I liked this post from another site, given the current wave of doom sweeping over the club just one game in

10 reasons why we will be relegated if we lose to Bolton.

(1) The last time we lost our opening two games (2000-01) we were relegated (well, OK, we weren't, but I don't see why facts should get in the way of a good point, well made.)

(2) No team with 0 points after 2 games has gone on to avoid relegation.

Except Bolton, Blackburn and Everton last year

Spurs, Wigan and Pompey in 2008-9

Spurs, Boro and Bolton in 2007-8

Wigan and Pompey in 2005-6

Again, mere facts, and in no way relevant.

(3) The transfer window will be closed and we won't be able to make any more signings. (OK, OK, so there'll still be 10 days to go, but no one will be making any signings that close to the end of the transfer window...)

(4) Our new signings have turned out to be flops. Barrera, who ought to be match fit and used to the pace of the Prem after a couple of half matches and a brief run out looked anything but ready, and there's very little chance he will improve as he gets more match time. And as for that Hitzlsperger, well he may as well have been out injured for all the difference he made...

(5) Bolton are not in any way, shape or form one of our bogey sides, and the fact that they have managed to beat us 6 games in a row means that we're obviously better than them and 'should be beating sides like this'.

(6) In the seasons when we have lost to Bolton at the Boleyn we have been reelgated (again, not true, but I'm sure you get the picture...)

(7) No other team in the PL will have made such a poor start, and all the other teams in the PL will go on to amass 50 points or more, leaving us with about 6.

(8) With only 36 games left, we would have absolutely no hope of making up ground on those teams so far ahead of us.

(9) Gollivan will sack Grant if we lose, and The Scottish manager will be given the job, with Ian Dowie and Glen Roeder as his assistants.

(10) We have never previously made a bad start to a PL season and then gone on to avoid relegation (apart from when we have, obviously.)

Now, I know some of you optimistic types will try to argue me out of it, but I know I am right, and I know that King WHUFC will back me up on this.

Saturday is our season defining game.

Lose it, and we may as well say goodbye to the PL.

You know I'm talking (non) sense...
