Someone has produced a league Table if there was no VAR in the Premier League. We would be bottom.

The Premier League is relentlessly improving so if you keep a manager that manager has to adapt constantly and quickly and have resources and infrastructure to match. We haven’t done either but to be honest even doing one without the other was unlikely to work.
So there was always going to be a time limit on it, and even had it worked really well Eddie may well have departed for better things. It was always an enjoy it while we can sojourn for me.
There were two things I hoped would happen. Firstly that it wouldn’t end with Eddies reputation tarnished or him leaving and that if we went down we did it with a huge fight. Secondly that it wouldn’t hurt the club financially and we would use the TV money wisely.
The depressing thing for me at the moment is I’m not sure I am going to get either wish on that front. But it can all change in a week!
It's tough right now, isn't it?
But here we are in our 5th season at the apex of English football, and to be honest,
we have not disgraced ourselves in any way.
I bet a lot of you have your Fathers, Grandfathers, who supported the club from the year dot.
I know I have. My Grandad was there for the first league game in 1923 at Swindon. He proudly told me that many a time.
We were at the League 3 level till 1970. An unbroken run of 47 years of nothingness.
So, many of us on here have seen every relegation we have ever had, and on the bright side, every promotion. (I am saying anyone born pre 1962 ish will remember it all)
Here we are today, all depressed because we are in the relegation zone of the toughest league in the world.
I expect we all feel different. If we get relegated, to me in the Championship, we are still batting well above our average.
To the new fans (with all their points for tickets) they will feel we are batting below our average.
I will not mourn if we are relegated. I was alive when the impossible happened.
I wish my Father was here to see what we have achieved.
But, let us put it all in to perspective....16 games to go...48 points...Let's fight for every fookin one of them!
since observing the near complete change in teams like Watford since they came up with us.
Some great comments on this thread. I arrived properly around 1982 as a supporter and have seen plenty of good and bad seasons. In theory, if we had to play in the Championship again, there are worse things that can happen. Its a great division.
I would want us to have a go at getting back up again though, maybe a bit like Norwich, who keep playing good football.
My main issue with going down would be those people who would gleefully celebrate the downfall of us and Eddie.
I really hope you’re rightProbably only Minty!
We all have a great sense of pride as to what has been achieved in the past decade.
It's been a great ride.
I have always been critical, probably from the first day I ever went to a game, but that is because I care.
Chin up!
It ain't over by a long chalk.
There is the ability in that team to finish above 3 others.
