Parky Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The way things are going (I think we'll have a good patch mind) we're looking at 12-15th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Until the side is mathematically safe by gathering enough points, you can never rule relegation out. I haven't voted on this and won't until we reach January.....ask the question again after the window closes.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Nah, no chance. Those last two games 100% represent relegation form; you simply can't come away from those two fixtures with no points - absolutely fucking scandalous. It's the worst it's been since we've been back, but we won't go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Thing is, while we got the players with the ability to do very well, do we also have the players with the right attitude? You can say what you want about them, but I wouldn't want to be in a relegation battle with the likes of Cisse, Ba, Cabaye and so on. They are committed, of course, but I'd have my doubts about them playing games at the end of the season, being in 18th, 19th position, considering all of them (not only those 3) would know they'd get to a good club immediately. Bit like the situation in 08/09 with some players. Won't be happening anyway, we won't be facing a relegation battle this season, no chance imo.

The likes of Cabaye and Ba are exactly who I'd want in my team. They will always graft and fight for you. Same cant be said for Duff, Owen, Martins etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Clearly, we're not getting relegated. But midtable almost feels like it after last season and with the individuals we have. It'd be completely unacceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'm sure JFK had us up to the dizzy heights of 8th at one point after beating Villa nd WBA at home. I don't think this season is the same though, we had a wobble last season and the season before in November and December and came through strong and i think we'll do the same. Besides, we'll have to go some to finish below QPR, Reading, Southampton and Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest malandro Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Quality wise there's no chance we will go down. The only way we'll get sucked into the relegation battle is if the team spirit cracks under pressure. We will have a better idea how Pardew's team respond to real pressure after out next two games.

TaylorJ_01 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 QPR will get a new manager and go on a huge run. Their players are too good to be 20th. Granero and Cesar ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 QPR will get a new manager and go on a huge run. Their players are too good to be 20th. Granero and Cesar ffs. You would have thought the same with us, guess what we went down. There all past there best, and have wasted shed loads on over payed players. Just like we did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 We had no-one near the quality of Hoillet, Cisse, Granero, Cesar and none of them are past their best other than Zamora - and he's still decent. Though they are playing worse than we were Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 We had plenty of decent, PL-standard players when we went down. A bunch of mercenaries that were only here for the money, mixed in with some absolute shite and a crap manager made sure we went down (amongst other things). I think there are parallels with QPR from what we've seen so far. I hope Hughes fucks off after this like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
