The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

[AVH87]

I really can't see Sunderland getting anything at Goodison in the early game, if we then play like we did last weekend we should have too much for West Ham. If these two results go in our favour this weekend I really couldn't care how anyone else gets on.

What are the odds of West Brom "not turning up" against Newcastle?

[UK Redsox]

I'm torn between wanting us safe as soon as possible and wanting everyone to win but Newcastle.  Mainly because of Carvers 'that stuff stays with you' bollocks.

My thoughts exactly. I found myself thinking how funny it would be for Newcastle to go down but then tried to mentally snap out of it considering we're only a few goals ahead of them. To be fair their fans are getting royally shafted, Ashley is a right tw@t and the whole Rangers thing on top of that - Jeez! If I wasn't mistaken I could of sworn I had some empathy twinges of sympathy for their fans and then I remembered how much they hate us and realised it must have just been the prunes I ate.

Newcastle are the only team that I have genuine dislike for.


[EDIT - plus the New York Yankees, of course]

The way things are going for them at the moment, Newcastle would still find a way to lose even if there were no opposition players on the pitch.

Even worse than Villa were by Lambert's last game do you think?

We hadn't lost 8 on the spin, with a manager blaming players for being sent off deliberately. I'd rather have Lambert rather than Carver, that's how bad Carver seems.

Newcastle were 10th when Pardew left, since then their record is

PL17 W2 D3 L12 F14 A33 GD-19

That includes a cup defeat at Leicester in the 3rd round.

Don't forget, as abysmal as Newcastle have been recently, they still managed to beat us.

Carver acts/sounds like I imagine you lot** would if you were in charge of Villa

(**ie dedicated Brummie fans, rather than a southern glory hunter like myself)

and completely unjustified too. If Newcastle played us today they'd be happy walking away losing 3-0 like at the weekend. The ball simply wouldn't go in for us that day. It had nothing to do with that dope Carver and his sense of injustice at their relegation party at VP. They got lucky.

God is punishing them for that transgression.  Cheers Paul!

Mind you Phil Neville provided some good thoughtful analysis on the fight after Arsenal won last night and how its boiling up. To be fair to him, I, and I'll bet quite a few on here and elsewhere, hadn't quite considered this:

"I think Burnley and QPR are going to struggle, but the fight for the last remaining relegation place will go down to the last game."

Excellent. Another gem from Philip alongside  many others. That's why he is where he is and we are where we are! Also the way he delivers it with authority and impressive tone, makes the hair in your nose spike up!

[Lucky Eddie]

Newcastle turned down by Shhhteeeev McLaren who's Derby side have been in similar form to the Geordies.

You couldn't make it up!

genuine insight right there

If this weekend we lose and Necastle and Sunderland win and Leicester and Hull do not lose we are back in the bottom 3😊

I know you're probably only joking, but I actually wake up in the early hours thinking such thought.
