Dave Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'd ignore Villa and Sunderland though; the former have too many good players (I know, I know) and Sunderland already have enough points. On top of that, Blackpool still strike me as a creative team who can score more easily than we can. I don't think we'll go down, but the signs are really ominous at the moment. Beat Wolves and we can all relax a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Sunderland still need a win from somewhere and the slump they're on that might be tricky given they face teams fighting for their lives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Agreed. I reckon beat Wolves and that's it done and dusted. Even if we don't win in our last 7 games I'd fancy us to nick 2 or 3 draws to see us safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Would expect us to pick up around 5 more points, that should just see us through, and that will be job done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 exactly. For that reason I`d put us 20th in terms of form right now. Apathy indeed. Form Last 6 Games 10. Fulham W2 D3 L1 11. Man City W2 D2 L2 12. Wigan W2 D2 L2 13. WBA W1 D4 L1 14. Stoke W1 D2 L3 15. Birmingham W2 D1 L3 16. Newcastle W1 D3 L2 17. Aston Villa W1 D2 L3 18. Blackpool W1 D2 L3 19. Blackburn W0 D2 L4 20. Sunderland W0 D1 L5 if that form was repeated over next 8 games - how would the table look? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Well very crudely speaking we'd gain another 8pts and end up on 44. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be either totally negative this season or totally positive and you would be proven right at different points throughout the season. Our squad is wafer thin and plagued with injuries. We went into the january window lacking a striker and came out of it without carroll and ameobi. Im negative for a reason, not just for sh.itz and giggles. I love NUFC things are looking rather depressing is all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love NUFC things are looking rather depressing is all My point was that you could take an extreme view either way this season and still be proven right. If you keep saying we'll lost 4-0 every game than chances are it will happen, it doesn't mean much if you're wrong in all the other games. I take it you predictions for Arsenal (H) and Birmingham (A) were defeats as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolton Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I would'nt say you are safe yet, but you are only a couple of results away, the way its going, the line will be crossed on around 42 points, so many involved, no one cut adrift yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat Wolves and we can all relax a bit. Two more than us Hmm... '97 re-enactment? I think we're probably going to stay up still. As I explained in my thread, I think we'll have a morale-based revival once it gets very tight. Even if there is going to be/has been a falling out between the management, I have faith in the players to do well for our sake and not give us a repeat relegation. They wouldn't surrender like they did at Villa, where we still could have pulled ourselves out. My only real concern now I think of it is that they keep obeying Pardew's tactics in the face of manifest failure, so hopefully when/if things look serious enough they'll just disavow him and do what they think is best. It's going to feel fucking tight in the mean time, though. I almost suggest it needs to for us to return to winning ways. I hope I'm not wrong about them. We're also less likely to see Ben Arfa rescue us than they were - I imagined Wolves might have been his first game and would be marked with a victory. As others have suggested, having lots of teams beneath us is all well and good but most of them have more form than we have points. We need wins, not draws.

He needs to sign a really big name to stop the stagnation, someone like Michael Owen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brazilianbob Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Its no good arguing there are teams worse than us in the EPL because that was the case when we went down and we still coulodn't finish ahead of 3 of them. I just cant see this team picking up anything at home now. Pardew has destroyed the team spirit by tinkering with formations and playing crap players out of position. We are F***ed I reckon. Well done Pardew Ashley and Llambias we had a side capable of getting into europe but that would have meant flashing a bit of cash so they got rid of Carroll to ensure we couldn't make it and that has backfired hugely and dragged us down to the bottom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prefabtoon Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 After watching the stoke game we are going down, Have taken 20/1 with bet 365 the cash will soften the blow when we are relegated again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Curls Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 An then we beat wolves and we are all but safe, chill people! We've had some disappointing games this season but we've also had unbelievable ones. Guess you can't really help it after that shower of shit performance but we've got enough to stay in this league.
