Chris_R Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Leauge for me. It'll give us more impetus going into next season and more pulling power with new players than finishing second and unbeaten at home will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thing is, the longer we stay undefeated at home, the bigger the pressure mounts on the next game. So IF I had to choose one of the two, I'd go for losing the Ipswich game (just to get it out the way) and winning the league. Need I really say that I'd prefer winning both achievements though?

BlueStar Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thing is, the longer we stay undefeated at home, the bigger the pressure mounts on the next game. I'd think that pressure would vanish if we didn't lose to Ipswich though, what with it being our last home game of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Winning at home pretty much guarantees the title even if we lose our 3 away games anyway doesn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I saw advertised the other day Piers Moragn interviewing Michael Winner. What the fuck? Satan himself would struggle to devise such a fucking pisspot of a show. Missed an Inglourous Basterds type opportunity to burn the place down.

Think if West Brom win all theirs they'd beat us by a point. They can only get 95 points in total. We're already on 92. A win against Ipswich (if we lose against both Reading and Plymouth) still puts us on 95 points with a far superior goal difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Ah yeah - knew we needed 4 points to clinch it, thought our goal difference was so commanding that I didn't consider that. Guess we could take a 10-0 hammering in our loss to Plymouth or something and do it that way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1878 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Surely champions. That will be remembered, put on the honours list etc An undefeated home record would be forgotten about pretty quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Over 100 years since we last went unbeaten at home, could well be another 100, so that wins for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Over 100 years since we last went unbeaten at home, could well be another 100, so that wins for me. This. But, as others have pointed out, a win at home virtually assures the trophy. The question is misleading. Anyway, assuming that the club were to go undefeated at home and lose out on the title, it would create a great trivia question and grist for football columnists -- typical Newcastle etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
