Decky Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wigan will surely be resting key players against Swansea too with the final a few days later? There's no way they can go full strength three times in the space of a week? Will they though? A cup final or even a cup win would be lovely, but is that more important than survival? They've only ever been in one major cup final and that was the League Cup, which isn't really that prestigious and they didn't even win that final either. This is their chance for the first proper piece of silverware in their history. If Newcastle had no major trophies would you take one now if it mean't going down? You could always come straight back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 After this weekend's developments I am now absolutely convinced we are going down. Everything is falling into place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 There is a real risk that 40 points will not be enough and I can't see us getting 40. Having witnessed West Brom 1st half against us I think Wigan will get at least a point and I think they'll beat Swansea. Villa will be safe by the last game and Wigan will beat them. We're huge value at 6/1 to go down. Lose at WH and Wigan win puts us nearer 2/1 or shorter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was that first half that persuaded Clarke to switch to 3 up front and batter us second half then go and do Southampton 3-0 - hopefully he sticks with it for the Wigan game and turns them over!

Elliottman Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Gary Neville gave some comfort in so much he said the Wigan lads will be fucked going to Arsenal after playing at Wembley. West Brom is the key game for me, if they get beat then I think they might just have left them too much today. Again, this is all on the basis that we get zero more points too.

I might watch the Wigan one, I've almost resigned myself to defeat for ours. Being local to the midlands I might go watch the WBA game. I can tell you though that the fans I've spoken to want Wigan to win to send Villa down. That might have changed after last night though ffs.

Spider Jerusalem Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Praying Wigan dont win a game before the cup final, that will probably be it for us. Aye - can see us going into the Arsenal game on the same points with a goal difference touching -30 the way we've 'played' recently and Villa not giving a stuff against Wigan, sending us down again.

Wullie Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Someone at work's made a good point like. If Harry is going to have a crack at promoting QPR, it's significantly in his interests to take Wigan down with them rather than us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Doubt Harry will actually think that far. And we ourselves will be hit by significant player departures should we go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did this season have to go on so long, can't they just shoot us now? That cheated handball goal at Wigan could be the most costly refereeing mistake in the history of English football.

Aye, desperately trying to think of something to do with the bairn on Saturday, needs to be something very entertaining for me to avoid checking the scores. Going to Edinburgh on Sunday to take her to the zoo, specifically made it on the Sunday so I didn't miss the match on Saturday.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
