In Hodgson's case - the W-word, you mean?

After 4 games last season the three teams that went down were - Hull (8th), Middlesborough (9th) and Sunderland (19th) at that time. The other two teams that were in the bottom 3 after 4 games were Southampton and Stoke who finished 8th & 13th respectively. How much can you tell after 4 games anyway? And how many of those lower teams had no points and no goals ?? I don't think we will go down

What we need are natural goal scorers and we don't have any. That Turkish bloke now there is a natural when have you seen ANY of ours score like that?

It is preposterous that we only really have Benteke up front. As I mentioned to someone when FDB was appointed and the talk of "Possession football" that this was not suited at all to Benteke's game at all.Hopefully now with Hodgson at the club our style will suit him much more.

I am STD (Sick To Death) of hearing all the talk about the R word. I think we will escape R.......I think we may be in the R places come January....... Jesus if we constantly have this mindset then we will believe that all we can achieve is avoid R!! We have the management and team ability to climb up the table and challenge for a top 10 position or who knows higher. We are in no way cut adrift and once the confidence returns plus the stability that Roy will no doubt bring then we will fly. Do you think Monty went into D Day thinking that we would do very well to just get on the beaches; hell no that was a landing point only and the platform to strike deep into France to claim victory against all the odds. On the flip side Custer thought all he had to do was get his wagons in a circle and with supposedly superior firepower success would follow!! A few Red Indians thought differently! Arrogance will not be in Roy's mind but planning and application will be. I think that Champions League may be a touch optimistic but we have 34 games to go and with it a potential 102 points to compete for. Please no more R word more WCFDI (We Can F-----g Do It) Think Monty not Custer! Yep, I'm find up of hearing that word: 'Remoaner' as well....

You 'R' of course referring to 'the power of positive thinking' of which our former leader El Tel was was an advocate.
