Good morning all.............................. Now may I appeal for a bit of calm and a sense of reason here.
1. We are two points ahead of The Rags by virtue of hard work NOT luck OR Favours.
2. We have the same number of games to play as The Rags both home and away, and if come the final day of the season they are ahead of us, it will be because the better team has won over the course of 38 games.
3. We have scored the most and conceded the least goals, won the most matches and lost the least so far and broken all manner of records whilst doing so.
4. For the last 2 months they have gone into PR overdrive employing the age-old tactic of 'If you repeat something often enough, people will start to believe it.' But has it worked.....Yet?
5. They have tried to intimidate our players..... Tried hard, but failed miserably!
6. They have tried to get to the players through our manager........ Again tried hard, but failed miserably!
7. Now they are trying to get through to the manager and players through us the fans.......... Again tried hard, but failed so far!!!! The story is yet to be written, let's not give them our own pen to write our seasons obituary!
When The Rags talk about a winning mentality, this is exactly what they mean. It's a mentality that is there from the manager, the players, the fans down to the tea ladies. We as fans need to grow a pair and do our bit for our team........... We need to look the fuckers coldly in the eyes and ruthlessly drive home our advantage. This is a case of who blinks first and the more we keep doing what we need to do, the more the pressure will increase on them.
Have any doubters considered this: Imagine you're trying everything in your powers and launching everything in your arsenal at something in an attempt to destabilise it, but nothing seems to be working, are you telling me you'd be confident that it was just a matter of time before your tactics worked, or would you be quietly shitting yourself thinking 'What the fuck, I've tried everything and they're still there! Now what!' The Rags have no other recourse left open to them but to continue trying to destabilise us because apart from the derby, it's all they have left!!!!
Everytime we've fucked up this season, so have they!!! When push has come to shove, they are the ones who have choked, what makes any of us think that's gonna change any time soon?
It has been said many times so I'll use my bit of psychology to illustrate the attitude we must take:
1. I know whose position I'd rather be in.
2. Take the rest of the season one game at a time and make sure we win them all..... The rest will take care of itself!!!
