Great post, sir.
Thank you for your positivity

I'm not sure that's a biased or unfair thing to say from Shearer though.

We are one point away from relegation with a long list of injuries and our main 30 million pound striker is now definitely over the hill and not just a blip in form.

I was 100% certain Swansea were gone. I was also certain Huddersfield will burst their bubble and join them.

Now, I couldn't possibly predict who will go down, it's frightening and frustrating just how no one has completely fallen away. I still have a personal opinion that Huddersfield will run out of steam and finish 20th but that is a pure gut instinct now. Nothing to base that off as they looked very good against Bouremouth.

I think Newcastle are too big and have too good a Manager to go down. Southampton could drop possibly, so could Brighton but then so could we. That's kinda the trouble, any pundit can choose any 3 right now and we can't really give them stick.

You have to look at how we are playing as well. The players and even Roy to an extent look like they give 1000% to get us above water, all expecting the January cavalry and got no one.

They shouldn't be allowed to use that as an excuse but it might take a month and a collection gathering of breath to actually realise this is it, the reinforcements aren't coming and this squad need to do it.

Roy as a Manager is also going to have to start accepting that as unfair as it may be if he was made promises from the board, players like Chung-Yong Lee who he has written off will need to be re-assessed. You can't just keep naming them on the bench but not playing them because you don't trust them. Our starting 11 is looking knackered.

It'd be a very silly pundit who didn't include us as possible drop candidates what with our injury list, lack of goals and immediate fixtures.

When the time comes, I want die just like my Dad - at peace and asleep.
Not screaming and terrified.
Like his passengers.

Conclusion: fantastic striker; shocking pundit.

Most of his negativity about our beloved club he usually has to swallow.

Thus, ignore.

The obvious candidate changes every week. I suspect it will be us for the next 3/4. Then we will have played all but one of the top boys; we will have sakho, schlupp, Kelly and wilf back; sørthoth will be banging them in; and we will only have a succession of fellow bum feeders to play.

Yes mate, I'm very concerned. Other teams are fighting for their lives as shown in recent weeks.
I don't think we are going to replicate their results.
So after another 3 games we will be in bigger trouble.
I think it will be down to the last half a dozen games when the opposition is a little easier.
No back up goalkeeper either, what a great non event was the last transfer window.
Zaha's injury was the last straw. He has had no protection from day one. Awful refereeing has just added to our gloom.
Next Monday, Spurs at home which will be no gloom lifter!
