Hi Mike,

Anything to oblige. We are twenty points clear of relegation. Have a look at the Premier League table. Ask yourself would you be worried if you were a supporter of 7th placed Wolves.

They are only sixteen points clear of relegation. You can relax really.

Can't relax unfortunately yet Brendan. However, this is the absurd bit. I am nervous about relegation but am completely at ease with the fact that I think we have absolutely no chance in my opinion of making the play offs. Numerically we are better placed for the play offs than relegation. Strange, but just the way I think I suppose.

I was the same yesterday with the rugby. Even when we were 21 points up I was edgy. I enjoyed the England v Scotland game more than the Wales game. Sport has a wierd effect on you.

Indeed my friend, it makes fools of us all and complete idiots out of some of us ( among which number I find myself sadly included ).
