We could quite conceivably lose our next 4 matches on the spin

Not strictly true. Firstly, the Villa game on top of a bad 30 or 40 minutes against Bayern. It isn't just one game.

Second, I am sure PSRB would agree that, as I, he was already worried about this before the Villa game

The mistake you have made is in assuming we are thinking the worst after a bad game. Trust me, we were thinking it already.

Oh, and thank you, by the way. I have been enjoying Zeppelin ever since you dismissed them. Wonderful, wonderful band. I had forgotten so many of the reasons why I love them so much

I've given the reasons for my concern and think they're valid worries. I hope I'm wrong on all counts.

I remember Pep saying it last season. At a crucial point in the title race, where they were stretching their lead over us, he celebrated at a press conference that today meant they were guaranteed top 4.

Always look after your bottom line, and elevate your worst case scenario

Exactly, top 4 first, then think about the title. We should have been 14 points clear of 5th. Now it's 11. 7 more points required from 6 games.

Pessimism is in our dna. We’ve been here quite often. The only other *big club facing similar media derision being Spurs; although, in our favour, at least we’ve an enviable trophy cabinet and always regarded as credible contenders.
