Guest Roy the Irish Magpie Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I will never say a bad word about Swansea City. Love how everyone like me took it for granted that Wigan would win and then they didn't . Result on Sunday, sack Pardew and then we're all good for the future.

LRD Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 If we beat QPR aren't we safe regardless of what else happens? No but if Villa get beaten off Chelsea we are. actually depends on Wigan game vs Arsenal, we beat QPR and Wigan fail to beat Arsenal then we are safe no matter what happens final day We don't even have to care about the Arsenal-Wigan game. If we beat QPR and Villa get beat by Chelsea over the weekend, we are safe as those two cannot both overtake us (they meet on the last matchday). http://i.imgur.com/z5g1D27.png Chelsea in the hunt for CL spot. Win vs QPR on Sunday, we can pretend this cursed season never existed. Edit: Southampton, Norwich, Mackems will be watching Chelsea-Villa with interest as well. By the same reasoning, a Villa loss means Sunderland and Norwich need 2 points (Southampton 1 pt) in the remaining games to be guaranteed safety.

Pata Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Still a 9. I don't have any faith in us/Pardew, and feel uneasy about Wigans game at Arsenal. Having said that, tonight was delightful and such a relief! We need better instructions for next year's PROMOTIONOMETER. The way I see it 9 means that we are 90% certain to go down and if Mistle sees it the same way he is either a lunatic or a massive pessimist. Either way, he should still go to see a bookie tomorrow.

Mattoon Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Still not overly convinced, I know QPR are shocking but Pardew has drained all the belief out of me! I hope we go out and hump them stupid, a good 6 goal swing in our favour, on paper we look like we could. If we did though and we climbed the table into 12th can you imagine Pardews smug face??

AlanSkÃrare Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Imagine us finishing 12th and Pardew being "content with a mid-table finish considering the injury situation we've had to deal with". The revisionist schmuck will never speak of the fact that we were in the relegation zone for a moment with two games to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really care? I'd be doing summersaults too tbf; The higher we end up, the better position we'll be going into next season. He/Ashley/we all know it's been a shit season and, in all likelihood, decisions about his future at the club will already have been made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliassenfredrik Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Was a 9 before the Wigan game, going by the logic that they would win. 5 now I think. Even if we lose our remaining two games, Wigan would have to win one game. They wont win vs Arsenal and their game vs Villa is 50/50. Norwich could lose their final two games. Sunderland will get a point I reckon. And anyway, if we lose to QPR, we deserve to go down. Will be another draw and an ugly escape Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 What happens when goal difference is the same? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 What happens when goal difference is the same? Goals scored. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned champion. If points are equal, the goal difference and then goals scored determine the winner. If still equal, teams are deemed to occupy the same position. If there is a tie for the championship, for relegation, or for qualification to other competitions, a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank.

mikejaxer Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 It's probably just me, but I hope we finish in 17th and not higher. I don't want Pardew, the fans or the board to think this season has gone any better than what it actually has been. Point against QPR with Wigan to lose their remaining games and I'll be content.

Guest icemanblue Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I hope we finish as high as we possibly can. No one will think we've had a good season, we've all been here since August. It's been a shocker and nobody will hide from that fact. However, if we finish ~13th, that means more money, less embarassment, less of a blot on our history, and will make it easier to attract any players in the summer. To want to finish 17th because you don't like the manager is, in my opinion, absolutely bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 What's the highest realistic possible position we can finish in? As close to top 10 would be great. I know it's a little small time but I'd fucking love to finish above the Mackems after that defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I like most non-German and non-masochistic supporters would prefer an anti climax of us not being too near danger come match 38. Just to get rid of Pardew you'd put up with shitting yourself in trepidation of the drop? Fuck that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I can't see it's going to make any difference to our assessment of the season whether we finish just above the bottom or we finish 11th. Any way you look at it, it's been absolutely awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yes, but I would honestly prefer not to brick it on the last day. I am pissed off enough that we are where we are after 36 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I seriously wish I was fed up with this club. Too many good things happening outside it, but this fucking loyalty thing is a real downer. And my weak ass connection to this club...I worshipped Keegan as a kid, so chose Newcastle because of that back in the early 90's. Madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if Wigan were level on points currently, and GD is the same, we would go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
