Would hope they don't, their form has been pretty poor (LLDD), you'd hope they'll be trying to generate some momentum towards the final.

It'll be just our luck for them to put out the bairns to avoid injury for the cup final.

Palace looked really good against Villa in the cup, so I am hopeful they can get something tonight.

Aye Palace beating Forest would be very welcome. Means they can win all their remaining games after that, and still be behind us on GD if we get 6 points.

I said this in another thread, but if Palace beat Forest tonight, we would only need 6pts from our last 3 games to guarantee a CL finish.

If there’s 10 games left (for example) they are probably more useful from a prediction pov. Because I think the run the possible results through a simulator 1000s of times. Then you get the most likely outcome based on that. Not saying that’s foolproof of course. But when you come down to the wire they obviously veer wildly because a single result changes so much (or can) due to the lack of remaining games. You can also just look at the table now and see exactly what you need to do in about 5 seconds.

This is why I said it's the Chelsea game that's must win. A point yesterday was unexpected from me and most welcome, it wasn't the crucial fixture though. Will be a stressful match.

Don't blame him tbh. Won everything there is to win with Liverpool. And is now being offered mega bucks to live in Madrid near his best mate and challenge for more trophies.

Tdansmith started chatting daft stuff that he was reading on twitter and then misunderstood me advising him to leave twitter as me advising him to leave here, and promptly left. Hasn't posted since. Read all about it here:

Those opta percentages made me laugh but at those giving them much credence, they veer dramatically after every week so by nature are going to change by results so I'd love to see our percentage chance pre villa to now? Not saying we won't do it but some of the crack you heard from some people, particularly from some of the pundits, that had us already qualified was fucking bizarre, again, especially from pundits who rarely mention us and normally have half our squad sold off. It was never going to be as cut and dried as they made out.

You were blatantly sucking lads off for ticket money. I can read between the lines.

If we don't win this it's over. In my opinion there's no reason we can't, even though our form has been a little off we were still comfortably better than Brighton and this game we'll be at home. Hopefully the fans are well up for it. The positive is Chelsea are a "traditional big team", and our players seem to turn up for that sort of shit. Should also help us against Arsenal.

No negative fucking thoughts allowed on here Eddie will have them fired up for this, tight 2-1 win winning goal deflected off Big Dans cock🤣

aye.

Any minute now…

you had to be there. you were probably out jogging....

I'd also chuck in @Howay. Miss his mackem rants and unusually, his macron/Palace ones.

No doubt brown envelopes to refs and VAR people along with other conspiracy theories as to why it was given ignoring the blatant hand ball

I was too young for the 83-84 season, my dad took me to the first home game which I loved even though we managed to get beat and that was my first and last glimpse of KK in a NUFC shirt for a proper match. I'd have loved to have went to the aways but it was about five years after that season I went to my first. A completely different environment to what there is now and that's not always a bad thing but I'm just glad I got to see football raw and uncut for a few years anyway. Obviously there's rose tinted glasses a la gemmill which I wouldn't deny but I read someone saying not too long ago that the SJP clientele is more Jesmond than Walker, more Darras Hall than Cowgate and whilst that's an exaggerated point it's not that exaggerated.

Dirty bastard

Think your father in law has been rubbing off on you

Looking forward to us winning the Premier League, only to be told it wasn't as good as being in the second division.
