Stifler Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Aye, can't see his players being particularly desperate to send us down on his behalf. Doubt Kevin Nolan will be that eager to see us drop for a start. Apply the same to Barton when we play QPR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Still reckon Hull will beat Spurs Tbh, Hull could even beat Man U in their last game if they've got nothing to play for. It's the same with Sunderland's fixtures, end of the season usually sees some strange results as teams switch off when there's nothing at stake. It's still in our hands but at this stage I'm pinning my hopes on other teams fucking up rather than us fighting our way to safety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Echoes of when we went down, Man Utd beat Hull at the KC for us and we still fucked it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Man United ressies. Also worth mentioning, like Pulis, playing attacking football away from home isn't allowed for Allardyce, regardless of the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I think Hull are going down now. Now the rot's been stopped (sic) it wouldn't surprise me if we won one of our remaining games, not because we're really good or anything but we're due a win. If we win a game of football then hull need to win twice and they won't do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win a game of football then hull need to win twice and they won't do that. Bruce should be hanged. I don't think their squad is *that* bad, certainly better than Sunderland's at least, and would've been miles better if he hadn't fucked off Benny. And they've somehow been worse than us, which is a crime in itself. If they go down and we stay up, I have a terrible feeling that Ashley would approach Bruce to manage.

brummie Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I'd stop watching football full stop if we ever appointed Allardyce. He's an absolute embarassment. There's no way he'd cruise from job to job, loved by the media, if he wasn't English. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC_Chris Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Worth bearing in mind we could be playing a relegated QPR who will be gone today if they don't beat Man City.

There's no way he'd cruise from job to job, loved by the media, if he wasn't English. I'm sure you said something similar about Sherwood I said Sherwood was a terrible appointment, yes. I thought he was. I just think stuff like long balls for Carroll to knock down to Nolan, all that obstructing the goalkeeper at set pieces, all the horrible cynical gamesmanship and then having to see his grotesque fat yamyam face as he chews gum and does his interviews after the match would drive me nuts.

Guest neesy111 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I'm starting to quite like sherwood. Same. There is a difference in saying that from Sherwood to Allardyce, Sherwood had little under 2/3s of a season so you knew little of what football he would bring to his next club, while with allardyce you know 100% what you will get.

brummie Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I'm starting to quite like sherwood. He has extraordinary self confidence, that much is for sure. I don't really like that in managers, to be honest, but you have to say, he backs it up with results. It'll be a different thing backing it up over a longer period, of course. Also, he gets the piss taken out of his win rate, with it being 50% or whatever it was at Spurs, but since he has been here, we've won 8 of 14 matches in all competitions, which is in excess of 50%. Having observed the facewarpingly shit side we were earlier this season, that's remarkable. In the last three years we have broken every single club record for shitness - most defeats in a season, second most defeats in a season (in our entire history), 11 hours without a goal, 13 goals in half a season, fewest passes, lowest average possession, all that stuff. We were going to do a Derby County style relegation, not just get relegated. The last four or five matches we've played some of the best football I've seen from us in absolutely ages. Smart, fast passing, midfielders bombing forward, getting into scoring positions. Listening to the Guardian podcast this week, they were referring to us against Everton where we "exchanged about 50 passes and just kept the ball for a few minutes". Under Lambert we'd manage 50 passes over about 5 matches. Thus far, this is the most wrong I've ever been about anything in football. The second thing I've been most wrong about is taking the "too late to change manager" line, which I usually tend towards. With us, I seriously reckon it is mostly about confidence. This manager has given us it, the last one sapped it. You need to make the right appointment in the summer. Do so, and I genuinely think you'd improve masssively. You look to me very, very much like you're mentally and physically weighed down by exactly the same sort of doom-from-above that we were. Which of course is what makes it all so frustrating for fans in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 hope that happens tbh. We will fuck it up if we go to the last day of the season especially if we start it in the bottom 3.
