Tbh I'm having nowt said against Nolan and Barton. We had players with character (particularly these two) and a dressing room scared to not perform.

 

Now we have want away players, mercanaries and players who are simply too inadequate.

10 days into the window and not a sniff of a player through the doors. We've no chance of staying up.

 

Best thing is no one cares. None of the players care, they'll be off to pastures new, in fact for some relegation is great for them as it forces the club in to selling them for cheap. The manager doesn't give a s***, he's just hoping he gets lucky if he keeps doing the same thing. The board don't have any idea what they are doing and the fans are just day trippers, couldn't give a f*** about the club and its direction as long as they've had a nice day out with their mates.

 

This club is nothing apart from a f***ing sad joke.

 

 

 

Spot on. Excellent post.

Our last relegation, one was rubbish, the other spent the time injured and getting himself sent-off pathetically and letting Shearer down.

You are quite right. Although, I do follow this farce with great interests. It is very rare, and I'm not sure I will witness this a lot of times during my lifetime, an business entity doing everything in their power to deliberately fuck up everything.

They did do that but they were also an integral part of our return to the top flight. As Pardewesque as it may be they at least have a f*** and weren't just mercanaries

 

As was Coloccini who was being labelled worse than shit at that time as well, easy on a par with the current squad, yet he went on to have 3 very good seasons. Nothing to say if we went down that they wouldn't step up in the same way.

Big reason why the drop is just about a formality. The 'shop window' games - where we pick up an unexpected point or more as a result - versus the big guns, are the occasions our best players are motivated & perform as a collective

The biggest reason is that there's no one to shake things up and get some fire in the bellies. Sunderland are in the same predicament but Fat Sam isn't going to let it just drift. He'll tell some home truths in the dressing room and insist on using the transfer window to make changes. He's a horrible fat cunt but he's not a placid one.

Points from the last 18 games of the last 3 seasons:

 

2012/13 - 21

2013/14 - 16

2014/15 - 12

 

None of which would be enough to keep us up this year, without even considering the obvious downward trend.

 

Whichever way you look at it we're fucked I reckon.

Erm 2012/13's 21 points would give us 38 points which is enough to stay up 90% of the time.

2 decent players in this week, or we might as well call it a day.  Actually decent players, though.  Remy and Shelvey would be ideal, even if it is only a short term fix. 

 

I would imagine we'll sign this Saivet, carry on being shit, then maybe add 1-2 more right at the end of the window.  As we'll panic after we're still in the bottom three.  Even that is probably wishful thinking, mind.

 

It's at a 9 now.  Sign some players, I'd maybe drop it back down to a 7.

We need 8-10 points from the next 5 just to have a fighting chance.

 

Man U (home)

West Ham (home)

Watford (away)

Everton (away)

West Brom (home)

 

Anything less and we're finished.

I actually fancy us to beat Man U.  Their slow, ball hogging approach and complete lack of goals.  Might actually suit our style of play, if we set up like we did against Liverpool and Spurs.

 

0-3.  Rooney hat trick :lol:

 

West Ham and WBA are 'winnable' home games.  But we've been f***ing those up for a number of years now.

I think the opposite about Man U actually. I think they'll beat us easy because they won't give us the chance to hit them on the counter which seems our game now.

I said it before we played them at the beginning of the season. If we don't attack Man Utd much then we will come away with a point because they won't be able to exploit us when we are going forward, and this is probably the one game of the season where Colo can mop up what they can throw at him.

Could be a million miles off higher or lower but I can see 15 points between now and the end of the Season, meaning we'd finish on 32 and would have been relegated nine of the last ten years.

 

Not to be the perennial sceptic, but I can't see us winning until WBA and bar the odd home point here and there, it aint looking grand.

Yep, I think we somehow need 3 wins from those 5. Just can't see it.

I think 5 or 6 max from those, more likely 3 or 4.

Think even that total is optimistic imo. :weep:

Those are not easy at all, if we get two points I would be amazed.

 

Amazed?!? 2 draws from 5 games and you'd be amazed? Honestly.
