Jayson Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Put it from a 9 to a 6. Cant sway it further towards no chance when we're still so close to the relegation zone. But i really do have a lot more hope now.....fully believe we can get something against Fulham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Under no circumstances v Fulham do I want to hear that "We are stayin up" song that some charvas were trying to get going yesterday. Thats nowt to sing about ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmymag Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I know us staying up is more important, but how sweet would it be if both us AND Hull won on Saturday, meaning we were upto 16th, and Sunderland slipping into the bottom three going into their match on the Monday at Portsmouth? What are you saying man? Why would any Newcastle supporter want Hull to win on Saturday? Do you enjoy being put through the wringer? If you got your wish and both Hull and Newcastle win on Saturday then we'd be sweating on the mackem's game v Pompey and, more importantly, we could still go down on the last day of the season. I'd much prefer us to beat Fulham and Hull lose on Saturday to virtually guarantee our Premiership survival, and fuck what the mackem's do, but obviously hoping that they lose both of their games and Hull somehow beat the Mancs' 3rd team on the last day of the season to send the unwashed down.

BlueStar Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 If West Brom and Boro lose their next match they can't catch us, which makes it nicely between us and Hull. I've got this nightmare of being down at Villa Park and hearing that Hull have got a goal against Man U, leaving us needing something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest black n white Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Down from a 9.9 to a 7. Anything less would seem to discount the ability of this team to f*** it all up in an amazing and unexpected way. Agree with that, word for word. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I believe we'll stay up. I don't think we'll go down. That's why i'm on a 1. I appreciate that it could still happen, i just don't think it will. Sat here - right now; i think we'll beat Fulham and that should just about seal it. We'll go into the Villa game with a spring in our step, n'all. 1. Hilariously over-optimistic tbh, we're still pretty much shit remember? Despite being an absolutely dreadful team, Boro still were well in the game last night until the last few minutes. If Emnes wasn't a complete disaster of a footballer we'd have been in trouble. Luckily, Hull are an even worse team right now and are more likely to go down than us, that can't be denied. But Bolton have given up on the season, and I can easily see Hull getting something there if things go their way. We'll be rejuvinated against Fulham and I think we'll give em a good game, but they're a very well organised side who'll punish us if we're dodgy at the back and will be vastly harder to create chances against than Boro were. Just hate this attitude some people have adopted now that we've finally eeked out a home win against one of the worst teams in the league, like everything's going to be rosey from here on in. We're still right down there in the shit, make no mistake about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I am not confident at all that we will beat Fulham. They are a quality outfit at the moment and they have to be considered the favourites. It will be a much harder game than the Boro. However, I think with this confidence we can get a result! As a side note. Did Martins do his celebrationary backflip last night? I didn't see him do it on the tele but I'm sure I either saw it on highlights OR I dreamt it... Pretty sure I dreamt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Cool. I've had some weird dreams recently. The night before the game I dreamt that I got a train to St James' park to see the match but I got stuck in a church with a sermon done by my old music teacher. I couldn't get out, fucking scary.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Changed my vote from a 9 to an 8. We could still have a lot to do. Our fate is back in our own hands though and hopefully yesterday's result has restored some confidence. West Brom and Middlesbrough can get a maximum of 37 point. Hull can get a maximum of 40 points. We can get a maximum of 40 points but our current goal difference over the current bottom 3 is almost like having another point.

Dr Venkman Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 bollocks to wanting hull to win just to worry sunderland, we gave up the right to think about taunting any other set of fans very early on in the season. we just need to concentrate on getting safe, which i think we will be, but only by goal difference. i think we'll take one point from the next two games.

Yorkie Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hilariously over-optimistic that i think we'll win a home game against a side that's only won twice away from home all season? Hilariously over-optimistic that i think a team that has won 1 in about 20 won't win away at Bolton? Fairysnuff. Jesus man... i appreciate that it could happen but i don't think it will. Maybe there needs to be more definitions next to the numbers on the Ometer... but if someone asked me today "do you think Newcastle will go down?" I would say "No." Simple as that really? God forbid a bit of rejuvinated hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid a bit of rejuvinated hope. People reckon that because it's us and we're involved in it, the form book will be torn up and the opposite to what is expected will happen. Hull are shit, but if they win they'll send us down, so they're bound to win! Despite the fact that they're in the bottom three and a steaming pile of shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Maybe i should have just said four, or something. Tbh - this relegationometer has been 'fun' and a decent judge of where people's heads are at. But now it's just a bit meh - we're either gonna stay up or go down. If we're being technical i should have just said four, or something, cos i understand the varying permutations and that we could still be relegated. I don't think we will though.

Shak Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'd taken the numbers to be like a percentage. As in 3 = 30% chance you think we'll go down and so on and so forth. I'd be somewhere between a 3 and a 4 at the moment like. As in I think if the last couple of weeks of the season were played out three seperate times we'd go down one of those times. Never said Hull would win at Bolton, either, and they may not have to. Point could be enough. And yes I know they're shite but did you see the Bolton-Sunderland game at the weekend? I did and it wasn't pretty, Bolton have switched off and that could even the playing field for Hull. And Fulham may not have the best of away form but we're hardly a powerhouse now are we? Nowt wrong with a bit of hope but to see what I read as you saying we have only about a 10% chance of going down, when we're only out of the relegation on goal difference with two fixtures to go, just really made me shake my head tbh.

Robster Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Erring on the side of caution still. 7 This is NUFC remember. We are still capable of blowing it although I have to admit, momentum is now with us more than any of the bottom 3 (maybe WBA but they have Liverpool on Saturday) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
