The College Dropout Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Next seasons Premier league should have been the best ever with Pep, Jose, Klopp and the cash that will be flying around to bring in the best players. Ashley has done himself in here with both us and sports Direct. Its a crying shame that the Premier league will have Stoke, Bournemouth, WBA, Watford, Swansea, Palace, Norwich, Burnley and Brighton It's not like. The sooner us, Sunderland and Villa fuck off until we become proper football clubs the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Probably a 9 now. It's obviously not impossible, but it'd take some run of form that little suggests could happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 If they were losing narrowly whilst looking like they still have a fuck I'd be on a 9.5 but as it is they're essentially staring down the barrel of relegation and they can't summon up enough courage to even have a go until the games almost finished. It's a 10, it can't be anything else now, they don't care and no amount of coaching and drilling can change that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Ive always hated spuds - their arsehole cockey fans talking like they've won the European cup for the last 10 seasons. To think they'll be the ones ripping the piss out of us on the last day when we are relegated, and could even pick up the PL trophy at SJP... fuck.

ExiledGeordie Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 No chance we're staying up. Club needs to start again completely and hopefully at some point we'll be Ashley free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 It's such a shit move, we'd all resigned to relegation, shrugged and detached ourselves emotionally only for Rafa to turn up bringing hope and belief again then our players shit on us from a great height. It's just cruel man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 No chance we're staying up. Club needs to start again completely and hopefully at some point we'll be Ashley free. sometimes i dream there are a host of secret buyers out there just waiting for relegation to take it off ashley's hands at a non-ripoff price - i.e. not the 500m he'd probably ask for - and make us not shit.

Mick Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I've come back from a 10 to 9 but we don't look like stopping up. We probably need to win all of our home games and I can't see us beating Man City and Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Sad times when i really don't give a shit about the danger of going down i expect it , Its karma to ashley the only time he has spent on players/manager because he knows the cash he will miss out on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 We're essentially 7 point from safety with Norwichs goal difference, with 24 to play for, were going down. I am facing reality now, if we'd got a point I'd have still fancied it, but to lose a six pointer at this stage and hand a relegation rival such a confidence booster is game over basically. We are down and ironically probably because of those back to back wins against Liverpool and Spurs before Christmas. That allowed Ashley and Charnley to sit on their hands and hope for the best instead of making a hard headed decision that was required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The writing was on the wall a long time ago with McClaren, the Rafa appointment was far too late. We probably should have got rid of him in November to be fair, it couldn't have been Rafa then but even with someone different we could have been in a much better position now. It was always going to take a miracle to turn this around, a team drained of confidence and fucks to give, too little, too late. It's just heart wrenching that we made the move for a quality manager at a time when he can't do much about the slide and we are left thinking about what could have and should have been.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Nevermind the new manager bounce, we don't even get the dead cat bounce. How can these players be so abject? They can barely string a pass together. 1st half play against Sunderland and Norwich in must win games was absolutely pathetic. There seems to be no fight, organisation, team spirit, accountability, creativity or leadership on the pitch. I can't see where our next win is coming from nevermind getting enough points to stay up.

Dave Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Reasonable chance we'll lose every remaining match now. Only Swansea at home looks winnable. Be staggered if we crack 30 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 BP: "Does the club have any plans in the event of relegation as far as season tickets are concerned? In the event of relegation, does the club intend to reimburse any fans on the direct debit scheme if they decide to cancel their season ticket?" The club is confident of remaining in the Premier League and, as a result, has not discussed plans in such detail across the business at this stage. TP asked if relegation would affect [the new training ground] plans. The club has not discussed that scenario to date. We were 18th then. Wonder if they've discussed it yet?

nufcjb Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Could see us actually avoid relegation had we drew or that Cisse header went in. The momentum and psychological effect would have been huge. We needed to pick up 3 points in games that we should like against Norwich and get a surprise unlikely win against Southampton, City or Liverpool. We won't get out of it now and if we do, I'd be happy to chip in for the Rafa statue outside SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 What are everyone's predictions? AWAY: 8 4 points Everton L Chelsea L Stoke D L Leicester L Norwich W L Southampton D Liverpool L Villa W HOME: 13 8 points West Brom W (Man City D) Bournemouth W L Makems W D Swansea W Palace L Spurs L 21 12 points An estimated 12 from 45 points, look realistic at the time IMO, even pre-Rafa. Frustrating looking at those fixtures which seemed winnable. Three away games, two good sides and Villa. Four home games, two good sides. 8 points max is my guesstimate. Without doing a Leicester (2014/15 variety) there is no way back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 On a cast-iron 9 now...just needs arithmetical certainty to move to a 10. I had no doubts that these players are the biggest waste of money - collectively - that I have ever seen wearing a B&W shirt. That is why I felt that this game was as pivotal to the future of the club as was the David Kelly/Portsmouth match at SJP in 1992, and as I expected, these players were NOT up to the job. They lack heart and skill....passing in the first half was deplorable for supposed PL professionals and they are clearly not bothered about the club - hardly surprising when the owner and 'directors' have such a cynical and financially-oriented view as to what the club is about....these same directors are responsible for signing such a useless bunch. Rafa should have been appointed after Chelsea at the very latest, but even then, he would have had a virtually impossible task with this set of misfits. The club will NOT recover from this relegation any time soon and now is likely to join the ranks of the Sheff Weds, Wolves and Leeds of this world by settling in to a second-rate future. In every respect apart from its fan base - which is also shrinking fast - the club is second rate and thinks that way....consolidation in the Championship will suit Ashley & Co down to the ground if he can get rid of players on relatively high wages and a large enough number of mugs keep turning up at SJP. No chance of Rafa staying in my view, and we will be looking at the likes of Curbishley to keep the club in a mid-table Championship spot for the foreseeable future. Totally disgusted at the whole sham and let's face it, after the cranially-challenged idiots who call themselves NUFC fans kept the ball and played with it, resulting in a second ball being thrown on as our players relaxed before the free-kick at HT which resulted in Norwich's first, does the club deserve any better..??

Possibly.............. however I wont be rushing home from work to watch WBA v Burnley on a monday night. I'm obviously just jealous but its a shame that the championship will contain a lot bigger clubs than the Premiership. If this means that in future 'big' clubs don't take their present stays for granted as we have then I'm all for it objectively non-toon speaking of course. All the so-called 'smaller' clubs mentioned on this thread have one of two things...either they are in a more prosperous part of the country(and this is beginning to count more and more....look at how many so-called 'big' clubs from the North & Midlands are fixtures in the Championship or worse), OR they are run properly by people who care and know what they are doing - NUFC is neither of those things and Ashley's people management is like a handbook by Cyril Smith on hang-gliding.... History counts for nothing now and NUFC will be in the Championship - or worse - for quite a few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
