    1/3....

    of the way through the season and 14 points. That's a little more than a point a game. Keep this up and we will end up with 42 points and will stay up with a few points to spare. I bet the vast majority of NUFC fans would have taken that at the start of the season never mind now. We need to keep the faith and hopefully we are able to get a proper striker in 6 weeks to see us through.

    would have with a supposed lesser manager than rafa
    but under rafa and everything said abut him and he being in controll of all things footy i was aiming a bit higher than just surviving

    an easy kop out that like

    a bit like the re adjusting of ambitions when we won the fizzy
    many were just eventually happy to crawl over the line

    many thought it would be a walk in the park

    why nder rafa do we have to keep aiming lower

    Most (including Rafa from what we read) thought he would be given a bigger transfer budget.

    As i said at the beginning of the season.

    Survival is what we need.

    We can finish 17th and survive on goal difference for all i care. I don't care if it's Rafa who is managing us and therefore should be higher, he's been hamstrung on his transfer budget and ****ed over by upstairs - we can all see that.

    Survival is what we need, stay up and we'll have the TV money etc. Go down again and we're really really in trouble.

    Of course we'll all take that if we stay up.
    I'm not enjoying the football though.

    Ashleys been CRAP at backing any of our managers, and even worse when it comes to Rafa.

    THATS the problem.

    We can only hope for a takeover and better times.
