Rayvin 4964 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Burnley have Spurs at home midweek which could go either way given Spurs atm. Watford have Palace which I also can't predict. But both of those results could go our way, followed by further losses at the weekend with Watford away to Man U, and Burnley away to Palace. If Palace fuck up both of those games, they're going to be up to their eyes in it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying half the league is going down man, I'm just saying that if Watford and Burnley keep a bit of pressure on, everyone up to and including Villa is in the mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you'll be right, but it was worth the punt when it was put in front of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I obviously had premature dryness last week as it’s still 50/50 for me. Woke up still feeling gutted we didn’t get all 3 points yesterday. They were there for the taking and we were just so unlucky where the ball kept bouncing in the box. Got to pray ASM recovers for Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re about the same odds to go down as Brentford now, you can get 9/2, which is considerably longer odds than the Evens you perceive it as. That’s not meant as a dig because Im guilty of it too at times and we are by no means home and hosed but we’re doing really well both in terms of results and performances. If we maintain anything like the form of the last 6 games then we’ll be fine and probably more like 12th or 13th come the season end. The best thing for me is we actually look solid at the back and in control for most of the time. That’s down to the middle of the park as much as the new defenders.

Alex has been very polite, but honestly I feel like driving to Boldon, dragging you out on to the front lawn and humiliating you in front of your wife, kids and neighbours. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34503 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Leeds off to Liverpool in the week then at home to Spurs at the weekend. We could feasibly go above them on GD with just a draw at Brentford next weekend. AND we'd have a game in hand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s in our own hands and we have the feeling of being competitive against just about anyone in the league. Rewind a bit and yesterday would’ve been a write off.

Especially after going a goal down Agreed, also agree with your earlier point that as fans of the club we can miss the bigger picture. If positions between us and Burnley were reversed most fans would be 100% convinced we were buried, they’re playing crap and their two games in hand are Spurs and Leicester and they’d need to win both, meanwhile we have points on the board, are picking up points every week and have looked the better side in our games for about 5 straight games now. The other thing is their “winnable” fixtures are against sides that are also not clear of it. Imo we will finish above Everton (who have a shit manager and look woeful), Brentford, and Leeds, in addition to the current bottom three. I get fears that Watford are only 4 points behind, but 4 points is almost a quarter of all the points they’ve picked up so far, similar with Burnleys 5 points. We also play a lot of the sides who were looking like difficult fixtures in the past but are in rotten form (Palace and Brighton etc). Obviously there’s a chance we go down but the way we are playing, and the way everyone else in the bottom half is playing, I just don’t see it anymore. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2427 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 High praise! NUFC — adequate. Shows the depths of despair we’ve come from recently (and hopefully stay away from in the future) that the mere emergence of competence is something for us to rightly celebrate.

I think with a full strength team this is a top half of the table side already. Foundations are set for us to evolve into something better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
