Terrified we are going to lose because of all the balloons in our end.

It would be the most Newcastle thing ever for us to not win today and then beat Spurs to stay up. Apart from going down of course.

They are losing.

Chelsea will win. We just need a goal.

I think the mackems scored.

If we score it will become very hostile for them.

Confident Chelsea will take care of business today.

Please don't fuck this up.

If we win they are almost certainly down and they all look like they know it.

Or ourselves...

Mbemba is going to trip over a beach ball leading to their equalizer in the 79th minute to effectively send us down. Bobby fucking Madley will claim he didn't see it.

Saying that, the next nearest club is middlesborough and they seem to carry a chip almost as big as the mackems about us. I don't know why, no one here really gives a flying f*** about them. Any excuse. First time I've seen this. :lol:

We're going to win the league next year. The problem is I'm not sure which one.

Good stuff

Reading this thread gives me severe anxiety. Saturday is going to be unbearable.

I'm still laughing at the notion that the BBC included the 2004 Boston Red Sox as a possible comparison. The level of ignorance to put that in writing is astounding. This is the most shocking achievement I can think of across any major sport. Buster Douglas knocking out Mike Tyson was absolutely stunning at the time. Tyson was an unstoppable force, but it was one match, one strange night in Tokyo. If they fought 9 more times Tyson almost certainly knocks him out 9 times. The structure of American sports prevents there from being anything that even comes close to this. In English football it's probably Forest's achievements that are closest, but such a different era. The gulf in resources was nowhere near as dramatic. Bravo Leicester. Maybe it'll be our turn someday...

They aren't thinking about anything except 1) I hate this place 2) when will my agent get me out of here? 3) how many chicks am I going to bang in Dubai?

If we score in the first 20 minutes we'll win at least 3-0. Maybe more. Otherwise I expect it will be agony, but still think we'll sneak a win. 1-0 or 2-1.

There's little rivalry between Villarreal and Valencia. Too little story between those two clubs. Heck, when Villarreal was first promoted and became a stable presence in La Liga, it was said Valencia and Villarreal were a "brotherhood", with loads of Valencia players going on loan there. Now, what's happened is that Valencia's fortunes have dwindled while Villarreal have become successful, so that kinda irks Valencia fans. But there isn't a deep rivalry there. If you ask a Valencia fan who are their rivals, he will say Madrid and Barcelona (while we don't give much of a s*** about them). There's also a small local rivalry with Levante, but this also has been hurt by the fact that they have rarely played in the same division. Thought they were bigger rivals. You think Benitez would manage Villareal if the situation was right? I don't think so at the moment. But that's mostly because he's said he wants to stay in England for a while; he reportedly was approached by Valencia before signing for you and turned them down. Yeah, I meant if removing all other factors would he manage Valencia's "rival." Regardless, despite the convenience of it being near his home, I cannot see him ever going to Everton given his relationship with Liverpool supporters.

No chance he goes to Everton. Just like I'm fairly certain he'd never go to Villareal.

The fact Norwich and Sunderland have to play 3 games in a week to end the season should not be discounted. That will be physically and mentally draining.

Nah, Darlow saved two points for us. That's bigger than their point. This board would be on suicide watch if we had gotten a draw yesterday.

He can be a bit suspect on the ball within our half, which led to a lot of hoofs yesterday but can't complain otherwise.

Did you see Norwich and Southampton or is the revival limited to the last 3 games...........and we were as bad as I've seen us this season till Liverpool started to cruise. Look at how many save Darlow had to make with easy open shots from 20yds or so. We are better organised from dead balls but don't seem to be overall. why is our revival limited to 3 games when we're unbeaten in 4? Thats not helping as we were cack against Swansea for the most part. Don't get me wrong, we are at a part of the season and being where we are where results are more important than performances but I just don't see so far that Rafa, as much as I rate him, has made us more organised etc. If I had the inclination this could be proven terribly wrong with a series of pre and post Rafa gifs. Look at the way we settle into a formation when the opposition gets possession around midfield. Look at how we move as a unit out of the area after clearing a corner. Look at how we close wingers and fullbacks down fairly high up the pitch in a coordinated manner. Rafa would be the first to admit it's far from perfect. We lose focus at times, the nerves are evident, some lack application (Gini), and obviously most are not world beaters. But aside from having 11 players on the pitch who actually seem to care and put in effort, the main reason we've gone four unbeaten is the improved organization defensively.
