Been looking at results combos this morning, and looking at different scenarios. Assumptions as follows: Everyone takes maximum points from their remaining games, except for when they play one another When they do play one another, we consider both maximum points returns (i.e. Forest beat Chelsea vs Chelsea beat Forest) Villa (+6) and Forest (+14) will not catch Newcastle (+21) and Chelsea (+21) on GD Taking the above assumptions, then: If we get 7 points from our remaining three games, regardless of how those points are earned and regardless of results combinations in the other games, then we absolutely cannot be beaten to a CL place. If we get 6 points from our remaining three games, there is only one scenario (we lose to Chelsea, and Forest beat Chelsea) where we would be at risk of not making it to a CL place. In that one scenario, we've still got a chance but we would need to be ahead of Chelsea on GD. Summary table showing final point positions for each scenarios as follows: Shout if you see anything that I've done wrong.

Don't think PaddockLad wants it tbh.

We could do with Palace beating Forest tonight. That would give us a 3pt buffer with a superior GD over Forest/Villa. Effectively giving us a loss in the bank with 3 games to go.

All this nostalgia proves is that you’re all canny old tbh. I remember the keegan days, but was only 10 when he chucked in the towel, and we got lumbered with the dour Scottish cunt who ruined us. Sir Bobby was in during my formative years and I’d probably say I preferred those times over Keegan purely because I was old enough then to appreciate it. All that before another dour Scottish cunt came in and ruined us again. None of it tops this season though, because you simply can’t compare nearly winning stuff with actually winning something IMO. I’m saying all of this to say once Eddie wraps in be prepared for Moyes ball because we always replace our favourites with a dour Scottish cunt.

sure the percy's open at 10am too or so someone said before the Ipswich game.... fucking better be!

opening times for anyone who is interested. Not sure I have a 7am starts in me

I’m up in the gods but sitting with two mates instead of on my own for once!

Never heard of it tbh 😂

I take it you aren’t familiar with the original Hulk Smash gif?

Football is about how it makes you feel though. I shed tears of joy when we won the league cup. That never happened when we qualified for the champions league or finished second or third under Keegan. You could argue we were better then over a league season and there were amazing memories and moments but I don’t recall one that made me feel how I did after seeing us finally lift a cup.

Great post TBD, but it has to be said:

pleased you've found a ticket mate. a draw in this one lets villa right back in it and us very likely needing something at arsenal. man utd and tottenham are about as likely to provide villa any opposition as the bindippers did chelsea yesterday, we desperately need bournemouth to do us a favour on the saturday or chelsea is a must win. well fucked off with the kick off time, thinking of a 4.30am set off, pleased it's not my turn to drive, hoping to be in the casino by 9am for a couple before heading to the percy when it opens at 10.... my unofficial no drinking till 1pm (ish) rule goes well and truly out the window for this one!

He turns back into Banner, seduces her and mid shag re-hulks his cock splattering her to bloody atoms.

A draw here would be agony for the run in but brilliant for the neutrals and broadcasters. But we will win this and beat Everton. The Forest v Chelsea game will be the shoot out for 5th, with us in 4th. Also, I’m going to this one and am on an hot streak of wins, looking to make it a four match heater.

We are the Hulk. Chelski are Black Widow. You know what’s next.

Great post @thebrokendoll. i also think the wave of europhia when KK was manager tops it. The first and probably last time I cried at match was the 7-1 Leicester festival game when the entire crowd were singing the Andy Cole song (even East Stand). That was when I was around 12-13 and had been watching football since 5. All id known was us being shit but i still loved it when we had Kevin Dillon and Billy Askew patrolling the midfield. I probably didn’t even understand the tactical side at that point (first full season ticket was 88-89) but I loved the smell of bovril and fags and atmosphere was intoxicating. My Dad passed about over 10 years ago and we’d always go together. I associate going to the match with him and I hope my lads grow up the same. I wished he was around to see the cup win.

I think we'll be back on it for this match. Away to Brighton is a bogey game for us for some reason. 3-0 against a Chelsea team who have been close to a bottom half team since their string of good results was broken early in the season. Isak two and Murphy. I only want to see one change with Miley in for Willock. Willock has been crap.

To be fair to the Orange Lunatic, for once he’s talking about something he knows about- an island full of serious criminals.

You wouldn't put it past the orange loon to catch this film while flicking around the channels and think it would be a good idea to open it up again

with both ct and hmhm here. the promotion season with keegan the manager after so nearly going down to the 3rd division was fucking immense, we went top of the table in september and then stopped there. as if that wasn't enough we were introduced to a young lad away at swindon town in late march, andy cole who'd go on to notch 12 goals including 2 hat tricks in the last 10 games, fucking unstoppable. not gonna dwell too long on the following season, just enough to say that finishing 3rd in the top division was the stuff of fucking fantasy for anybody who'd supported nufc throughout the 70s/80s (and earlier for those older), it would provide for us the following year the opportunity to see us play in europe for the 1st time (for me) but also we played football which at times was sublime, the best football I've ever seen newcastle play in my life, NOWT has come close, I doubt it ever will. I love isak, but andy fucking cole man.... for fucks sake! I was lucky enough to have a good chat with keegan in 2018 and thank him for the memories he'd provided, he asked ne which was the best.... the promotion season in 83/84 was unbeatable for me. I'd seen my teenage home in the leazes pulled down in '78, we were shit, really shit. I cut my teeth as a regular away supporter under mcgarry as a mid/late teen in the 2nd division, with cox, varadi, waddle it improved a bit, and again the next year after the initial euphoria of keegan signing, but 83/84 man... our ground was a shit tip, every fucker was on the dole, hooliganism was an adrenaline pumping head fuck, the miners strike had started, the north/south divide felt like a chasm. I plodged in ponds on golf courses looking for balls to sell, I did cash in hand fiddle jobs as a builder's labourer, I tarmaced the roads at feathers caravan park in whitley bay, I scraped the money together to see us at every away game that season amongst the biggest away support you could ever witness, we took over cities, towns and football grounds in our thousands and thousands in a way which can never be replicated, we were a proper army. I was 21 year old, invincible, devilishly handsome and despite all the shit we were going through as a region I've never been so proud to be a geordie in my life.

Maybe let the lads down the front know to have, erm like a few more attempts at the goal rather than fanny farting on, and when they do to aim at the actual fucking goal.

Trump must have sniffed some extra strong glue over night: 1) 100% tariffs on non US movies stating its “a threat to national security”. 2) Ordered the reopening of Alcatraz for violent criminals. 😂

Hopefully Eddie has a cunning plan for these and Arsenal.

This is our second cup final.
