[High Five o]

I am still at a 5.

Its very much in our hands.

[STM]

We are hard to beat and our goal difference is very good in comparison to others. We just need to keep doing what we are doing TBH. Draws if need be, combined with a a couple of wins.

 

The only two games I look at and think we might get beat comfortably are Liverpool and Spurs away because they are the only teams close to the attacking ability of City.

 

Really fancy us to get points against Arsenal and Chelsea at home.

[Guest neesy111]

I'm down to a 4 now.

[Varadi]

We're as long as 4/1 with some bookies now - equates to only 20% chance of going down.

 

Think I'll stick to a 3 out of natural pessimism.

totally agree fella, ive never been too fed up with ANY point we get , they are all crucial even in the early days this season i was pissed off when we lost of course but to just hang on and get any sort of point at the end of the season would be massive to look back on.this is the toon, we dont do it easy and we are still in a world of trouble, however we have still chipped in with points v burnley and palace which might keep us up.

Bournemouth (who if we beat we go ahead of) are 40/1

 

We’re not going down, we realistically only need 10 points and we’ll easily achieve that.

Didn't realise that West Brom are 7 points from safety as things stand. If they don't win tonight, they're fucked.

You haven't been in the Pardew thread for a while then - the schadenfreude is strong in there

[Village Idiot]

Back to 6, was at 8 before this weekend.

[HawK]

Wanted to wait until after the Man U game to post here again, I've been 70% chance of us going down at each poll reset. Now I'm a 2. That's the result we needed, and we appear to have got some of the additions we sorely needed. Can't see us fucking this up more than 3 other teams now. Unless Lascelles gets injured, we're safe - hence the 2.

[NG32]

Feeling much better but Ill lower my relegationometer reading when I see how we go about the Bournemouth away game.

[54]

It still amazes me to think that if we beat Bournemouth well only need 9 points from 10 games, given how poor we've been theres a chance we could end up finishing comfortably mid-table.

If it wasn't for that total loss of form where we had an 8 game losing streak we could have been sitting fairly pretty in the league.

[Dr.Spaceman]

I still think 35 points with a decent goal difference will do it.

[HaydnNUFC]

I still think 35 points with a decent goal difference will do it.

We went down in 15/16 with 37. I think that'll be enough to stop up, and that's 3 more wins, or 2 wins and 3 draws from 11 games. Very doable.

 

We'll stay up, like.

I have a feeling a high points total might be needed given all the teams down have started picking up the odd win here and there. West Brom aside obvs.

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

Yesterday’s result ought to be very helpful for the players too. They’ve all been working very hard and yesterday it paid off emphatically. Will have given everyone a lift.

[54]

I've said it before, but I'd rather have this squad then any other of the squads this decade (bar the 5th season squad), quality wise they're by far the worst, but they actually give a shit, give everything on the pitch, and i'd rather that then people like Sissoko and Wijnaldum who go hiding all the time.

[Ketsbaia]

We probably only need another 8 points, with this goal difference. Beat Bournemouth and we're almost there.

[samptime29]

As I said in other thread, Palace are right in this. Next 5 games:

 

Spurs

Man Utd

Chelsea

Huddersfield

Liverpool

 

 

[TRC]

Man U and Chelsea

Just imagine where we would be if Rafa had been allowed a decent keeper and striker at the start of the season.

[Robster]

I'd like to think that the atmosphere would have given them a boost as well. Sounded very good on MOTD

[toon25]

Spurs

Man Utd

Chelsea

Huddersfield

Liverpool

 

Some of those games without Zaha too. They’re almost entirely reliant upon him to get them results so it all bodes well for us.
