penguin Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 This the first season in a while I am genuinely looking forward to next year, can't remember us playing such positive football on the front foot that I've seen. Hence why I'd be extra gutted if we dropped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I'd be extra gutted if we dropped! Were you not one of the lot saying the season we signed bacuna et al, was the season they'd looked forward to since 1982 Not saying you were btw, just that there were some. I always look forward to the next season, but I'd say that within 8/9 games, I'm always thinking, 'ah man, a year of this shite again'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Newcastle win at weekend for sure if Huth is out for a while. Without him i dont think Lecister have a chance in hell. Edited April 29, 2015 by HeyAnty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 We stay up and we won't be in this position next year. Sherwood is better than mcleish and Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Don't lose Saturday and I think we're safe. We'll do West Ham who are on the beach and you don't need to be twitching arry to know fat Sam is off end of.the season so the players ain't bothering (can see the candle wax faced crook there in the summer. Him n the pornos match made in freak heaven), we always get something from Southampton, Burnley I think is our toughest game. Even if they are gone like all relegated teams they'll play with freedom. But I think we will be safe by then. Players will all want to fight for a cup final place, and we actually play good football now so I think we will (just) be fine.

theboyangel Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I currently have the bottom three as Sunderland 33pts QPR 30pts Burnley 28pts https://www.thesportspredictor.com/#/predictor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercourse_The_Penguin Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Even if we lose this weekend, if Sunderland also lose to Southampton, I think another point might end up being just enough, leaving the Mackems with 33 as theboyangel predicts, but probably with worse goal difference than us given their horror away games still to come and starting off one goal worse than us. That would be too nervy, though, and if Sunderland somehow defy form and go on a good run (or even if they just beat Southampton this weekend) it could get really ugly. Gonna be a bag of nerves this weekend... Edited April 30, 2015 by Intercourse_The_Penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I feel confident having done that predictor...... I've been incredibly pessimistic with our results and optimistic with the teams around us and we still stayed up. Albeit by 1 goal....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I think a win on saturday would be a massive boost - It would give us a bit of breathing space and a margin for error - I fear going into the latter games on a knife edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted April 30, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2015 Perason lost it in the post match presser last night, I don;t know why but clearly he's a bit unhinged. Hopefully that rubs off on the team who will also be knackered on Saturday. It does feel like a premier league story where they've been on an incredible run only to fall at the last hurdle - so can see Leicester now feeling the pace and faltering a bit more.

It does feel like a premier league story where they've been on an incredible run only to fall at the last hurdle - so can see Leicester now feeling the pace and faltering a bit more. He's done that before to be fair. Something he's kind of known for. He does come across in a number of pressers as unhinged and bizarrely aggressive. I seem to recall him snapping and carping at a journalist not long before their good run, actually, so not sure we can read too much into it in terms of its signs of impact on him or the team.

Folski Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Thing with Leicester is they now have something to lose, they were gone a few weeks ago, have gone on a great run and find themselves outside the bottom 3, probably for the first time since they either beat us or United. You'd wonder does their mind set change and they end up thinking a point here might not be the worst result, rather than going all out for a win, personally I think that's a horrible attitude and sees teams not managed by Jose beaten more often than they get the draw. 4 points minimum from the next 2 games for me, I think if we get that we'll be fine, with Burnley still at home, and Southampton who we have a decent record against since they came up.

Intercourse_The_Penguin Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Given the respective run-ins I'm pretty much assuming that Leicester will finish above Sunderland, so my focus for reassuring myself of our survival is on the Mackems, who are dreadful and have a horrible run. Lose to Southampton on Saturday and their goose could be as good as cooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwegianvillain Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I have us safe at 38 points relegated teams: Sunderland 36p Burnley 31p QPR 30p lets hope it works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Completely in our own hands now - no excuses. Minimum of a draw this weekend, and with Leicester - Newcastle the early kick off which shouldn't do Leicester any favours hope Newcastle can sneak a win.

Jareth Posted April 30, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yep - it is that time of year when every game of those below us is watched as though watching villa - every point difference betwen them and us matters. In a sick way I shall miss the excitement, should we fare better next year - in the prem - I won't miss the stress though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 It's absolutely crucial that Burnley are already down by the last game. That gives us a nice bit of insurance if the next 2 home games don't go to plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Newcastle will be fine in my opinion. im not sure, they really are atrocious. I know some Newcastle fans who think they cant get another point for rest of season and have said this since January window closed If they do stay up I would fear for Derby points record if Carver still in charge next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
