TRon Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yep, also why the fuck couldn't Villa wallop Norwich 6:1 instead of Sunderland. The Mackems were the one side down there with a goal difference too good to dent. it's called momentum mate. I tried to point you in this direction a couple of weeks ago but you insisted on putting your faith in stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Don't remember being this nervous for a game. Can't come soon enough. Glad I'm there like, feel like I need to be there to 'influence' it. Hoping for a good defiant atmosphere and if we do have to have a must win game, I can't think of a better opponent. Shitting it like but fucking Howay.

Dokko Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The wait is killing me already. I voted yes, no idea why like, mainly because anything other than a win is unthinkable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Ben Arfa's going to be a big factor here. We need players of his ilk, he won't hide, will look for the ball and will make stuff happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 If Swansea can stop Wigan from winning on Tuesday then a point here might be enough. I know it's pathetic but I have a lot more faith in other teams getting us results than us doing it ourselves at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's pathetic but I have a lot more faith in other teams getting us results than us doing it ourselves at this stage. This is the scenario i've been spinning in my head. If they don't beat Swansea and then lose to Arsenal, they have to beat Villa with pressure galore on them. Unfortunately they seem to be able handle that pressure rather well.

Dave Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Us needing only a point (or thinking we only need a point) is just about the worst thing that could happen IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Us needing only a point (or thinking we only need a point) is just about the worst thing that could happen IMO. It is but you can sense that's exactly what Pardew is thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Us needing only a point (or thinking we only need a point) is just about the worst thing that could happen IMO. I thought previously we might get two points in the next three games realistically so I'm trying to build a best case scenario round that. There's also a possibility that we might get a point at home to Arsenal in the final game. It's clutching at straws, but at this point I'm clinging to anything we can get.

Gallowgate Toon Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Arsenal looked ordinary today and haven't won up for here for a few years IIRC? I think we'll get a point in that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 This could be the alcohol talking but we should beat these bastards. Although other resulst went against us, our performance today showed that with some effort, we can win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I can't believe we are in this fucking situation. I can't believe the teams we have lost to at home. Swansea, West Ham, Sunderland? Fuck off. Would you give Harry Redknapp the job if it meant he would throw the game? Pointless, hypothetical question. yes Yes, because first of all he's better than Pardew and second of all survival is more important than anything. I can't bare another season in the Championship especially when a lot of our players won't stay at the club this time around. Colo, MYM, Debuch, Santon, Danny, Cabaye, Tiote etc. will all be gone..

JH Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Have they moved this game to monday ? sure I read something about it being on sky? They've got a game tomorrow, one on Tuesday, one on Wednesday, one on Saturday, two on Sunday and one on Tuesday so it'd seem unlike that they'd add another game. Looks like Twitter bollocks to me.
