Mistle17 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Anything from Spurs, Liverpool and Villa will just be a (big) bonus, imo. Pompey, Fulham and Boro will effectively decide our fate. I dont know what to think, tbh. I'm so fucked up and nervous about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 We got one of the points away from home I think we needed to get if we were going to catch the stragglers. We still need to take at least 7 points from the 3 home games and a point from Spurs and/or Villa will see us safe. I'll stay a 5 as we're still very much in the shit but battling back to nick a point today is massive. The light at the end of the tunnel is just that little bit brighter.

CaliMag Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Still at 7 - where I was in January. So far no surprises and still a 70% chance we are going down. I think we'll get another 7-8 points and it won't be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBG Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Still a 5. All to play for. A good point today, Tottenham is a winnable game and we have 3 massive home games. Portsmouth and Hull are getting sucked into it. It would make my year if we beat Liverpool at Anfield to stay up and stop them winning the league. Not likely though.

Yorkie Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Decent result today, in spite of the performance. If he'd been appointed a bit sooner, Shearer might have had time to footle with the first team formation and whatnot, to find a formula better than the clearly unworkable 4-4-2. The 3-5-2 didn't work but atleast the guy realised the error and eradicated it, something there's been a lack of all season long. He isn't afraid to make decisions on the touchline and whilst he isn't a genius (yet ), he's got more balls and more nouse than what we've had previously. That point keeps Sunderland and Hull well and truly in the shit, given the other results - and we've got three very winnable home games. I've been thinking for a couple of weeks that ten points will keep us up; we've got the one - now it's nine to go. We need to find three wins from somewhere. We'll do it; very, very shit result for Hull today and i still think they'll pip us to that elusive 18th spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Slightly more confident, still a 7 or 8. Important point and could give us some confidence. Boro victory, while dangerous, could crush Hull and really think they're in serious danger, along with Sunderland of course. Blackburn and Pompey kept within distance too. Could even see Hull going without another win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Its at an 8 or 9 for me. But every result can change that I guess, its just that we can be so unpredictable! Its going to the final match imo, which scares me shitless. But then again I also feel semi-numb too, I mean when you've made all the mistakes we have in one season and mismanaged endlessly, this is the price you pay.

mrmojorisin75 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 it's over we're not coming back from this 10 EDIT: just seen the mackems are only 2 points away and probably won't pick up more than 6 points rest of the season, 9!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I still think 7 more points and we'll just be safe, but will go into the final day of the season with the chance of going down. Can't see Hull getting another 3 points, if they did, that would put them on 37 with a terrible goal difference. Boro and Pompey at home are simply must wins, spurs, fulham, villa represent chances to pick up draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 for some strange reason im more confident this morning than i was the last few weeks. I can honestly see us getting 3 points v Spurs. Need to start Big Andy Carroll. When is Barton due back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Even though I've got us as a 9, I'm pretty confident Hull will go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I think we'll stay up on goal difference. I've worked the predictor out a few times over the last week and i've got Boro and Hull joining WBA. The mackems should be okay as they'e got Hull at home and WBA away, which are both games they should win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Nothing's changed the last two weeks really. I had us down to lose against Chelsea and draw with Stoke, and Sunderland to lose against West Ham & Man Utd. Still think if we win 3 games, we're safe.
