...Please stop referring to us as 'dead' , 'RIP' etc

We are not dead, we are merely getting relegated to a division lower. That is all.

No one should be too proud to think we have no right to be in Division 3. It looks like we will be, so either ship out, or take a deep breath and accept it.

But our club is not 'dead' and it is stupid to suggest so.

    Agree. We do need to take stock and get this all into perspective. In 2 years time we could be once again challenging at the top of the Championship. It has been a difficult few years and we will bounce back. We were in the third Division very shortly after I started supporting this club, no one suggested we were dead then, and we very quickly bounced back. With some hard work, better days will be ahead of us .......................

    exactly,nothing to really get so irate about.with all the troubles anywhere we can find them puts our little woes into perspective.

    anyway,this will just be like our relegation from the prem and we will be reborn again like then.

    Be good to hear from a Leeds or Leicester fan about life in Lge 1 and what to look out for/avoid?

    We've been there before, it has it's attractions.

    Standing on the terraces, the peanut man walking round, change ends at half time.

    Have a kick around with my cousins before the game in the south West quadrant.

    Ok, it was a few years ago, will it still allowed ?

    It is their support that is Dead and RIP to it if that's their attitude!

    I have to say that I thought the atmosphere was surprisingly muted given the importance of the game.

    Perhaps the awful weather was a factor.

    We're not dead or dying just a bit sick but whatever does not kill you makes you stronger as Ghandi or someone similar once said : - )

    Think it was Nietzsche said it, actually.

    Who was not similar to Gandhi in any respect.

    Except that both are dead.

    Unlike Charlton. (Not dead, but drowning as Stevie Smith or someone similar nearly wrote...)

    LoOkOuT - I assumed your reference was so obvious that it didn't require commenting on. Is it also pining for the fjords?
