t00nt00n313 Posted Wednesday at 23:02 Share Posted Wednesday at 23:02 Mad to think that there was a point in the league this season where we only got 7 points from 11 games and now we're third and have won the second most games in the league.

Draw at Villa and win the home games and Villa have to also win all their remaining games to overtake us, due to the goal difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to hate us though. All their staff seem to be genuinely riled up by Tindall and their players seem to have abit of needle when we play. Thankfully we've out done them in the last 3 meetings and I'm hopeful we could do it again. I think if they get too emotional it could cost them. We're going into it confident and if they play it too desperate we could pick them off. Was fearful of it before but looking forward to it now. Free hit for us essentially.

I reckon if we have to beat Everton we'll hammer them. Haven’t seen who everyone else is playing but wouldn’t shock me if it’s enough to get 9 points at le casa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted Wednesday at 23:46 Share Posted Wednesday at 23:46 I’m be earmarked 68 points for awhile now that will be safe. I think we should get that, just win the home games and that’s assured. 71 beats the 4th season. That can also happen. If Arsenal get to the CL final. We’ll get a result there for sure.

alexf Posted Wednesday at 23:49 Share Posted Wednesday at 23:49 It's important that if the worst happened and we did lose to Villa, that it doesn't derail us and we get straight back up and beat Ipswich. But I have way more faith we might do something special away to Villa now. This team is on a mission. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the whole vibe of the club has changed. The 70 something year shackles are off. The beast is in the arena. And the best bunch of dudes we’ve ever had are the ones that did it. I think we’re genuinely unstoppable now. Newcastle (A) is something that strikes fear into players and managers alike. It’s different now, and forever.

cubaricho Posted Thursday at 04:46 Share Posted Thursday at 04:46 Not to be too hyperbolic but I think we have the next dynasty on our hands. Eddie and NUFC are the new SAF and Man U. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted Thursday at 05:05 Share Posted Thursday at 05:05 If we keep the players fit we can easily win all the remaining games, my only worry is that the standard of our play massively dropped when we brought the subs on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted Thursday at 05:18 Share Posted Thursday at 05:18 I think j we can qualify for the CL with the home games to be honest. The Villa game is a tough one but the pressure is off us and all on them which plays into our hands. Amy result is on the table on sat but even if we lose we can get back on track v Ipswich. I’m actually not that worried about Brighton away, they were shocking against Leicester the other day. As someone has also mentioned the Arse might be in CL cotton wool mode by the time we play them.

Displayname Posted Thursday at 05:24 Share Posted Thursday at 05:24 The Villa game comes at a perfect time. We havent had to keep the energy levels up to max for the whole game in the last 3 matches. Villa should have some tired players after playing twice a week for some time now. They have all the pressure on them to go out and attack and are very vulnerable to our counterattacks iirc.

Means as long as we beat Ipswich at the very least, we're no less than 3 points ahead of one of them with only 4 to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted Thursday at 05:41 Share Posted Thursday at 05:41 Think there’s a fair realism that come Chelsea game, we will be 5 clear of 6th at worse now. Where a victory takes them out of it and requires Villa to be flawless in their final 4 games to overtake us. Draw with Villa, beat Ipswich, it’s ours IMO.

Wouldn’t it be 4? 5 points at the minute, we lose, they both win then down to 2 points. Then we win and they draw and it’s back to 4, one loses and it’s 5? Anyhow, i think target should be in mind to beat Villa and Ipswich and then we are effectively home and hosed if Chelsea / Man City drop points in next two games as well edit - just realised city have a point more than Chelsea and Villa.

NEEJ Posted Thursday at 07:19 Share Posted Thursday at 07:19 I was confident of at least 18 points from our last 10 fixtures based on how we've finished each of our seasons with Howe at the helm. Didn't expect to have 12 of those points at this stage, mind. I want 30 points from 10 now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
