Its a disgrace that we are going down but I agree. Ultimately I've

spent most of the last 20 years watching us in the championship and large chunks of it have been more enjoyable than the last 2 years in the prem. More games, more evening games and I think we will do well even if we do have to ship out 6 or 7 players.

This club will go up and get relegated many more times in my supporting lifetime. Life goes on. Of course I still cling to the hope that we stay up but if we don;t then so be it. I reconciled myself to relegation after Fulham so staying up is a bonus.
