The sad thing is even if we go down we'll need a very well thought out overhaul of the squad because this team, funnily enough, would be worse in the championship than the premiership in my opinion.

 

They'll just get pushed around and bullied to all day and will crumble to bits.

 

 

 

Most of the team will leave tbh.

 

Of last night's starting eleven, Harper will stay and possibly Butt.

 

Most of the first team squad will be off though, although inevitably we'll get stuck with one or two due to their wages.

We'll miss Bassong, Enrique and Beye. The rest....meh.

[TêteDeMaure]

Beye and Enrique to follow fat sam at blackburn and push for a european spot.

[Scoreboard82]

I still think we could manage 5 or 7 points from Boro, Fulham, Villa games. Hopefully Hull/ Mackems pick up next to nothing. It's probably wishful thinking on my part. I'm bracing myself for going into the Championship really.

I think there's a lot of people here who are just saying we're down to try and cushion the blow when it happens, or so they can say " I told you so"

It's really pissing me off.  Will you all please shut the hell up.  We're quite obviously not down.  We probably will go down, but we may well not, and you whining bastards don't help.  People are getting accused of being deluded for thinking we have a chance.  Well, you must be pretty deluded and not have watched much football yourself if you think a crap team can't catch another crap team 3 points ahead with 4 games left.  I bet you all wouldn't think we were definitely down if you were Hull fans.

 

And people can't write off the Villa game.  What kind of quitter thinks it's impossible to get a point or more at a decent team with nothing to play for?  Difficult, of course, but it's hardly a non-game.  Same for Liverpool to an extent - it's hardly unheard of for a great team to draw with a crap one.

I think people are coming round to the idea of relegation and dont expect us to survive due to the fact that nufc and its playing staff HAVE BEEN f***ing s*** ALL SEASON.

 

 

[JH]

This side certainly deserves to go down like.

 

Doesn't mean it won't hurt like hell when it becomes mathmatically impossible to stay up.

[cp40]

Im almost certain the last two times we went down, we had 6 wins, and the table looks awfully reminiscent

[Ashley17]

I'm clinging to the fact that Boro will have to come and play for a win, they need points as much as we do. Even then though, we're shite. The Boro game is fucking huge and what's worse is I expect Hull to beat Stoke 2 days before we play, so we'll be 6 points adrift.

agreed about the Hull-Stoke game, stoke are safe and will take their foot off the pedal, hull are huge favourites for that game imo. i think Hull will get 3 or 4 points more than they have now so we need 6 or 7 and atm thta looks like it is asking too much.

[gray]

still dont think we'll go down. although cant see what it matters, we'll not exactly set the league on fire next year if we do stay up.

This is a message to anyone currently in or planning to ever be in Newcastle city centre.

 

If anyone with any form of video recording device approaches you in the street and says anything to you whatsoever, do not respond and walk away immediately.

 

Message ends.

I love this assumption that Hull won't get more than a point from their run-in.

 

They've got two games, one at home, against bottom half teams who are pretty much sfae and will have nothing to play for. Furthermore, their final game is at home to a Man U team who'll likely have the title sown-up and could be three days away from competing in the CL final.

[Dave]

Seriously, why are Sky playing these mongs OVER and OVER and OVER?

The exit poll above tells you the answer unless there is one almighty swing

[LoveItIfWeBeatU]

The facts are Newcastle are NOT relegated yet. Newcastle have 4 games to save themselves (and hope others fail to save themselves). You can give up now if you want but it isn't over yet. West Brom and Fulham have been in worse positions at this point in a season and didn't go down. The situation is dire but we still have a chance.

They have a home game against a team in the cup final who to a man will be terrified of getting injured having seen what happened to Jagielka, 2 away games against teams who will be safe, and a home game against a side who may have 2 finals to come. They'll get the points if they need them.

[Superior Acuña]

Why are people confident Hull can beat Stoke but we can't win?  Pretty baseless, seems like people are deliberately negative about us.

[Guest Spursman88]

Beat Fulham and Boro at home, 6 points, staying up.

I feel all of the other teams can and will put more effort in than our lot. This might be misguided because obviously I see lots more of us than them, but still.

This is all very true. Although our run in on paper looks the best out of the bottom 5, barring perhaps the Villa away game last day of the season, we have no games in which the opposition has nothing to play for. While as the others do. This could have a huge bearing on our fate.

 

I'm trying to stay positive but reality keeps nudging me and tells me that we are fucked and only a miracle can save us now.

West Brom beat them 3:0.  What frame of mind each team will be in when they play them is conjecture, but what is fact is that Sunderland are fucking terrible.  As bad or worse then us and their remaining fixtures make grim reading.  I definitely think they're in at least as bad a position as Hull, if not worse.

Yep I bet Sunderland fans will be thinking just the same of their side after the West Brom game.
