Superior Acuña Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Bottom of the form table: http://i.imgur.com/h2l7VyD.png Mackems have 5 games, play 3 of them. All 3 have nowt to play for. We're gone. Because the mackems reliably beat that kind of opposition? We'll probably get relegated, but it's just so plainly wrong that 'we're gone' man As if you were a mackem you'd be saying 'That's it, we're safe'.

Tsunami Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 We need Arsenal to win tmrw and for Stoke to beat the Mackems as well. That Norwich result is killing us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet you they don't win all three of those games. Probably not, but it's completely plausible that they could. I mean, it's not like in the past couple of seasons they've won like 5 of their last 6 despite no one thinking they would or anything. I'm just in my pessimistic stage right now anyway Just feel we needed more than 2 points from the last two games. Also the way we stuck with McfuckingClaren for so long is still pissing me off. We'd be safe by now man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, you'd think we were in a race with Spurs and Barcelona the way people go on about Norwich and Sunderland. We're playing better than we have all season. It's almost a coin flip at this point. How about some positivity for a change? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Anita and Lascelles had played that game in their current positions, I think we'd have a different outcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 We've just taken 2 really tough points from what will probably have been our toughest 2 games out of the last 5, assuming Leicester tie up the league before we play Spurs. We have every right to feel a bit of positivity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I think people are just expecting them to spawn survival again like they have the last few seasons. Yes, you'd be laughed out of the building for predicting this before it happened (when they were also in the bottom 3 and garbage).. http://i.imgur.com/XMiY1pa.png Writing them off is as stupid as saying they'll win all of their remaining games now.

pedro111 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 The Mackems are one of the luckiest teams in the league. Always have been and that probably will cost us in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I didn't watch the second half at all. Checked the result at the end and was surprised and a bit happy. Then looked at the table and saw the mackems with their games in hand, got totally deflated again. Wish all the hope would have been gone by now.

They've got previous experience and done it before. Not even once. You might be saying that about us this year when all is said and done. We were as good as buried just over a week ago. We could finish the season going W, D, D, W, W, ? and it seemed kind of unthinkable after Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Norwich arent done, they're equally in it. Their manager has kept them in this to an impressive degree. They lost Klose for the last two games, hes a big player for them. Is he still out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Win all our remaining games and we stay up IMO. I cannot see it happening though. The Toon way would be to beat Palace and Spurs at home, but lose heavily to Villa. Rafa's methods and ways are starting to work, but it's too late. He should have been appointed weeks before he actually was. We are down, sadly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Just looked at Palace in the table and it's a shame that we could draw level with them by the end of things yet our pathetic GD is our ultimate undoing with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Defoe is the main reason that I don't think we'll do it. I can see us finishing above Norwich, but Sunderland beating Arsenal at home is exactly the sort of thing that happens, Arsenal are renowned for that sort of loss.
