January 3, 200818 yr You think we'll beat Blackburn without Diouf to fall over friedel? In our present plight I'm hard pressed to see a draw. I suspect Newcastle will beat us cuase Allardyce will have been sacked by then and the players will give their party peice to the supporters (i.e look what we can do when he's not here). We've failed to get a point away from home for ages now and we've been very lucky at home, Birmingham self destructed and we made heavy whether of beating the easiest team in the world, Derby. The positive for last night is we beat a Paul Jewel side for the first time in years if not ever. We've a long hard struggle ahead and we need 33 points before mid March to stand a chance of staying up. given that of our last 6 matches four of them are away from home. We need maximum points from all our home games - and no slip ups - to avoid relegation. We need players in and now, whether we sell Anelka or not.

Er...didn't we beat Wigan at their place last Spring, ie the last time we played a Paul Jewell side?

Utter fooking drivel of a post above.
January 3, 200818 yr Er...didn't we beat Wigan at their place last Spring, ie the last time we played a Paul Jewell side? I tried giving him hard facts yesterday, Wiggum. My pee is still blowing in the wind. Still, nice to know we beat the easiest team in the whole wide world last night!
January 3, 200818 yr Are you a fooking wind up? Utter fooking drivel of a post above. I don't think so... to think we will get anything at any away game in our current plight is very optimistic....we couldn't get anything at Sunderland so why Newcastle? I also think for smiley to suggest that we will beat a good blackburn side is optimistic. As stated before every year i do a score / points predictor by the turn of the year i predicted 26 pts and 43 at the end of the season.... we were at the turn 9 worse than that with 17pts.... Our second half of the season isn't attractive at all hard aways at Newcastle 0, Reading 0, Blackburn 0, Utd 0, Wigan 1, Villa 0, Boro 1 and Chelsea 0... and Homes of Blackburn 1, Fulham 3, Porstmouth 1, Liverpool 0, City 0, Arsenal 1, West Ham 3 and Sunderland 3.... I predicted only 17pts from the remainder including last night... I don't think any of the above predictions are unrealistic? 34 will see us down i think!!!
January 3, 200818 yr Author maybe my predictions are based on hope and "we're due a result". Fulham - are poor and however unconvincing, we have beaten Wigan, Birmingham and Derby in recent weeks - all proverbial 6-pointers. Blackburn - yes, we are "due" a home win over them. Our home form isn't that bad. They've been indifferent recently after a great start to the season. Newcastle - again we are "due" a result away from home. We won there last year. We should be able to raise our game against our former manager. A point should not be out of our reach. I haven't predicted any further. But I have a sneaky feeling the bottom 3 teams will go down with record low number of points. I think 35 will be enough this season. 5 more wins. Just 5 more wins. Think positive!
January 3, 200818 yr it's tighter than a gnat's chuff at the bottom derby are gone i think fulham will join them as for that last place it changes every week some of us win, some of lose following week those who lose win and vice versa moved up two places last night still 3 off relegation there's 5 or 6 teams that could still easily drop with the other 2 mentioned as obvious as it seems, it'll be the one who starts to lose more than they win from here on in for me, our next 5 games before madrid are key think it all depends on who comes into the side in jan, as opposed to who leaves
January 3, 200818 yr our superior goal difference could make all the difference, we must remember that after 10 games we had about 7 points and were anchored at the bottom, now 11 games later we have picked up 13 points, and are sitting in the slipstream of spurs and newcastle.
January 3, 200818 yr Author sitting in the slipstream of spurs and newcastle. I like that. A very optimistic post!!!!
January 3, 200818 yr and are sitting in the slipstream of spurs and newcastle. our next 3 Rovers (H) Newcastle (A) Fulham (H) Newcastle's next 3 Man U (A) Us (H) Arsenal (A) hows about it overtake them and get Alladyce sacked by end of this month? as an aside just noticed Fulham at home is a midweeker 15k ?
January 4, 200818 yr I don't think so... 34 will see us down i think!!! He said 'beating the easiest team in the world, Derby'. Fooking nonsense and Blackburn, Liverpool and Newcastle will confirm this. I wouldn't be surprised to see points in the mid 30's keeping teams up this season. 34 might not but 35 or 36 might.
January 4, 200818 yr Hows that work ??? teams A, B & C in the relegation battle win one week, whilst D, E & F lose the following week A, B & C lose whilst D, E & F win makes it very tight

I wouldn't be surprised to see points in the mid 30's keeping teams up this season. 34 might not but 35 or 36 might. Well several posters seem to think that Derby are one step off the Conference and they nearly beat Newcastle away, so I reckon we stand a good chance of getting something there and the Newcastle Chairman asking Mr. Allardyce to come to his office and collect his P45 on Monday morning.
January 5, 200818 yr our superior goal difference could make all the difference, we must remember that after 10 games we had about 7 points and were anchored at the bottom, now 11 games later we have picked up 13 points, and are sitting in the slipstream of spurs and newcastle. We are in our best spell of the season. If you expect us to win every home match until the end of the season, then you're in dream land. We need to pick up points away from home and we haven't shown that we can do that. I come back to the last six matches four of them being away. I'm worried even if the rest of you aren't. At the end of the day there's only three points between us and the bottom. But go ahead lads you live in cloud nine. I though will face reality. Don't get me wrong ~I hope we beat Newcastle. We've only won there once in forty years but hey there's nothing like being optimistic is there?
