Gazzaschicken Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 We could be above Brighton and Southampton after the next 2-3 games with their fixtures. And there was all that hype about Potter earlier in the season. No sweat, it's looking like there's a lot more than 3 worse teams than us and we gave them all an 11 game head start! 2 to 4 points in the next 3 and the job is done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Home form has been excellent recently. 12 points from Everton, Villa, Brighton, Wolves, with 2 conceded is exactly what we needed at this stage of season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 ...but what if we don't pick up another point all season while Leeds, Everton and Burnley all miraculously find top half form? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Even our remaining fixtures look kind. They mentioned on commentary last night that we've quite a tough run in yet the only games I'm happy to write off is the Liverpool/Man City/Arsenal triple header. Everyone else I believe in the team to get something from if they play like we know they can and it feels so good to be able to say that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hovagod Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) What’s interesting about the Everton stuff is that, really, as somebody without Twitter, I’m largely unaware of this supposed animosity towards us. I like Rafa but I can’t truthfully say I felt wounded on his behalf and honestly I could see why their fans didn’t want him the first place. I have always found them largely inoffensive as a fan base and like Goodson Park. And yet I am desperate for them to go down. Lampard is a cunt but the main reason is just how funny it would be. Basically I am the rest of the country, it’s 2009, they are Newcastle United. I am a massive hypocrite and I simply do not care.

andyc35i Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 If Everton lose today, Burnley have such great motivation to go to Norwich tomorrow and win - they’d be properly fucked if this happens and will have a big struggle to keep their heads above water Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeB Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) Down to a 1 only because it is theoretically not impossible. I wouldn't want to write off any of our remaining games. Loads of unexpected results happen towards the end of the season and even the Steves took a couple of points off Liverpool last season. The best thing about last night's win is no longer just wanting the current bottom three to lose so that it's over and done with as quickly as possible. I'd love the last day of the season against Burnley to end up like Austria/Germany in the 82 World Cup, with Burnley needing a point to stay up and to send Everton down and both teams passing the ball back and forwards over the half way line for 90 minutes.

Fantail Breeze Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 After this weekend Burnley play again before Everton do. With the fragile confidence they already have, not sure how they’d cope with being (theoretically) 5 points adrift in the relegation zone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 My non toon supporting mate was pissing himself last night when I said about relegation. He said from an outside point of view there's no chance of it happening. We're playing well, look well drilled, have a decent squad and a decent manager. On the pitch we don't look nothing like relegation fodder. We push teams high and keep our shape, along with a solid defence and (fret) in attack. Think he's bang on tbh, it's just the bruce/mcclaren/pardew eras that are making us shit ourselves for no reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 8 minutes ago, Robster said: Very good under normal circumstances but given the position we were in, it's outstanding When I was growing up and only really knowing the Bobby years, it was just a given that we would be strong at home. We really didn't lose many at home (between 2002-04 especially, we only lost four times in 38 home games). I grew up assuming that NUFC was seriously fucking difficult to get points off at SJP, which is why it felt like such an affront losing at home to shite in the Souness, Roeder, Allardyce years, until the feeling of a fortress became a distant memory. If we're going to progress then we're going to have to make SJP something like a fortress again, certainly against anyone from 7th downwards. Howe's already making great strides where that is concerned. Just need to keep the momentum built from the takeover happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
