You can't go into April thinking relegation is on the cards. Even when we had to wait to draw level after Dion Dublin's goal for Coventry, it was May then not April and we still didn't agree that we were going down.
When we were bottom with the worst manager in PL history, and needed a win but went 0-2 down, we won 3-2. We never said we were going down. (Wonder how many are thinking Wimbledon, how many thinking Palace!)
The thing is, we are not going down. We'll win some games. If we don't, we'll go down, but we will, so we won't.
Accepting relegation is for Southampton, for Bournemouth, for Leicester, for Leeds even. And for countless towns you've never been to because they accept lower league football, they see the pyramid as a step they are on and forget that some people have never looked below the peak. We haven't been to their grounds because they have never made that final step. We live on that final step.
Forget those fleeting friends, those Swindons, Cardiffs, Blackpools, Preston North Ends.
They came and saw but they are gone, we saw them all off, every one.
We are here and we shall stay, even without Sheedy, Sharp and Gray.
We shall be here, here we'll stay. We shall not be moved.
