Not saying I have accepted relegation. But looking very difficult to see where 5-6 points are coming from, let alone that amount more than Wolves.
If you'd have told me at the start of the season we'd go down but we'd, amongst other moments:
- Take the lead at Man City
- Beat Chelsea convincingly at home
- Win at Tottenham
- Take the lead and equalise at Man Utd
- Draw (and deserve to beat) Champions League Villa at home
- Draw (and deserve to beat) Champions League Man Utd at home
- Win in the last minute in a vital relegation clash away from home
- Go 2-0 up at Brentford and make it 3-3 late one
It's probably more than I'd have expected from a season like this.
Which really goes to highlight how few points we've taken from the teams around us or the traditional smaller teams! |  | | |  |

The list is a rather depressing read to have as a highlights reel if I’m honest.
Of course the wins should be in there. But ‘taking the lead’ ‘going 2-0 up’ that’s a hard sell |  |

Inconsequential. Nobody really stands there amongst limbs at 3-3 in the 87th minute after going behind from a 2-0 lead and thinks I better no go mental here as they'll probably just win it anyway.
As a moment that still stands. Same as Man City. Went mental. Didn't expect us to win or even draw. But I will forever regret not really celebrating Stewart's opener at Liverpool because I thought Liverpool would still win. Annoys me to this day so I'll celebrate and enjoy those moments regardless.
In 1994/95 we won 7 games and really the only highlights were beating Man Utd 3-2, winning at Anfield which felt a little hollow given how crap we were and all the great teams that failed there and the little mini revival with a couple of results around the Leicester 4-1.
The rest of the season was a depressing slog.
This season hasn't been that for me. Just been an enjoyable return to the Premier League, up against it, with a lot of really positive displays even if the results have been largely poor. | | | |

One of the reasons for the gloom is that too few of those moments have happened at PR. We've only had one win to celebrate and whereas in previous seasons we've snatched wins through rousing last 10 minute performances, this season we've dropped points late in games at home on a number of occasions. With away games being a closed shop, most of our fans only see what happens live at PR and there's not been all that much to shout about. |  |

Taking the lead at City?
Jesus Christ we are 3-1 down after 15 minutes.
It was also the first sighting of Andy Marshall the 2nd. |  |

Were you in that away end though?
Absolute limbs after scoring first. Sure it didn't last long, but it was one helluva moment, which is what the OP is saying [Post edited 27 Feb 13:58]

...with your overall comment about "moments".
I've been saying the same thing for about the last 10 games.
I just wouldn't have included that particular moment, otherwise you might as well include every single goal that put us in the position of getting a point or 3.
I saw us take the lead at Old Trafford last night, but it wouldn't go down as a moment because it was soured with ineptitude. [Post edited 27 Feb 13:50]

Exactly that.
As mentioned in my other post in 2000 I was at Anfield and we scored and the away end went nuts. I was 20 and convinced we'd lose. I've never barely celebrated since.
7 mins into the first visit to the Etihad against the team that had won 4 titles in a row, one of the greatest Premier Leagues sides ever, we went ahead in our first Premier League away game for 22 years and it was absolutely bedlam in that end. Literally the moments you live for as a football fan.
What happened after is what happened after. Doesn't negate the joy 3,000 of us felt in that moment when we dared to dream. | | | |

Just something about going ahead against Bournemouth or Fulham that'll never quite be up there with going ahead against Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd and Spurs though. | | | |

Absolute limbs is one of my Room 101 phrases.
There were no more limbs than what went in or came out. | | | |

You left out our drawing a half with the league leaders!
Deary me that shows just why I am so depressed about football right now.
I got hammered for saying this our worst ever season but unless something drastic changes very soon the stats say it all and yes I do appreciate the context but equally we have spent a fortune to see very little noticeable difference in quality.
But as you say the results against those around us Wolves away aside are the root of this. | | | |

I for one will never forget the time we briefly led at Brentford, before losing

So it turned out…. But in that moment, it was amazing. | |

Definitely when Stewart scored at Anfield. I stood in shock then celebrated. We got absolutely battered but stayed firm. Something we should do last 11 games this season. | | | |

They should stop matches after the first goal. We’d be ok then (probably!). |  |
