season because of the way we have been playing, the goal difference and Charlton's games in hand, but we have had so little to get excited about recently I have mo problem in indulging in a spot of blind optimism when we unexpectedly win away. We're probably still going down, but until our next defeat we are world beaters!

 

Yeah, I keep saying it but I'm excited and sh*tting myself at the same time. I daren't get my hopes up!

After one good result, I'd rather stick to saying we're still going down, seeing as it's still very likely and we're still going to need something special to manage staying up again. It all comes down to Saturday, maybe I'll change my mind then.

I didn't realize Yeovil were playing with 8 men either? If they had men sent off then hopefully the suspensions will help us in that they'll be carrying players that aren't as good, rather than putting more effort in as a smaller unit!

 

I've been saying for months that despite been as bad as we are we've still got a massive chance of staying up because Millwall, Yeovil & Charlton are just as bad but Charlton's games in hand are a big worry especially as they've got a knack of keeping clean sheets at the minute. I just hope that they'll run out of steam with so many games in such a short space of time.

 

It was a few weeks ago now. But they got a 1-1 draw at reading with 8 men... last one sent off n the 88th minute with 8 minutes injury time. So they held out for 10 minutes with 8 men. Going to be a very hard game on Saturday, harder than last night i imagine. Hopefully we can crack on!

 

Re: perhaps

Can I just clear my name here? I'm pretty certain this isn't what you meant, but to an outside observer it looks like it was I who was giving Whitey grief who he reported. I clicked the button (and told him why), as I don't agree with openly ridiculing someone who is playing for you, the only feeling M'voto can get from that is bad surely? It's not like he does it on purpose, so it wouldn't be a kick up the backside to try harder.

Edit: tone doesn't come across well in text. I get that Whitey was posting the video as a bit of fun, I'm only still talking about it because it could be construed as we had a huge spat from someone who only read that, and not the Big John thread. I clicked the button and gave my reason, as I felt it was important to do so in support of M'Voto at the time. I don't now hate Whitey or anything.

 

Re: perhaps

I've made it clear who it was I reported.

As for the video, it was taken badly by some, and very well by others. Such is life.

 

Re: perhaps

Yeah, I've now seen that cheers. I'd replied before I'd read the rest of the thread.

 

Re: perhaps

With a bit of luck, and plenty of fighting spirit, we'll stay up and I'll create another 15 minute video epic that salutes Big John and all of the lads for another survival masterclass.

 

Re: perhaps

I wasn't referring to you. I was saying you were one of the decent people who happened to disagree with Whitey, but in a way some of us don't like. There was only one comment in Whitey's thread that was out of order and it certainly wasn't yours.
