Stifler Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I support the boycott and wanting Ashley out. However I can't support the sentiment of our own fans wanting us to go down. Relegation won't get rid of Ashley, not unless we are down for a good few years. By then it's us who suffers, there is no garuntee of us coming back up. I want Ashley gone, but I want is to win every game we can, ok so this season I'll settle for a few alternative results to send Sunderland down, but not at our expense. A point against Liecester would be good for us, a point to put our head above water and virtually garuntee Premier League football next year, and a point that would hopefully fuck over Sunderland. Ideally we need a win frm somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'd like to see us get as close as possible without actually going down. It's what everyone connected with the club at present deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Why does it matter the division we are in when there's no sporting ambition at the club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest axel Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Exactly. Would rather take league two or conference with ambition at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I think I'd rather follow my team and support it the way I used to in trying to get out of the 3rd Division without Ashley rather than have no connection whatsoever and passively watch us go through the motions year after year after year with Ashley still here. I know it's not as easy as that but I want to feel part of Newcastle United again. At the minute I feel nothing, win () or lose, and I want that emotion back again regardless of the cost. Not saying I'm actively wanting us to go down but I wouldn't give the first fuck if it happened. Desperate times need desperate solutions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 WBA, WHU at home, Leicester and qpr away is the easiest run in any team has, no chance we won't pick up enough points. Somewhere between 18-50/1 for us to go down, those going for 8 upwards please put your money where you mouth is. Somehow I doubt your concern is that great.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It's hard to say which games will be difficult for the bottom teams. Sunderland have Arsenal and Chelsea to play but both those teams will probably have little to play for when Sunderland play them. It can work both ways, teams with nothing at stake can relax and play with no pressure or they switch off and pull out of challenges not wanting to risk an injury. You can bet Leicester will be fired up to play Nufc. Also, Fat Sam would love to send us down so he'll have West Ham wound up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Before I thought there was no chance this would happen, but I'm worried now. We're definitely finishing no higher than 17th. If the mackems can manage 7 points we're going down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Indifferent as to whether Newcastle gets relegated or survive. This doesn't feel like a club anymore. It hasn't felt like a club for a very very very long time. Survival or relegation, as long as Ashley is determined to keep the club, it really doesn't matter where Newcastle is playing.

Memphis Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Never really thought it was a possibility until today. Run in, to me, is very tough. Who among the group of tiny-hearted mini-men we have on the pitch is mentally strong enough to deal with the desperation of two away fixtures against relegation-threatened teams? Leicester's won four straight and clearly have 100x the heart and spirit we do. We lose in a week's time - especially as we play the lunchtime match- and it's an incentive for the other strugglers to give it that little bit more. Additionally, we're led by Captain Caveman so who in the world knows what depths we're capable of reaching? The WBA match is the one. If we do anything other than win, we're a distinct possibility to drop. Win it and we're safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It's us or Sunderland for that last spot, convinced of it. Where are we going to get a point from, Carver hasn't got a clue how to pick the players up and grind out a win or draw. Hell, Swansea were fucking terrible today and still beat us easily, we simply cannot defend and fairly toothless in attack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Looking at our 4 fixtures: Leicester are flying at the moment and it's difficult to see how this NUFC team can stop the run they are on. However that may instill a bit of complacency in them and tbh they were one of the worst teams I've seen Play at SJP early season. Looks like a home banker on paper but we may sneak a draw from it. QPR at home have a half decent record, way better at home than away, we've beaten them though late in the season when we've needed to before, much I think will depend on their desire, if they still have a chance to stay up we could lose easily, but if they are already down then may be a good chance to pick up a vital point. West Brom aren't mathematically safe yet, only 2 pts ahead of us, they could be a lot more comfortable once we play them. Pulis usually sets his teams up to not lose away from home, that could be in our favour, if we can find some defsive ability we should get a point here. West Ham, last game of the season, with nothing to play for, you would have to expect that we would get something from the game, but we are so bad at the moment that we can't rely on their non interest. I think 2 more points are needed for survival, 35 probably won't be enough now, the home games are the easiest, but get a point at Leicester and we would be virtually there. This nufc team though under the kit man is perfectly capable of losing all our remaining games, 11 in a row no problem at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Hull's remaining fixtures. Liverpool (H), Arsenal (H), Burnley (H), Spurs (A), Man Utd (H). We would have to assume that Sunderland, Leicester, and Villa all move above us with Hull having to make up at least 4 points from their remaining fixtures for us to go down. The chances are unlikely, but if anyone is to go down under unlikely circumstances then it would bound to be us. A couple of points could prove crucial, and with our remaining fixtures they are gainable. We are by no means out of the woods, but we are not far from being there.

I would die to be a bag of nerves again on a Saturday afternoon, ecstatic after a good result, and daydreaming about potential success. Right now I just keep up with the Ashley Out campaign and that's it, otherwise just looking for other clubs around Europe to adopt as a rebound football relationship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 If we stay up its because of the rough run ins for teams below us and nothing to do with us, I can't see where our next point is coming from but I don't think the likes of Hull and Sunderland have enough in the tank to catch us. We're literally going to survive on 35 points because some other dross can't catch us on an 11 game losing streak, beautiful! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Where the heck people are getting this idea from that we're going to pick up points is beyond me. We've got a very thin squad, low on quality (and no motivation to play for the club anymore), with a 'head coach' who hasn't a clue, no balls, and has completely lost the plot. Good fucking luck with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
