Wullie Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 30 games played, 6 games won. Wow. The stat says it all. I'm up from a 5 to a 7. We still have a chance because of those three home games but there's a real possibility that even 37 or 38 points won't be enough. and with our record this season it's unlikely we'll get 100% from all the games we expect to pick up points in. just takes one decent defensive display from a team like fulham, or a flukey counter attack from boro, and we're virtually relegated. taking this into account we have to pick up some unexpected points along the way, starting against chelsea. saying things like "well we didn't expect to get points here so why is everyone upset?" as a couple did after the arsenal game just isnt good enough any more. Yep. The only reason Boro are still in touching distance is because they very recently beat a Liverpool side who are currently unstoppable. We can't afford to write any fixtures off and not getting anything from Man Utd and Arsenal after two decent showings is gutting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that stage we will be more than 3 pts adrift of safety, so even if we win, we stay in the bottom 3,..thats why i think we are going down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darth Toon Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 We've only won 6 games? Jesus, that's shocking. In all their glory: - Newcastle Vs Bolton Wanderers 1 - 0 Newcastle Vs West Brom 2 - 1 Newcastle Vs Aston Villa 2 - 0 Portsmouth Vs Newcastle 0 - 3 Newcastle Vs Tottenham 2 - 1 West Brom Vs Newcastle 1 - 3 Holy shit that's scary. Since Keegan left we've only actually beaten 4 teams! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 if we go down its the amount got games we drew at home where we shud easily have won. im thinking of the 2-2 against city last minute goal, stoke last minute goal 2-2, wigan last minute goal was that 2-2 aswell? everton 0-0(f*ckin nolan!) and many more its cost us big time if we had just hung on in a few of those games we would be nowhere near the bottom 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fat moron with no understanding of good finance followed by a fat moron with no understanding of football - fucking incredible. That is going to be my last word on the subject (if I can help it). I'm sick of sitting around at work and worrying about relegation, I can only imagine what its like for you lads in the area. I'm hoping for a miracle, but you don't dig a ditch this deep and expect to get out at the last minute. I can only hope that the list of men responsible for killing this club (players, managers and owners - all plural) suffer the same fortunes in their careers that they have forced upon NUFC.

Offshore Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Us, Sunderland and Hull. Hull are lucky or unlucky in picking up most of their points early on, they are in free-fall now. Sunderland have a run-in comparable with us and are playing shite, while we did lose, we at least showed that we 'could' play a bit. However, If we don't win our home games against Fulham/Pompey/Boro then its us - unless one of the others doesn't win a game again this season.

Slugsy Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 We don't play well enough against the supposed sh*t teams and aren't good enough to beat the good teams (even when we raise our game) - I'm on 9, bordering on 10 - mixture of players not raising their game/being rubbish and managerial incompetence of the highest level.
