You do realise that discusding scenarios after 26 games where we could still win the league is not normal behaviour for a motherwell forum, none of us have any experience of such things, well at least while we are sober and awake, so its not surprising your maths is flawed.
I remember being at a dinner and had Paul Lambert sitting beside me. This was maybe about 6/7 yrs ago and he was good company…. As in he spoke more about Motherwell than Dortmund or Celtic (albeit he knew I was a Motherwell fan) but he spoke of the annoyance in the squad at the end of that season as they felt they blew it and we should have won the league as our team was good enough. He also went on about McLeish a bit too, but that’s another story.
What I did notice yesterday while waiting outside for my mate was the amount of young kids going by with their parents.
Never really noticed it before but it was great to see the amount of mums dads and kids all decked out in C&A.
Can only bode well for the future.
If there is a football god we should win the Cup because we are the best team in Scotland. That said you don't need to be good to win the Cup as Aberdeen and St Mirren have proved. Both absolute pish and current holders of Silverware.
We’re not winning this I’m afraid. Just can’t see it.
Either a narrow loss in 90 or ET or a penalty shootout loss.
Whatever happens we won’t be travelling to the Kingdom of Fife on 7th March.
I'm nearly 60 and able to attend my first home game of the season.
My goodness, to see a big crowd at Fir Park on a Feb Sunday to Stand Up And Sing For The Motherwell.
Here's the thing: top 6 has never entered my mind. I'm looking up, not down. Let the Glasgow media deflect & defer to the ugly sisters. There's only one team playing football here.
We play on, I summon the spirit of 32, 52 and 91.
Because like the Manager I take one target at a time
Target 1. Avoid relegation .. tick
Target 2. Top 6 ......... to be determined
Target 3. 4th place and European football ....to be determined
Target 4. 2nd place and Champions League football ... to be determined
Target 5. Win the League .... to be determined
Target 6 Win the Scottish Cup... to be determined
Forget the top 6, that’s a given. We need to be thinking of winning the league. Michael Stewart has given us his endorsement as league winners…… why can some gadgie from Edinburgh think this whilst our fans don’t.
ok a wee but tongue in cheek …. but why the fk not….. I believe!!!
I am finding it interesting just how quickly I am becoming greedy for success
At 1-0 HT today, I was dissatisfied that it was not a more comfortable 2-0, 3-0 so that we could start resting players for midweek.
As the weeks pass, 4th place is becoming slightly mundane with the dream of top three within touching distance.
I suppose it is that kind of inability to be truly satisfied that took man to the moon.
I fear that I am developing the mentality of an OF fan. A severe dose of entitlement. They must have medicine for that type of horrendous affliction?
It really is dreamland at the moment.
I think a defeat on the cards for no other reason that teams rarely win double headers in 4 days. Can we win ? most certainly, will we? I just have a terrible feeling about this one.
