cp40 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 When we were top of the table in 96, i never ever thought i would see relegation again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 8. Think we have a decent chance of getting something at Villa tbh, but Hull have just as good a chance, if not more, of getting something against Man U. Similiar to how I felt about last Saturday tbh, I reckon the most likely outcome is that Hull and ourselves will come away from the games with a loss and a draw between us. Just need to pray it's us that get the result this time. Doubt it, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 When we were top of the table in 96, i never ever thought i would see relegation again. To be fair, when we were 14th under Souness I didn't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Feel a little more optimistic this morning after thinking about it so a 7 Man U to beat Hull is still the most likely outcome from that game, which means that a draw at an out of form, nothing to play for Villa will be enough - surely theres a decent realistic chance of that happening Pretty much my thoughts.

BlueStar Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 You'd like to think the enormity of the match on Sunday would have our lot playing out of their skins, but on the previous showing of some of the sackless bastards it's hard to imagine that happening.

mrmojorisin75 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 i'm at 9.99 recurring now - win will be enough i reckon, maybe even a draw, i just don't think we've got enough in us to get either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Like many others my head says "no, we can't stay up" but my heart says "yes". 1 Point could be all that is needed, and it is definitely achievable. But given the performances and passion I've seen from our lot this season I cannot see us showing the same amount of heart as what those in the stands will be showing, thus ending up in defeat. I'm on an 8 now - but we aren't down until we're mathematically down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Trying to work out what would piss me off more, winning and going down anyway or losing when we only would have needed a point to stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordieglory Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Trying to work out what would piss me off more, winning and going down anyway or losing when we only would have needed a point to stay up. Definitely the second, a million times out of a million. If we win and still go down then we've done all we can (albeit too late, but we have to focus on the now), but if we lose when we would have only needed the draw to stay up, well that would be us throwing away ANOTHER opportunity to get safe, and that would be by far the worse outcome.

midds Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 7 now. Still in it up to our necks but any result gives us a chance. Win the game and we're safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 7 now. Still in it up to our necks but any result gives us a chance. Win the game and we're safe. Same here, from an 8 to a 7 after tonight. Funny how I'm always more optimistic the longer it is since I've seen us play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Still on 6. I think Man U will beat Hull so a draw against Villa will be enough. If we show any sort of heart or desire that should be enough to get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 The pin prick of light in the darkness has now gone up to a glimmer. Dare to dream. Another result has gone our way. We'll have to throw everything at Aston Villa and hope it's enough. At least now there's 3 teams (4 if you count Middlesbrough) shitting it on the last day of the season. Sunderland now have a worse goal difference than Newcastle. That point against Fulham might have come in handy Howard Webb you bastard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Assuming Boro are down - leaves 27 combinations of results from us, Hull and the shite. 11 of those combinations keeps us up. Yes, I'm nervous. Yes, I'm boring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 So 16 of 27 results combinations would send us down? I'm up to a 9.5 then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
