Relegation?

[not3bad]

Yeah, they had beaten us at Villa Park 2-0 under McLiesh.

Hull are just as poor as us.

Hull aren't as poor as us at the moment, no team in the league is.

My brother in law has spent most of the last few weeks pointing out how shit they are. If you look at the table, it indicates there isn't too much difference between their shitness and ours.

I appreciate no game is easy, but I think we can get carried away with ourselves and start talking all other sides up when, clearly, they're shit as well.

I don't doubt they're poor, as highlighted by going 2-0 down to Fulham but they showed fight and got a draw out of that game. I can't imagine us fighting back like that in our current malaise.

There was an interview with one of them who reckoned Hull were safe after the draw on Saturday, so between that and the upcoming cup final they might not have the same urgency on Saturday.

I'd be a lot more optimistic if Fulham were playing a team with something to play for.

Stoke haven't really had much to play for for a while now, but their form has still been good.

Last 10 games overall:
W5 D2 L3

At home:
W4 D0 L1 (lost to Spurs)

Away:
W1 D2 L2 (lost to Chelsea and Man City)

I'm a lot more optimistic about Fulham not winning than I am about us getting a result.

[Dave]

I actually had a dream last night that we beat Man City, so fingers crossed.

On Football Weekly, they raised that as a possibility. In a season with so many unexpected results, they suggested that us winning away to Man City would be the ultimate one to finish the season off.

Newcastle are and for all Hull's organisation they're only two points better off.

[Monty]

Indeed. If we were in Hull's position we'd still be calling for Lambert to be sacked.

That would be stretching it a bit too far - surely we used all our luck up against them when we beat them at Villa Park?

Newcastle are

They're the one team that are anywhere near as shambolic as we are currently.

If I was a neutral, I'd be putting some money on both us and NUFC going down next season.

Let's hope they put nothing into the game at all, because at the moment a team would need to be really powderpuff to get beat by us.

[Chris Jameson]

After the cup final?

[Monty]

After the cup final?

I meant in the league, but that is a point. If we were in Hull's position exactly (including their remaining fixtures instead of ours) I suppose it could be argued progress had been made. If we just had their number of points but our remaining fixtures (ie not likely to get another point) and no Cup Final then we'd be wanting him gone still.

[Jon Crofts]

Indeed. If we were in Hull's position we'd still be calling for Lambert to be sacked.

After the cup final?

This is our cup final according to Lambert, god help us, like he'd know how to manage a team in a cup final.

[CheeriOneill]

Relegated? No

Worst team in league? Probably

If in any doubt between us or Newcastle, imagine if we were playing them this week (home or away) I know who my money would be on 

[PaulWinch again]

I think in terms of sustained poor form we're right up there, we've taken 16 points from our last 20 games which is bloody atrocious.

[Ads]

Before the last 6 games though it was 15 points from 14 games, which was about standard for where we were. The wheels have really fallen off of late, with no real indication as to why now.

[PaulWinch again]

Well Baker has really become disasterous of late and losing Benteke has eliminated any threat at the other end of the pitch. Those aren't the only reasons, but they're big contributions.

[pauliewalnuts]

Standard for where we are, but that's only point a game, so still pretty shit, really.
