Fickle bunch in here Hang on, he wasn't exactly an asset up till then. True, but neither was 90% of the squad yet he bore the bulk of the brunt of our frustration as fans (not to say he's antics didn't merit some of it), been a gem last 10 games and really should be at the WC imo. This isn't the Scholes/Lamps/Carick era, current options are genuinely average

Love this thread , voted 6. We're on form with 4 winnable games (include the Arsenal tie who are poor away from home and have an eye on the UEFA cup) . Optimistic outcome 2W 1D 1L. That might be enough for 10th. Chelsea and Spurs could be ugly especially with Kane chasing the golden boot

Literally every game this season . Fucking hard work being a Newcastle fan, might just switch my allegiance to Citeh

We stay up if we hold out *crosses everything*

Best player in the team. Should be at the WC imo.

I'm at 5, lowest I've been all season

7 from 9, feel a lot better after last weeks fuck up. 2 more wins from 8 should do it

Hope that ends a draw, best result for us

Surely can't fuck it up from here!

2-0, we meet again

Defensive subs almost never work, taking Gayle off removed our pre-eminent attacking threat and consequently allowed Bournemouth to push the line right up with no threat of a counter. Self inflicted defeat, the missed chances are irrelevant, we should be able to see out a 2 goal lead with 10 minutes left, not like we were playing City,Liverpool et al

Not the slightest bit surprised

Ah fuck...

Are they really that talented anymore? Who do they have left? As already mentioned, Forster, Yoshida, Gabbiadini, Bertrand, Boufal, Austin, Ward Prowse, Davis, Soares, Romeu amongst others should be at worst comfortably midtable. There's flair, creativity going forward and solid defensive options at the back. At least we were lumbered with Williamson & non goalscorers in our relegation season(s). New manager and they waltz out of the mire imo I think there's a load of average s**** in there myself. Getting shown up now the talent has all been sold off. If that's average then wonder what adjectives you have for ours, Huddersfield, Brighton & Swansea's squad

I still feel Southampton will come good, most talented team in the bottom half, could probably do with a new manager bounce. WBA look like they might be done but after Palace & now Swansea would hesitate to write anyone off. Going with that tho it's looking like any 2 from 9, equal chance all around. 3 wins and a couple draws would do it, seems so achievable on paper...

Working miracles is being dramatic, they're are loads of average sides in the league including us.

8

Diame starting vs Merino is Pardew-eque. Not the first time either.

5 (if not 6 tops) more wins from the remaining 16 games sees us safe, doesn't sound too daunting on paper...

Apparently we haven't won a game since April (?) When he's not been in the team

He doesn't score many goals, and that's the main criticism of Joselu. I wouldn't mind if he didn't score so many goals if his all-round game was much better. The fact he doesn't score goals just emphasises how s*** he is. Well I'm going to disagree with you on that, I think his link up play is fine. I'm sure Deeney will barge defenders around a bit more, but for me a striker has to score goals regularly otherwise he's might as well be Joselu. Agreed, swapping one non-scoring striker for another is redundant. Any incremental improvement Deeney has on Joselu isn't significant enough for us to be chasing him imo
