Decky Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 My main concern now is that in the first half of the season we had some bad results at home to sides we need to be beating. Until now I was ok about it because I felt under Hughton we had every chance of beating these sides away and making it right. Now though, I'm not so sure we can. Under Pardew I can see us becoming utter shite away from home. The kind of team that parks the bus and hoofs it up front in the hope of getting a goal, rather than playing controlled, passing football. If today is anything to go by we could well lose to the likes of Stoke, Blackburn and Blackpool again this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Six more wins, is the way I'm looking at it. Reckon we can do that, just about. Hopefully one in the next two games will reduce that to five. But the window is now crucial. Pardew has to get some reinforcements out of Ashley. Another striker is essential.

Mowen Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 i'm a 6, still think we'll just stay up but i'm more and more worried with every game Surely a 6 implies you think we're more likely to go down? 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Anything less than 3 points out of the next two games, and I'm going to say 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 In a strange way, given that these two sides are currently 17th & 18th, 2 points could prove to be better than 3. We need at least 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Anything less than 3 points out of the next two games, and I'm going to say 8. Anything less than four points in the next two and the forum will be in meltdown. Get beat off West Ham or Wigan and everyone will be saying nailed on relegation.

oldtype Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I look forward to the day that this thread is closed to be honest. Even if we lose to both shit teams that start with a "w", we still probably wont be in the zone so saying "nailed on relegation" or "must win" is silly. Fact of the matter is that we are always in a relegation fight. We don't suddenly stop being in one because we win or start being in one because we lose. All this thread is is basically the most egregious form of institutionalized knee jerking ever seen on the internet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 If we get relegated it won't be because we lost away to Spurs or at home to Man City. It will be because of our lost at home to the likes of Blackpool, Stoke and Blackburn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Now that we're going back to Premiership, how do you think we'll get on? 10 - Relegated 5 - Probably Safe 1 - Mid-table mediocrity [/Rainman] http://i42.tinypic.com/iqzrck.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Seeing the table anything can happen from 7th to 20 with 10 points are the difference. this past couple of defeat left us in precarious postion and it is time for the lads to win some games now....

Ketsbaia Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Not the same. The three I mentioned are having fantastic seasons (we saw glimpses of HBA), whereas your three were just big names (and Beye, who was actually ok). But I see what you're getting at.

The three I mentioned are having fantastic seasons (we saw glimpses of HBA), whereas your three were just big names (and Beye, who was actually ok). But I see what you're getting at. Up to this point in the relegation season (19 league games), Owen was averaging 1 in 2 games. (7 in 14 starts & 1 sub appearance in the league, plus 2 in 2 in the Carling Cup).

Guest Tall Striker Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Is a team with Andy Carroll, Cheik Tiote and Hatem Ben Arfa really going to get relegated? At the end of the day, none of us have a fucking clue what will happen. We could finish 8th or 20th. That's what makes it exciting, but nervewracking for us. The home games against the likes of West Ham, Birmingham, West Brom and Wolves will more than likely decide our fate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
