Are we safe now? YES WE ARE!

Another win should just about seal safety.

 

Not sure I'd go that far, but beating Wolves would be almost as important because of the opposition and the confidence boost as the points.

For us to go down one of the bottom 3 has to win 2 more games than us. Is that likely? Doubtful.

 

Wolves have won as many games as we have, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

 

The next game is fucking huge for us.

Still think there's 3 significantly worse teams, namely Wigan, Wolves and Blackpool.

 

Wolves have a lot of spirit.

 

You can add us to that list, though. Team hate the manager, manager hates the fans, fans hate the manager, zero spirit.

 

We're at very real risk

Would any of them concede 4 goals to stoke?

exactly. For that reason I`d put us 20th in terms of form right now. Apathy indeed.

Now, ive had 24 hours to digest the stoke loss I see it this way;

 

Mike Ashley is a gambler, so its in his nature. He reckoned even without Carroll we would stay up. We might, or we might not.

If we do stay up, splash all the cash on players this summer and come out the strengthened team, I`ll give credit where credit is due.

ending up 10th or 15th like is no big difference if it means you can properly shop this summer. In that case he will have gambled and won.

However, if we do go down, its been an utter failure.

Unfortunately Mike doesnt deem the risk too high, so atm we are trying to cope without any real strikers.

As for the big Hughton vs Pardew debate, you lot seem to forget one thing:

 

Hughton at least had proper strikers, a fit Carroll and a fit Ameobi.

Apples and oranges tbh..

If you're looking for teams that are on the slide, I reckon it is us, you, Blackburn and Blackpool

 

It is as wide open as it has been for years, and nobody in a big batch of teams can be ruled out.

Next game will be interesting. Past 3 or 4 games against you we've generally been the better side yet contrived not to win any, so don't rule out a scrappy 1-0 win. Or another draw. We like draws.

On the same note Arsenal had never thrown a 4 goal lead to anybody else, ever. Great us man.

I can see we're in trouble now but little titbit stats like that are meaningless. :lol:

 

3 points off Wolves are crucial though.
