LeazesMag 0 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 This is the cross-roads of our season. 72587[/snapback] cross roads to either a better future, or not much mate. Souness has presided over the worst team, results, and performances in years, just like he did at Liverpool Those who refused to look at his track record, and listened to the double standard shite and obvious agenda he spouted ...

pertoon 0 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 (edited) After spending 30 million we should be able to field a decent squad even allowing for injury. And yet the results this season have proved we are a one man club relying on Michael Owen to get us out of the shit. Now he is out probably for most of the rest of the season and we are well and truly in it. Our only hope is that there are three teams worse than us the Mackems are doomed so probably are Birmingham but the other relegation spot is up for grabs. Doubtless Souness will winge that we are in the situation we are in due to injury. Fact is he has largely WASTED money bringinging in a bunch of tossers who are incapable of beating a non league side. The only decent player we have left is Shearer who is worn out. Somebody please help Edited January 1, 2006 by pertoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Even if we do avoid relegation, there's Jack Fanny-Adams' chance of Owen staying here next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember my prediction last summer just before the signing of the get out of jail card? His goals so far might yet save us, but we're in for a struggle now and I think it'll be touch and go. Today's game with the nappy rippers is massive. On another note, it's nice to see nufc.com filling their site with ideas from here, like. The 'get out of jail card' bit you mention, and today they've even nicked the stuff from Rob W comparing points between this season and last season!!!

It looks more than likely that they are going to beat their previous record of 19 points. Last time this happened, all the points that even the wrost team would normally get were distributed to the surrounding teams, which effectively raised the relegation bar to 42 points, when West Ham were relegated. Can we really get 16 points or more in our remaining games? Probably, but what happens if we go through a crisis, like at the start of the season? With the debt we have taken on relegation would effectively kill this club. It's a worst case scenario maybe, but we would be fools to be complacent and not take the threat seriously. The fact that the mackems might be partly responsible would be the ultimate irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Met a bloke I hadn't seen for a while before the match yesterday who summed it up; get 42 points, sack Souness, rebuild. Although he pointed out that in order to get number 1 we might have to do number 2 first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing the same calculation using the ratio of points from games without Owen Newcastle end up with 37 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps FS will stump up another £17m for another get out of jail card, just like he did in the summer. The day we we sign another striker to replace Owen will be the day you'll be told you were a nob, a wanker or a mackem to even be talking about relegation.
