LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Portsmouth are now safe. Sunderland know if they win they are safe. It was in our hands but now we are relying on Portsmouth, Man U and Chelsea (both with Cup finals a few days after the last Premiership game) doing us a massive favour. Even if they do all that we still need at least a point at Aston Villa. Can it happen? We'll see but either way the next 7 days are going to be Hell!

Teasy Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 My opinion on this depends on the Sunderland game today. If Sunderland lose I'll be at 7 as I think a win would then keep us up (both Sunderland and Hull winning on the last day seems very unlikely). As well as the posibility of a draw keeping us up if Hull lose. If Sunderland win or even get a point its a 9. Hull are still the team we're most likely to finish ahead IMO but having that extra chance of finishing above Sunderland would make all the difference.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Portsmouth v Sunderland is on Monday night. I agree that if Sunderland fail to win it gives us a better chance. Who knows if the Newcastle team will be good enough to take the chance if it comes along though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Ah right, depends on Monday night then Who knows, but IMO we've got a better chance against Villa then we had against Fulham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 5 > 9 You've got it the wrong way round. 5 is definitely less than 9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Stil a 9 but very close to a 10 if my predictions all come in. I predicted we'd get a draw against pompy, win v boro and lose v fulham and also said we'd draw v villa!! If we are gonna stay up it'l be on goal difference, looking at the hull manure game tho i fancy a draw in that one too. also think sunderland will get a draw at pompy too which will be enough for them.

Shak Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 8. Think we have a decent chance of getting something at Villa tbh, but Hull have just as good a chance, if not more, of getting something against Man U. Similiar to how I felt about last Saturday tbh, I reckon the most likely outcome is that Hull and ourselves will come away from the games with a loss and a draw between us. Just need to pray it's us that get the result this time. Doubt it, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Feel a little more optimistic this morning after thinking about it so a 7 Man U to beat Hull is still the most likely outcome from that game, which means that a draw at an out of form, nothing to play for Villa will be enough - surely theres a decent realistic chance of that happening Pretty much my thoughts.

BlueStar Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 You'd like to think the enormity of the match on Sunday would have our lot playing out of their skins, but on the previous showing of some of the sackless bastards it's hard to imagine that happening.

mrmojorisin75 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 i'm at 9.99 recurring now - win will be enough i reckon, maybe even a draw, i just don't think we've got enough in us to get either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Like many others my head says "no, we can't stay up" but my heart says "yes". 1 Point could be all that is needed, and it is definitely achievable. But given the performances and passion I've seen from our lot this season I cannot see us showing the same amount of heart as what those in the stands will be showing, thus ending up in defeat. I'm on an 8 now - but we aren't down until we're mathematically down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Trying to work out what would piss me off more, winning and going down anyway or losing when we only would have needed a point to stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordieglory Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Trying to work out what would piss me off more, winning and going down anyway or losing when we only would have needed a point to stay up. Definitely the second, a million times out of a million. If we win and still go down then we've done all we can (albeit too late, but we have to focus on the now), but if we lose when we would have only needed the draw to stay up, well that would be us throwing away ANOTHER opportunity to get safe, and that would be by far the worse outcome.

TRon Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Still on 6. I think Man U will beat Hull so a draw against Villa will be enough. If we show any sort of heart or desire that should be enough to get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
