Ryan Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Finish 8th in the league having a poor late January/early February. FA Cup fifth round exit away to Manchester United and we'll beat the mackems at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Will depend entirely on January. A left-back, a centre-back and no outgoings, i think we'll finish comfortably inside the Top 8. If anyone goes and/or we don't sign anyone, we'll do well to finish in the top half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think we'll finish between 12th and 10th which will be poor if we do because we have a better first 11 then last season when we lost 10 place on the last day of the season. In the FA Cup we'll play as strong a team as possible and that will also impact on our league position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 fizzle out (at best) time for pardew to show what he's made of - to be fair he's surprised us all more than once before i suppose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 We really need 8-10 points from these next 5 games going into the Spurs away game. If we get those, we'll have got the winning/not losing knack back and I think we'll finish 7th. If not, top 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 No proper investment will see us finish 10-11th, 2-3 players in we'll be 7th easily Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 With reinforcements in defence and midfield we can finish 7th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Right now, if we finished 8th or above, I'll be fucking amazed. We'll beat Blackburn 2-1 in the cup, and go out at *Big PL club* away in the 4th round. This really for me(plus a lot of what otter said earlier) although we are being generous with the cup game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Wow come positivity in here eh... Howay man lads.. yes we will do fuck all in this window, yes we will miss Ba & Tiote when they are at the ACN but I still think we will finish 7th maybe even 6th. Not worried about the scum, let them be obsessed with us all they want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Unless Pardew gets his fucking finger out this relegation form will continue. No, we wont go down because as bad as we've been we'll get another ten points but we could easily finish mid bottom half. Ashley made it clear where we finish is immaterial the moment he decided 'a striker wasn't needed' - or 'we wont go down now i'll keep the pounds in the bank' Pardews tactics are getting more shite as the weeks go by. Absolutely no one I know would have Obertan near the team. Vuckic starting at Liverpool - his amazing 'we should have been more posiitive' statement post match showed his for what I fear he is. He's about half way to undoing all the good work of the first ten games. Mid bottom half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Early exit in the cup, some decent wins, some dismal defeats, no significant movement this month, home draw in the derby. Season will fizzle out a tad. Finishing ultimately 8th. 9-11th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Jerusalem Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The form and general play of the last two months or so hasn't been convincing and prior to that we had a lot of games where we more than rode our luck but managed to come through. The performances in so called 'winnable' matches were woeful and the manager continues to select players most would have decided were a bad investment months ago. That is in conjunction with, barring one emergency signing due to a long term injury, the club not being willing to buy players to bolster a squad thin on players and quality and at the same time has no interest in loaning players either so we'll be left with the same lack of options by 1st February. Can't see nothing but a continued slide at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Difficult to say. Pardew's long ball tactics have been effective in some games but how much of that is down to Ba's form? Will the players get fed up with it? Personally I think we will fizzle out and finish around 9th-10th. Other clubs like Stoke, Sunderland, WBA and even Fulham who are more sure of their football philosophy will make up ground as they bed their players into their style while we look like we are going to be stuck between two stools.

Guest JS Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I see us with about 50-55 points, would take anywhere above 10th tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
womblemaster Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 at current form...13th. knocked out in next round of the cup to a big side. Poor leadership at this club is keeping us on the long road to mediocrity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
