joeyt Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Has any team ever stayed up with 1 point after 8 games? I know Harry likes to paint it that Spurs were on minus 6 after 15 games when he took over but they had more than one point I think? They had two points. There was a graphic on MOTD earlier, there's been 3 occasions in the PL when a team has had 1pt after 8 games and on 2 of those the team was relegated - I forget which team and season it was though. Southampton in the 90s at some point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Werent portsmouth in serious trouble one season? Redknap saved them in the end Not in the long term, rarely mentioned but his splashing of mental cash is one of the reasons they are where they are today. (not all his fault of course tbf).

Oakie Doke Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 He's saved every club at some point or another. Then he sacrificed himself for our sins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godot Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 They complained about MoNg putting 10 men behind the ball every game but he looks vindicated in doing it really judging by their defensive performances now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 So, are the drunks back in charge of the dressing room down there after PDC's failed attempt to flush them out ? Aye- looks like dicanio tried to challenge the couldnt give a fuck workless attitude at the club- the lazy fuckers didnt like and cried to short , who suicidaly backed them. The fun goes on..........

BrettNUFC Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Getting a head of ourselves again I think Yup. People confidently predicting a win last year and we got dicked.

Benwell Lad Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Despite them being in total disarray, us looking like we're in quite decent shape and our players being so much better than theirs, I will gladly sign up to the "happy with a point" brigade.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thankfully we don't have Benfica three days before this like last year so should be in a lot better shape Aye we were knacked but the scoreline flattered them. We'd have won if Cisse's onside goal had stood. I think their third was offside. But there's no excuse for letting Johnson shoot on his left - how often has he done that to us? Cut inside, shoot, score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The way we played yesterday we should win this comfortably. But with a derby you just never know. Hopefully we don't get anyone sent off this time - they are there for the taking! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Just don't get anyone stupidly sent off or allow that fucker Johnson to have free shots and I think we'll win. Centre back is obviously a concern though despite Dummetts good performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bag if nerves now and it's a week away. For me, our league position is paramount. A point in a derby is fine. It's their cup final, not ours Aye i'd take a point away from home, however would be criminal to accept a point at home to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
