i keep feeling negative, looking down the table below us, thinking; shiz, if we don't win, who can get above us? :shrug:

ah well, it's gonna take a while to get used to this rarified atmosphere :cool:

I'll confess I started writing a best case / worst case bit with the results needed for each.

Like you, though, as I worked down the table I didn't really want to go down the worst case route so I deleted it!

A win takes us third (or a mahhosive win / catastrophic Liverpool defeat, takes us an improbable second).

A defeat could see us drop as far as TENTH...

Somewhere around 10th is probably the most likely outcome after the next two games. Not saying its hopeless two get something out of them but chances are slim.

In a sense nice with two games where the worst outcome is a shrug but kind of looking forward to the Newcastle game...

Yep….this is about the biggest ‘free hit’ we’ll ever get after the start we’ve had. Couple of tough gigs coming up, get anything out of either and I’ll be delighted.

I’m the same. I keep thinking We’re so many points above the relegation zone rather than we’re two points (or however many it is that week) off the lead

Old habits are hard to get rid of

Relax!

I've benched my Albion trio in FPL (Sanchez, Duffy & Trossard) and have made Jesus my captain. We are therefore NAILED ON to keep a clean sheet, with at least a Tross goal (probably a hat-trick).

If that wasn't enough, I've also predicted 0-2 in Fossie's score prediction comp.

Thank me after. :thumbsup:

Have I just never noticed it before, or has there been a recent increase in using 'cityzens' as a nickname for Man City? I saw it a few weeks ago and had to look it up to see it was a genuine nickname, but over the last couple of weeks it seems to be everywhere. I've always seen them referred to simply as 'City' or 'the (manchester) blues'.

I've certainly heard it before.

The thing that really struck me in that video is just how f***ing MASSIVE Big Scherps is.

He makes Sanchez look decidedly average height (and Steele's a 6'2" midget!) :eek:
