GeordieT Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Backs to the wall - assuming the title is tied up, we are capable of beating Spurs on the last day. Would rather it didn't come to that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Stoke were awful when we played down there, I just hope they've embarrassed themselves into a performance. On present form, Sunderland's pressing game should see them win. We're down and it's been completely avoidable. It's not like anybody has been in any doubt about what the simple solution was. Charnley should be sacked for keeping that clown for so long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Can only see us staying up winning all three tbh , Spurs could be our west ham of last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Not the end of the world today, that's the exact type of result the mackems would win in this situation. Their game at stoke is huge, if they win then we've had it. 3 wins for us? not impossible, everyone knows we can get nothing less than 6pts from Palace and Villa, and then its a one game final to stay up effectively. Fuck, still wish the mackems got beat today then it would have sort of felt like it was in our own hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 You'd kind of hope villa would rather be in the championship with Sunderland and Norwich as it makes it easier for them to get out. Pardew will bottle it against us and Leicester will have the title wrapped up before the last game of the season (can't believe I'm saying that) we've got a great chance of getting 9pts imo, it's just what the others do.

Scotty66 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Imagine if Spurs needed a win against us to win the League and we needed a draw to stay up. It's 1-1 with 15 minutes left.... I also imagine how it must feel to get a paper cut on your bellend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I could easily see Sunderland doing something like win 1, draw 2 lose 2. They don't win many at all. I know we don't either but we've got the advantage of playing probably the two worst teams in 2016. Four of Sunderland's seven wins came with a goal or an assist from a man now in prison. He got them a draw at Anfield too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Did the predictor thing yet again,this time I was trying to be as optimistic with a sense of realism as I could. Having watch them today, something clear is that they have a strong defence, they aren't gonna lose many and in Defoe they will always have a goal threat. I think they will go the remainder of the season unbeaten, 1 win and 3 draws. That puts them on 37 points. I had Norwich and ourselves on 36, we have to win all three I'm afraid and lets face it that's not going to happen. The win I had for the Mackems was Everton at home, if Everton decide to show up, which is unlikely they may scrape a point from that, I guess, Chelsea could also steal the 3 points, having them only take a point at both Watford and Stoke is optimistic though, looking at the mental state of both those teams right now. This is torture, for the first time in a long time we can see light at the end of the dark long tunnel with Rafa here but that'll be put out if we don't somehow get out of this mess and it'll be back to employing idiots like Pardew, McLaren and Carver and giving them too much time to prove they are inept.

Aye that's how I see the mackems atm, not conceding many and probably not losing another game (maybe one) albeit not winning that many either. It'll be tiiiiiight if we do our part and win the next two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Still a 9. I think we'll finish above Norwich and I fancy us to win the next two. I just don't see us finishing above sunderland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Still a 9. I think we'll finish above Norwich and I fancy us to win the next two. I just don't see us finishing above sunderland. This. Best case scenario I could see us winning the next two but Sunderland have looked solid and played with high intensity for weeks now. I'm also covering old ground here but Everton, Stoke and Watford have completely given up. Can anyone really see them not getting 5 points at least from that?

No point going nine if you think we're not going to finish above them. We need to win all three and I just can't see that happening.

Shearergol Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Given how the season has gone so far, the most "likely" scenario is that neither Norwich, Sunderland or ourselves win another game (hence why we're in the position we're in). However, end of season never really happens like that so it's anyone's guess. I think it's us and Norwich going though, purely based on the fact that it would piss us off the most, and that's usually what happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with the way we have been playing of late. There is every chance of us getting 6 points from the next 3. Possibly more, depending on what Spurs have to play for. I did the predictor thingy and had us going down on goal dif, with sunderland drawing with Watford and Everton, losing to Chelsea and beating Stoke. Saying "I just don't see us finishing above sunderland." Is not me saying, we are 100% not going to finish above them. I just don't think it is very likely. If they win two more games. Then at the very least, we're going to need to beat Spurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Beat Palace 6 nil, Villa 2 nil and Spurs 1 nil, Palace lose their remaining 3 games and we send the buggers down! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
South-Cheshire-Toon Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 There will be countless posts examining the why's and wherefore's of all of the games, so here's another :- Spurs 68 pts 4 games to play City 64 pts 3 games to play - max points - 73 Arse 64 pts 3 games to play - max points - 73 So by my reckoning if Spurs get 2 wins (certain) or 1 wins and 2 draws (have a better goal difference) from :- West Brom - H Cheslea - A Southampton - H Then in theory there should be no reason for them to go at it to us, if we were in the situation of having to Win / Draw to stay up.

Disco Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Was thinking last night if Spurs are out of it only Vorm, Trippier, Erikson, Bentaleb, Mason, Erikson, Lamela, Son & N'Jie won't probably be going to the Euros thereafter. Still get beat like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Someone else said it I think but for some reason I feel it would be better if Spurs have something to play for when we meet them. My fear would be how we approach the game in that scenario, i.e. not turn up ourselves because the players think Spurs will be on the beach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
