The one minor thing that people forget, though, is that our own form is actually just as bad as Hull's. Yet the optimists expect them to get nothing from Villa, and us to grab a point. Them to lose to Stoke, and us to beat Middlesbrough. Us to beat Fulham, and them to get trounced by Bolton. Their run-in is nearly as easy as ours.

 

I've been saying this for ages now, but do not rule out Hull AND Newcastle getting at least a point at our place.

 

Our players have quite clearly switched off and are mentally already on the beach. We know we're going to finish fifth or sixth, which one it is quite obviously makes no odds to them. We're also shit at home and incapable of keeping a clean sheet.

 

The only thing against you rather than Hull is that we play Hull on a Monday night, when we're going to struggle to lift our game, while we play you on what should be the sunniest, warmest afternoon of the season, in front of a full house, and in the last game, where we should at least play like were enjoying ourselves.

 

Looking at the remaining fixture, I'd say your match against Boro could quite easily decide which goes down.

 

You are in my prayers. Well, not literally, as I'm an atheist, but hey ho.

I assumed he meant 'easy'. His point about the relative form of both teams is spot on IMO. We're just hoping Hull will carry on being shit but we'll have some complete turnaround.

Sure, they have Manure the last day. That's most likely a loss, unless they've already won the league and field a bunch of youngsters. They have Liverpool at home. We've got Liverpool away. The main difference is that they're 4 points ahead of us, and we'll be lucky to get 4 points from the rest of our games.

We can't rely on other results at the end of the season, by the last  couple of games plenty of teams will be playing reserves and juniors if they've got nothing to play for. Just win the three home games and the rest will take care of itself.

What is going to happen IF we are relegated.  I mean the reaction from us fans, are there going to be a significant number of people who will be wanting Mikes head outside St James?

 

I dont think we as a group will just sit there and accept the reality, when there has been soo much wrong with the season/owners.  There will be some tempers flared.

i see that side of it, going down to a league we might compete in after clearing out heaps of the shit at the club and hopefully rebuilding with a young, hungry, vibrant team to come back up to glory

 

but fuck thinking like that until it's done dude

Did a predictor today, i honestly think we won't be relegated. I had us to beat Pompey, Fulham and Boro and nick a point at Villa. We finished 15th level on 40 points with Pompey, just better goal difference. The Mackems finshed in 17th with 37 and Hull went down with 35. Hull and Boro have horrible run ins for the rest of the season, and the mackems ain't too special either.

I think there'll be hell on in the toon on the final day if we do - remember merely losing in the FA cup final.  Things being thrown at Villa Park?

What happens if you change that to 1 win, 1 loss, 1 draw?

Their three home games are Manure, Liverpool and Stoke.  Our home games are Pompey, Fulham and Boro..  Don't bother comparing away games, neither side has a chance of getting much if anything from them, its the home games remaining that really matter.

Not at all, the fact is those games are by far the easiest run of home games we've had all season.  That's not to say they will be easy, just that if we ever had a chance of getting a few wins on the bounce this is our best so far this season.  Look back at the fixture list, we haven't had three easier home games in quick succession all season.  Meanwhile Hull play Liverpool, Manure and Stoke at home.  Its about the comparative difficulty of each teams home fixtures, not some insane belief that we'll turn everything around and they won't.

Then we'd still stay up on goal difference on the last day of the season at Villa and I'd likely need specialist treatment afterwards.

Just done the predictor.

 

We stay up on 39 points with 2 away defeats and 3 home wins. By what i put in we would stay up with 2 wins and a draw.

 

But then again i've got Smoggies and Hull down for a few draws but no more wins. So if that changes we're fucked.

I did a fairly pessemistic BBC predictor and still had us staying up on goal difference. Beating pompey and boro and losing the rest. Even had Hull draw one and we still managed it. All is not lost.

To be fair, they've got two games against Stoke at home and Bolton away that they could get anywhere between 0 and 6 points from. (apart from 5, I suppose)

 

We need them to get no more than 3 or we're in real, real shite.

 

We can only hope they don't nick something in any of their three harder fixtures, if that happens then it'll be the old toaster and the bath option for me.

Did the predictor, I have us picking up 7 points from here on in until the end of the season, 2 home wins and a draw, nowt on the road. Spells disaster still.

 

Hull playing Stoke at home is a monumental game, If they pick up a victory there, which I've included in that predictor thingy, we go down by a solitary point.   :weep: :weep: :weep: :weep:
