Don't understand how anyone can run tiki-taka down. Barcelona are beautiful to watch, and yet some prefer 1950s boot-it-upfield football.
Give me Tony Mowbray's relegated team anyday over Pulis' work-hard any-draw's-a-good-point-home-or-away shite.
Yes. I'd rather get relegated if that's what it takes. What's so fecking special about the Prem, when we get bored to death, and everyone else hates us as they STILL do Stoke.

talkSAFT, personally I'm not saying I prefer the 'boot-it-upfield' approach at all - just that the tippy tappy stuff generally nearly always means lots of possession but with defenders & midfielders constantly passing square and back to KEEP possession in the parts of the pitch where possession means zilch. Barcelona are an exception in that they DO try to get forward!

Pretty relegation or boring PL survival? Difficult question to answer - I think I'd rather us survive by the skin or our teeth on the last day and play in an adventurous way than be like we are at the moment....but relegation? Pass!
