They made changes and knew that their game was meaningless. Had their game affected which team was relegated, they'd have had to do their best to win it, for the integrity of the league.

No, because United would have had to field a stronger side in the last game, and Cardiff wouldn't have won it, so we'd not have been sent down. Although I don't think we'd have gone down, I do agree with your point that going down can be out of your hands, and you end up judged on the results of...

Who was this text to, and where's this information come from (I presume it's been discussed here before, but I've not seen it)?

That's true, he's got clubs out of the Championship a few times, but has failed time and time again to get them out of the Premier League.

As a headline, sure, but they didn't include anything else from his statement in the report, and IMO, they should have.

Thanks :) You don't seem to be handing out star stickers, but I've got plenty left over for the kids, so I'm taking one of theirs. I'll take a blue one, as I don't think I've earned a gold. :eek: Well obviously I'm guessing, but PL survival was the number one priority, and to be met at all...

Millwall had beaten Everton at home, and had the ref got things right, they'd have lost against us in normal time. That's a good enough performance. It's unrealistic to think we should just go away to a motivated Championship side and smash them.

Or how about 'I knew we hadn't achieved the football the board wanted, but we had survived, and I thought I had the confidence of the board to take us forward next season'. I don't think our drop in form was solely down to Chris. Some players under-performed, a lot of refereeing decisions went...

We didn't luck out, the only reason we needed to score at the end was because of poor officiating. Their first goal saw Murray rugby tackled to make space for Pearce to score. It was a clear foul, missed by the ref. Their second goal saw the ball sent up-field and hand-balled. We should have...

Surely that would depend on where they place it?
