Gemmill 34503 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Christmas Tree is a big fat wobbly thinks-he's-clever middle aged cock smoker who thinks hes better than you all cos he lives in Boldon. Don't fucking bite so easily to his rancid patter. There's two things at play here - hes on the wind up, AND hes genuinely stupid. Either way you win by ignoring him. I'm drunk and can see this.

The Fish 8993 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 While I don't share CT's blind optimism I don't think we're in trouble of relegation this season. Too many poor teams in the league and we're playing all right and have more players to return. I think as blind as CT is being on one side of the see-saw, there are a fair few nay-sayers on the other who're just as blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38777 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 50/1? If that's for real I'm off to make a bet now.. Oh look, it's 12-1 http://www.paddypower.com/football/uk-foot...11-1858388.html More bollocks from CT The whispering truth drowns out the roar of ignorance.

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I don't think we've looked like going down like. Dropping a last minute goal against Spurs doesn't equal relegation. Never said it did but safe from relegation? If this was the Mackems in our position and coming out with stuff like that we'd be rightly calling them deluded and arrogant. I know but with everyone fit, we've not really looked like a relegation side at all though. I'd be more worried later on if Jose, Carroll, Tiote and Barton are fucked for long periods but we've not looked one of the worst three teams in the league this season. I don't think us saying we'll stay up is arrogant when we've not looked worse than your West Ham and Wigans of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not a gambler) http://www.paddypower.com/football/uk-foot..._grp_ids=111198 Still they consider 9 more teams more likely to go down than us.

No-one is saying it will, but it's still 2 points dropped is all. I only mention this as much as I do myself because I remember how a couple of points would have kept us up when we got relegated. We look comfortable at the moment but there's still only 8 points in it. Thats right, 8 points of Champions League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not blind Fish, but league position and performances dont back up the nay-sayers position. Relegation is extremely, extremely unlikey. This is the same view the bookies take. While we are playing well AND maintaining our league position I will remain positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting a team is all about being bullish about each game and the season in general. Even more so when the performances and league position BACK IT UP. I genuinely feel sorry for fans who cant see this and dont feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we are playing well AND maintaining our league position I will remain positive. I don't want to portray myself as a "nay-sayer" or a pessimist. On the contrary, I reckon we'll stay up, in a comfortable mid-table position. I'm just very aware of how fine the margins can be in this league and I don't want to take anything for granted until it's confirmed. Please tell me what's wrong with the following statement: There are 8 points separating us from the bottom 3. The clubs in the bottom 3 have shown that they are able to pick up points and are certainly not doomed to any particular outcome. If we were to embark on a bad run, the gap would likely be closed. 8 becomes 5, 5 becomes 2. Of course it could go the other way and we end up qualifying for Europe. It's still January, who knows what will happen. Edited January 23, 2011 by Tecato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17795 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Very disappointed, we had that won repeat of mackem game ffs. Ranger really needs to be told to be less greedy in all, not just the miss but also lovenkrands sprints passed him on the break while he's got 2 guys around him and instead of passing he tries to take them both on. Barton had a bit of a poor game by his recent standards in all. Lovencrands had run himself 10 yards off side man. This extreme criticism of a 19 year old kid is bordering on the bizarre. Frustrating today but a draw was a fair result imo. We would have won had we taken our chances but they controlled most the game. We desperately need more creativity and quality upfront. The spine and spirit are there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8993 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Thing is Tecato, the way your post read, it seems like you thought we were fucked. I don't think we're going to be breaking into Europe or anything, but I do think survival is fairly secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovenkrands also wants shooting for not following in when Ranger shot/put the ball across the face of goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I'm making is that by saying "yeah but we still could be relegated is putting an unnecessarily negative spin on the situation. Especially given that we've taken 2pts in games we weren't expecting any from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
