We're a laughing stock

Maybe stick it in a double with Elvis to be alive still as they are offering odds of 10,000-1

Some people here need to get a grip, if someone had said at the start of last season you are going to buy your ground, get promoted as champions then have a poor start and get relegated, would anyone really have turned that down? short memories...
 
Laughing Stock! to whom? An OXO cube telling a joke is a laughing stock.....

I will always support the players on the pitch, but objectively watching them I have seen enough football to know relegation is a certainty . Will not stop me from getting behind them every match and cheering them on.

You might have written this season off but I haven't yet - Anyone who come into this season expecting anything other than a slog for the coveted 17th place right above the dotted line was absolutely kidding themselves and as far as I am aware we are only 2 points away from that position

Sunderland coming up and doing what they did last season was the worst thing that could have happened as it has given people the totally wrong impression of what was attainable

I completely agree, in the same way Ipswich's back to back promotions made it seem easier to get out of the championship than it was (take note Birmingham City). If we finish 17th than that would be a great season. If we don't, then we have had a financial windfall and we have improved the squad considerably.

Yes I have written it off. The players are no where near it and if you think spurs are going to be in a relegation battle I would like some of what you are having. The quality they have means they won’t be close to previous seasons. As I said I will support the boys for all 90 mins of every game. I didn’t support Coventry for an easy time. I have an attachment to the club and that means sticking through the tough times. Objectively, however, for the sake of analysis, there is no way the team is staying up.
 
If any trialists make negative comments I think we should burn the soles of their feet until they admit they’re a Leicester fan.

C) We've played Man City and Arsenal away.

The ‘Random fixture computer’ giving us Arsenal away so Sky could have their big Champions v Champions thing on opening night whilst the other two promoted sides got cushy home fixtures to hit the ground running fucks me off so much - had us fighting against the tide from minute one

If we’d have been afforded the luxury of playing Sunderland or Man United at home first weekend I am certain things would be panning out differently for us

Where can I find that 50/1 bet? Or do I actually have to go bookies for it?

This! I think we will probably go down, was near certain of it the day we got promoted, had a surge of hope with Amenda and Yirenkyi signings which petered out afterwards.

But last year was brilliant, so many fantastic away days and the feeling of lifting a trophy at the end. And it followed on from what in different ways were 4 great seasons before it. Dampened for me only by the ownership issues in the earlier years.

This year, whatever happens, happens - on the pitch it’s been a mini golden era. We might be a particularly weak PL team (might, some will have a different perspective) but we are better than approaching 70 other league teams even if you think a few Championship might be stronger. That’s pretty good, and unless you support one of maybe 10 or 12 clubs, it’s the natural cycle of being a football fan. And I wouldn’t enjoy the very different experience their fans have, it’s not what I’ve learned being a fan is.

Spurs have been in a relegation battle for the past two seasons, they have started in the same vain again.

They have not scored a league goal yet this season, the signs are not really promising for them at this point. What convinces you that they will turn it around?

The quality of players they have. Proven and will come good after 38 games. Might not be in Europe but won’t be in a relegation battle. Real depth too.
 
Villa need one more to make Spurs 10 goals against column too match ours👍👍

When bookies are actively promoting a bet at 50/1 odds they’re clearly pretty confident it won’t come in and just taking money off reactionary mugs.

There’s been some hopeless sides in the prem recently and none of them have beaten the record.

yeah, I don't get how people think Ladbrokes think it will happen, people actually think they would price it at 50/1 and then actively promote it if they thought it wouldn happen

they don't want to give a away money
