oldtype Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I guess I'm just overly optimistic for assuming that losing once doesn't mean we'll lose every match for the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 It's alright. We'll win against Wolves and be staying up, then lose against Villa and be going down again. Then we'll beat Blackpool and be staying up, then lose to Liverpool and...you get the picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brazilianbob Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You lot can bury your heads in the sand and argue we will be ok but you have very short memories. We have been here before and you all spouted the same delusional cr*p that we would pick up enough points to stay up and what happened? We went down and the same signs are there for all to see. I have absolutely no confidence at all in getting a result at home to wolves. For a start they have better strikers than we do! The real point here is we shouldn't be in this position at all! This is the result of the hierarchy at NUFC being reactive rather than proactive. If we had planned ahead like Liverpool and said ok we can get a good price for AC and can then bring in 3 quality players including a good striker in january, then we would probably be challenging for europe now. Instead they thought like all the other delusional fools that we were safe due to the team spiri, but they reckoned without Pardew throwing a spanner in the works by trying to put his own stamp on the team which has gradually worn down the team spirit ( which again wasn't helped by selling AC at the last minute without even a replacement).

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 We are significantly better now than we were in the relegation season though. I know it sometimes doesn't seem like it, but we are. I'm a lot more worried than I was a couple of weeks ago, but I still think we'll survive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I think we will go down. So much so that you have to say it twice in about six hours? : Nah, I've said it all season. I've actually said it so much that one bloke actually wanted to bet £100 against me. I couldn't afford £100, offered him £10, but he rejected. He probably made the right decision to pull out Do you want a f***ing medal for thinking we'll go down all season? The absolute worst kind of pathetic I want a f***ing medal for not losing my mind regardless of us having a good or bad run of results.And instead of repeating myself too much, I've stated my opinions in the signature You kill my brain cells by merely existing. are you sure thats not radiation? For sure. You just have to ignore statements like that. Radiation is a cruel thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Can see us picking up 10 points, tops. Hopefully that will be enough to keep us up. 10 points will easily be enough. We need 6, and quite frankly if we don't get at least 6 points from our run home we don't deserve to stay up. Really? You think 42 points will definitely be enough to stay up?

Guest Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 If we win 1 more game, it pretty much means that 5 of the bottom 7 would have to win 3 out of 8 to finish ahead of us with our goal difference as it is. That's highly unlikely. You might get 2 or 3 who manage it, and that's without even considering the fact we might scrape 2 or 3 wins out of 8 ourselves. I think we're fine.

However, I would like to point out that this is not like any other Premier League season (that I can remember anyway). There are no Burnley's, Derby's etc. Every team has a chance of staying up, and with the exception of Wigan (arguably) I don't think any club's fate is sealed. Have a look at Wolves' fixtures for example. The form they are in, they could easily pick up 12 points. We can only hope our players haven't grown complacent and bought into the mentality that we are safe and nailed on for a mid-table finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 In fact you could add our points tally from the last 8 games under Shearer to ours and we'd probably be safe with a little bit to spare. I don't think we'll be that bad this season either so would take one monumental fuck up to go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been enough every other Premiership 20-team season, bar one. So I don't see why this year will be any different. Really? It's far from being a normal year. West Ham or Wolves just need to get 1.25 points per game to change that, which they look capable of. I haven't thought about it too heavily for a few games, but I think I agree it'll be enough by the way. Seem to recall there are a lot of six pointers which will pit our dangerous rivals against each other and make one of them less dangerous. Still, I wouldn't call myself confident at 42... Call me at 44 and we can start talks. To change my position I'd need more than two teams to have their form absolutely collapse and I can only see one really clear candidate for that - Blackburn. Probably with Villa, given what I've heard about off field activities, and us bringing up the rear in pure form terms, with Blackpool following on to an even lesser extent.

JH Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Put it this way, if a team with more than 42 points goes down, even with the Premier League as it has been this season, I'll be very very surprised. It has been competitive and they have pulled off some good performances, but there's a reason why Wigan, West Ham and Wolves have spent most of the season down there. Call me an eternal optimist, but I can't see all of those teams between us pulling in more points than us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Just looking at our fixtures. Blackpool away looks absolutely critical to me. Speaking at this point in time i.e. given what I think it will say about how our prior two games will have gone, if we lose that I think we're down. I'd be confident of it. Further to that, less than 4 points from the next 3 games and I think we're down. We need to bay for fucking Wolverhampton's blood... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brazilianbob Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Given our home form against mid table/struggling sides we will be lucky to get three more points this season! Away from home Blackpool have the indian sign on us, Villa will have a point to prove after hammering them earlier in the season, Chelsea, well what more can I say other than no points there, Man U at home is a zero, as will the scousers away (Carroll to send us down anyone?), West Brom and Birmingham at home will be fighting to avoid the drop too just like Wolves. NUFC just don't do results when under pressure at the wrong end of the table. At best we might get two or three draws but I am not at all confident we can stay up, it all depends on how well the other teams do as I think it will be taken out of our hands at some point soon if we can't get a win or two.

Can't imagine what squad morale must be like..... We'll be in that all too familiar situation of following the games of others with more expectancy and hope than we follow our own methinks. One small saving grace is that, for the meanwhile at least, our GD is still one extra point despite going negative on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I suppose the good thing is that even with our rubbish form we're still 11th. By this time two years ago we were already 18th, two points adrift of safety and the pressure was on big time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
