geordie_b Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 We are out of both cups and 10 points clear of tenth with little chance of getting into the automatic European qualification spots. So what now for the rest of the season? I can't see us building (or wanting) to challenge for the top 5/6 and as the season fizzles out I worry the French players heading to the WC will give up. As far as I'm concerned today was the end of our season and as far as Ashley is concerned, its probably job done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Not getting beat off the mackems and maybe one more headline result to look forward me thinks aside from that I think we'll be in a league to ourselves 'til the end of the season. I'm of the opinion a few of the World Cup lot will start phoning it in come the end of the season too, players were doing it last season when we were in the shit so hard to see why they wouldn't this time. In a way it's a bit of shame the top 6/7 look so strong this season and the league is very much split already unlike it being quite staggered as per normal. Saying that 8th or 9th isn't so bad (as much as I don't like saying) particularly in reference to horrific dross we served up last season. As with last season we always have a bad run in us though.

Numbers Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Making sure we get as much money as possible for next years TV handouts (if it still works like that). Seems like this is all we are about now sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 tbh I feel like jacking everything including this place, atm anyway until Ashley et al just fuck off...and die preferably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think we'll wind up 7th or 8th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 All we can hope for is winning the Derby ( ) and see the mackems get relegated. Fucking hate the state we're in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If we can finish closer to 6th than 9th pointswise it'd be a decent season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think we'll wind up 7th or 8th. With Man United and Spurs still to play at home, you'd like to think 7th was still a possibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can lump Everton in there too. We're within 2 wins of those, win the home game there and it's also a possibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The worry will be if we start dropping like a stone as soon as 40 points is achieved. As an ex-season ticket holder, was saying to my dad-in-law who went with me today, that I miss going to games. Then again, after witnessing what I did - I remember one of the main reasons why I packed in. There's no joy in it any more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Again, depends on what will mean European qualification. 6th and even 7th could be European spots depending on how the 2 cups go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 These are my targets for the season: - Beat the mackems (& their relegation) - Try and get 7th - Secure HBA to new contract (unlikely) - Sign Remy Thats it. Depressing, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 When we buy no one this month, i think for the first time, i really wont care what happens. The FA Cup is the one thing we have a decent chance of winning, and the cunts in charge of this club just dont give a shit what we think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Oh and remember, if we report a profit when the accounts are released, it will be celebrated by the club akin to a cup-win! At least, that's what the PR will be. Wankers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If HBA doesn't look like signing a new contract he'll be peddled otherwise his value will drop in the way we like taking advantage of now mediocre French clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The run from Spurs at home to Man United at home will define the rest of our season. That's eight games where we could/should be picking up a hefty haul of points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's eight games where we could/should be picking up a hefty haul of points. The 3 games after City, we should be getting 7 points absolute minimum. That would put us to 40 points from 24 which is more or less where we were two seasons ago. Hopefully we can then go on a similar run to how that season ended in that run of games you mention.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I reckon we will be 9th, with a win against the mackems as the only major result to look forward to, I reckon we will more than likely still do OK against the lower sides and around us but start to struggle against the bigger sides as we get to the business end of the season.
