I shouldn't look at this thread.

 

You still think there's a 50% chance we'll go down? Like, if we played the rest of the season out 10 times, we'd go down 5 times?

 

Im not getting into this again.  :lol:

Beat Wigan on Sunday and I think we've got ourselves over the line. I think we've picked up form at just the right time, our class is just starting to pull us away.

 

Give Europe as good as we've got and give the mackems a pasting should be our priorities now.

2. I think 6 more points are needed.

 

I think one more win might do it after everyone has played each other, 2 to be sure. As long as one of them is against the mackems that will do.

We'll be fine man. I think we'll need another 4 points probably but I think we'll get more. We nearly got a point today despite not playing well and we were obviously fucked over. Think we'll win our next 2 home games and I reckon we'll draw against Arsenal last day of the season at home. Probably a point picked up on the road as well somewhere.

We won't be anywhere near relegation.

 

We've been near all season and we're still near now so not sure why you think things are going to massively improve.

 

Even the manager himself basically admits that it is impossible for him to pick up any points if he's got more than two or three injuries.

We've not once been in the bottom three, and we're 6 points clear of the relegation zone. I don't consider that being close.

 

Yet sunderland are four points away and they're supposedly in big trouble?

 

Either way it's going to be an utterly grim end to the season.

Our form is so much better than theirs, and I don't think they are in that big trouble anyway.

Our end of the season will depend heavily on how long Debuchy and especially Cabaye are out.

Are we doing any better points wise from 17th than we were after the Reading game? Despite the influx of quite a few very talented players we seem no further forward in any area.

 

I don't think we'll go down but being 6 points off 17th (with a game more) after 30 games is a big worry, especially as we've been "too good to go down" before.

It frightens me how little we've improved since the new players came in and moreso that we seem to be a downward spiral as we predictably coach them to be worse.

 

Certainly we have picked up but only relative to how bad we were before. We've beaten Stoke, Soton, Villa and Chelsea - three of those it would have been shameful not to have beaten anyway, but then we lose to Wigan so that balances that out. We've spent £20m and gone from a team that's possibly going to be relegated to a team that's probably not going to be relegated. That's hardly a massive leap forward.

 

All season Pardew's defenders said that the overwhelming cause of our poor football, offensively and defensively, was Simpson and Williamson. They've not played for ages now, can anyone honestly say our attacking game has improved?

Take away Halsey's last minute mess up, we've essentially drawn that game. An improvement on normal.

 

Our attacking play is so predictable though, I think I've turned against having one up front - we rarely look a threat.

At this point I'm not convinced any formation or even personnel changes would make the slightest bit of difference.
