Hi guys, have not posted for a number of years and have had to set up a new account as I lost my password for my old old email. Anyway I still think we can turn things around, even if we lose the next 3 games to the three big teams. After 8 games we will have 30 games left still. All we need is 11 wins (33 points) and 6 draws (6 points) and I think 39 points could keep us up. This would mean we lose 21 games just as we did last season. I also think when Sakho is fit, things will change at the back. We also have Zaha coming back and possibly Wickham (but not sure when) Roy will have us tight at the back soon, and he will use Sakho to his advantage. Anyway it's hard to be positive, but I remember reading the exact same posts at the start of last season and we ended up 14th. Worst case, if we did go down we have would sell Sakho, Benteke, hate to say it Zaha and a few others. This would in return leave us with around £80 million plus to re-group with. Also fingers crossed Parish sells and we start fresh. Feel free to slate me for being positive, but this site is like a morgue after only 5 games and we all need to get behind the team.

After the next three matches, which we will presumably lose, we have to win something like six out of the remaining eleven. Three of them are Spurs, Arse and Everton, which leaves eight possibly winnable against Watford, Toon, Wet Spam, Leicester, Seaweed, Bournemouth, Stoke and Pulis' lot. Not much wiggle room there. ============ The Ferret ============

I so agree we will be more solid at the back with Sakho. Wilf will be back soon we can turn things around.

Well I still think Roy can turn this around. I even think we will get 3 points out of the next 3 big games, as we can turn up against one of the bug boys. Anyway time will tell. All of Benteke's headers needed a quick paced striker to run on the ball like Gayle. To leave us with one playable first team sticker was a terrible bit of business from Parish. If we do survive this season, Parish needs to sell up or stop trying to treat the transfer window like a game.

I think Townsend is playing well. Likewise Hennessy. At least we haven't conceded a hatful of goals

We all know what's about to happen anyway... We have United, Chelsea and City next. We've just lost to some of the weakest teams in the league. Now, Palace being Palace, we're bound to win the next three games. I don't know how. I don't know if it's even possible. But I also know that it's destiny.
