Yorkie Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 1. We'll be about 13th or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Still 2. Crystal Palace, Sunderland & Cardiff for starters won't finish within 5 points of us imo. I think you're right, the 3 relegation places look as if they're taken already. Norwich, Stoke and Fulham are more likely than we are to scrape around at the bottom. But only one team who finished below us last season is still in the league? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I did vote for FML but it doesn't mean I think we'll get relegated, I think we'll flirt with it and we'll scrape through by the skin of our teeth again, unless something changes. It's going to be a long laborious season with more downs than ups. We'll never boss a game with this charlatan in charge and even our wins will be painful, as we saw yesterday. Could have easily bossed that game but were rattled, scared and disjointed for most of the second half. I can see us getting dry humped over the next few matches and slip down the table.

Ashley17 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Fairly confident we'll be fine so I'll say a 3. Raise that to a 6 if anything long term happens to Remy (such as prison or injury) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 An away win and everyones brains get scrambled. Get thrashed at home off liverpool and people will be self harming again. One injury away from being bankrupt on ideas up front Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 An away win and everyones brains get scrambled. Get thrashed at home off liverpool and people will be self harming again. One injury away from being bankrupt on ideas up front Got to agree with this, however it seems palace and Sunderland are doing their level best to take 19th & 20th while over a season I think we will be better than at least one more team. If Sunderland and palace are cut from the rest I think it'll be a safe but rather forgettable season for us. If one or both pick up (mackems being most likely) then it'll put pressure on the several team expected to be around there at the end. Again it'll be several clubs going in to the last couple of games for that last spot. Fulham, Cardiff, Norwich, think hull will fall away, stoke are iffy as well, wham if they can't get Carroll back on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 We need to beat someone credible I think before many may relax and start feeling positive again. The fact every time we seem to come up against anyone from the usual top 8 or so we (Pardew) shit ourselves and end up beating ourselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 We've pretty much won as many as we've lost since the new signing in January. Over a season that will get you at least safe mid-table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem isn't what we do against the better teams, it's the type of shite we served up against West Ham and Hull. I would like to see us try against better teams but losing isn't the end of the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, beat the lesser teams and you stay up, then get some decent results against the better ones and you finish in the top 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Think we'll finish somewhere between 9th and 14th, which was only a 5 point spread last season. Whether it'll be a relegation-threatened struggle or relatively comfortable depends on whether we fail into a sustained run of defeats or not. If we do, things could go awry very quickly with Kinnear looming etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Still sitting at a 5. Consistently inconsistent is the best I think we may/will get. May be enough to save us from a scrap at the bottom, may not. Whole league seems 'unsettled' at the moment and despite recent positive results and a couple of decent halves I ain't wholly convinced by our lot.... oh and we still have an idiot managing us. I expect the mackems to pick up under Poyet. Barring the utter shite Palace/Fulham I still think any one of another 5 sides may be sniffing around the arse end of the league.
