Sadly we need a miracle to stay up imo. At the very least the mackems will gather 6 points from their games against teams with nothing to play for. Even this unlikely optimistic scenario requires us to win all our games to stay up, due to our worse GD.

 

Despite the improved results, it's obvious that a lot of our players are not right mentally. We can't handle the pressure of a must-win game. Nevermind 3. I think we have to prepare ourselves for a very disappointing end of the season.

 

Just to complete the depressing post, I predict that we'll lose points against Palace this Saturday. Scene is set for Alan f***ing Pardew to return and complete the job all but mathematically. He has already pretty much killed this club and single-handedly defeated thousands of supporters. Making me and many others cheer the opposition's goals for months ffs.. or was it years?

The twists and turns will test each of the teams psychologically now. I think Norwich have had their turn as favourites, now Sunderland will, ours will come when the time is right, after this weekend. Except we have a confidence team, more so than their organised units. We'll grow from strength to strength whereas they're very much the standard that they're at. The problem is it might be too little too late. Villa away is probably our most difficult game to be honest. Without the 12th man and the comforts of home.

 

We've already beat Spurs this season, they're fucking wank.

They've done OK for being wank.

OK just doesn't cut the turnip.

Last night just proves anything could happen still. A poor team with nothing to play for went and got a point at a team going for the title. It's literally impossible to say who's favourite of the three imo.

It's still a struggle, but things are falling our way, there's no doubt about that. A home game against a team who is in the Cup Final and with nothing play for in the League is perfect. They won't be diving into any risky challenges and will have half a mind elsewhere. Next a team who are already down and playing with zero belief. Then a home game against a team who have nothing to play for, have faced the disappointment of missing out on the title, and where half the players will be conserving themselves for the Euros.

 

We're dependent on other teams' results, but the chance is opening up.

I've got a bad feeling about playing Pardew right now tbh. Don't like the idea at all.

Me too.  The typical soul crushing NUFC way to do it would be to have Pardew basically relegate us by winning at SJP and then have it mathematically confirmed at Villa Park.  With all the banners and stuff.  Again.

The thought of that happening is just disgusting. Even more so that it's entirely possible if not extremely likely. Christ.

[Klaus]

If Villa fans get the banners out again considering the season they have had.

[Guest]

Nah, as long as we try, we should win. Do you think Cabaye & Ledley for example will fancy going in for challenges with Tiote and even Colback with a Cup Final and the Euros coming up?

[Colos Short and Curlies]

I'm going with us winning 3 games in this scenario - including a thumping win on Saturday.

 

If we get the 9 points and stay up, would people prefer Sunderland or Palace to go down with Norwich and Villa?

 

I can see Palace losing the next 4 with the cup final on the horizon which would bring us level on points. a few 2/3 wins wins for us and losses for them could bring the goal differences in line so its not cmopletely outside the realms of possibility that we can catch them.

Fantasyland - I would want Palace down.

[Dr Venkman]

I reckon we'll beat Spurs on the last day if we have to. Especially if the title's gone, which is very likely.

 

Really?

 

What am I missing?

 

Leiecester look to be wobbling, Vardy banned and Spurs absolutely flying, think it's very unlikely they'll be more than 3 points ahead before the final game.

 

They've won 6 and drawn 2 of their last 8. As it stands Vardy is only missing Swansea at home, then they've got Man U away and Everton at home. It'll be won by the end of that game imo.

It's the Villa game for me. Not confident at all If ever there was a game that's got "Newcastle" written all over it it'll be that.  Villa lose to everyone man, they're one of the worst teams to have ever played in the Prem this season.

 

Aye, so they'll fucking beat us (or hold to a draw)

[Ronaldo]

They may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

 

A fucking brilliant episode of Miami Vice started with that song.

[Scoreboard82]

Thing is after our norwich loss I'd resigned myself to us being relegated. It's just the Newcastle way to give us hope only for the rug to be pulled from under us in the last few games. They've just programmed me to expect the worst outcome after all these years .

[nufcjb]

Villa could be this season's Derby for us. We might be the only team that can't beat them. Rafa is the only hope I'm clinging onto.

[Scoreboard82]

Could do with Delli Alli being banned for the rest of the season.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

When will we find out, any idea?

He'll get charged at some point this week, then be able to appeal/request a personal hearing etc.

 

It'll all be resolved before Spurs next play though, as the ban would commence in the next game.

 

EDIT - he's just been charged

[Guest]

Surely Spurs will just accept it, get him back from suspension next season and give him a break until the Euros?

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Depends if they think they can appeal without increasing the ban I suppose. They might chance it.

[Figures 1-0 Football]

Aye, otherwise he'll possibly get another game added onto it which would be the first game of next season.

 

Not sure about the break though - if I was manager I'd be making him come in early every day for being such a twat. If Spurs had won last night, he'd be banned for some huge games.

If anyone wants to cheer themselves up have a scroll through some of the pages here: https://www.villatalk.com/forum/16-villa-talk/

 

It's quite worrying actually, the similarities between some of the posts on there and some posts on here under the Ashley era.

 

Although I do absolutely despise Villa and would have loved us to have been in a situation going there Saturday week to laugh at them - it's just another example of a football club being used and abused by somebody with no interest or knowledge in football.
