TRon Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Doesn't look like Martins, Viduka or Barton are going to be fit in the proper sense of the word by Monday so I rate our chances at only 50/50 now...and that's being generous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 "get Owen out of there because he clearly isn't anywhere near up to it anymore without good service" So it's Owen's fault that our midfield is s****?! Owen is still one of our best "footballers" and if a half chance presents itself on Monday can you give me another player in our squad that you'd want it to fall to? I don't think so! Did I say it was Owen's fault? Owen has managed 1 goal in his last 13 games and doesn't look like scoring anytime soon either. Unless we radically change the system there's no point having him in the side. Viduka is the answer to your question btw, not that anything in your absurdly bad post really warrants a response Well I think it's "absurd" how you contradict your earlier post saying "it's all in Shearer's hands now to be honest" by then stating that you want Owen to be taken out of the team when that's patently not going to happen whilst Shearer's manager and Owen is fit. Your absurdness is then compounded by your assertion that you'd prefer a half chance to fall to Viduka, as opposed to Owen, with our Premiership status on the line.

Guest The Libertine Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 hull have liverpool, boro have arsenal and wigan could/should beat blackburn this weekend. i still maintain if we win this one and the boro match we'll survive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mcdonald36 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Got the feeling that Hull will get a result tomorrow and pull further away. Lets hope Wigan do us a favou. I'd love to see fat head go down instead of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your absurdness is then compounded by your assertion that you'd prefer a half chance to fall to Viduka, as opposed to Owen, with our Premiership status on the line. I think you'll find that most agree that Viduka is a much more clinical finisher than Owen And where's the contradiction? Nobody is forcing Shearer to play Owen at gunpoint. Team selection is completely in his hands and if we continue to play Nolan, Butt and Owen in the same team we're down, no question whatsoever. Either the latter or the first two need to be dropped. With those three in the same team our record is absolutely abysmal, beyond relegation standard and even worse to fucking watch week after week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Albert Square Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 The Sunderland result today is one of the best results of the season for us Im sure all of us came up with our final tables with Sunderland getting 3 points in todays game, the fact that they didnt is crucial, i hope to fuck our players do the right thing and put in a performance on Monday, no doubt Shearer will drill it into them after today.

Taylor Swift Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Boro won't get another point. They've got home games against Man Utd and Villa, and away games against us, West Ham and Arsenal. One point against Villa, maybe, if Villa are done with their season but that's it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Everyone's expecting all 3 of Hull, Sunderland and Boro to only gain 2/3 points each in the last games. Simply isn't going to happen. We won't win all 3 home games though I think we'll win on Monday now. Even West Brom are back in it now though it will be a massive ask for them to get clear. Dunno what it is, but I've still got a bad feeling. Still around a 5 but it will so tight. The Liverpool game could be a killer as well, if we win on Monday then get hammered there it could knock the stuffing out of them, just hope if we're beaten it's only by 1 or 2.

Every season there's always daft results in the last couple of weeks. We have to win three to be safe, anything less will probably be goodnight.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 As people have said, it's hard to predict games at the end of the season. Who honestly expected West Brom to beat Sunderland never mind 3 - 0? Teams still in the Champions League but unlikely to win the Premiership title rest key players. Teams that are safe don't necessarily get the results you expect them to against the teams fighting for their lives. Middlesbrough are a bogey team for a lot of the top 4. The results went well for us today. Let's hope that continues tomorrow too. Monday is where the Newcastle team better make these results matter!

Guest Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Win on Monday and I think we'll definitely stay up, draw will make it tight but at least puts us within one win of the rest so would still be possible, defeat though and it's goodnight from us.

TRon Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I was a bit concerned about Sunderland getting a result against Everton seeing as the Blues are struggling with injuries and are already qualified for Europe, but after watching the Mackems and their hopeless manager I think they're in trouble.
