The Plot To Escape Relegation Thread - 2016

[PeterWithesShin]

As long as Newcastle lose it's actually not a disaster of a day. If anyone had to win at least it was a side inside the bottom 3 so we're still 'only' 8 from safety rather than 10 or 11.

The Bitters won't drop as Pulis will always jam enough games like today. Destroyed by Everton yet comes away with a 1-0 win despite 24% possession, 1 corner and 5 shots with 1 on target. Everton had 34 shots and 6 on target and 14 corners. All according to the Beeb site.

The early season form has doomed us which is a pity because at this point in time i'd say we are better than albion.

Newcastle 2 down after 9 minutes. We are staying up!

This. From now the only result that matters is one that changes the equation for us negatively in fourth from bottom position.

In truth, earlier today I was thinking something like "thanks a bunch you unch of Manyoo wankers." But the above is quite correct.

I know this is a cliche but we just need to concentrate on our own results. If we win matches then we've done all we can.

Goal difference is coming into play now, we're 2 better than Newcastle now which will be important if we get into their range as they'll lose more games in the run in.

We need 4 points from the next two though.

I don't want to be in this league any more, for decades we have rolled over to the 'sky 4' at home, letting them come and take the piss without getting out of second gear, niw even fucking clubs like Spurs, Everton and Stoke do it to us, we have fuck all to look forward to by being in this division, we get comprehensively thrashed 3 or 4 times a season, our stadium is dead, our away support has shit miserable trips every other week with the locals reguarly taking the piss.
Dropping down a division, employing a twat like Nigel Pearson to shake the place up, signing somebody like Gary fucking Hooper, who 5 or 6 years ago we'd never have even looked at, to bang the goals in, going mad at winning away at Rotherham.... If thats the kind of shit that is going to reignite the spark then so be it because right now I don't want to stay up if it means more of this bollocks.

100% agree with LukeJames

It's like we had a points deduction, we've consistently been 9-10 points behind everyone else. I came to terms with it at Christmas, I'd just like it to be over now. There aren't too many players I'd be sad to see go either.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to mothball this thread?

Let's reopen it as we struggle against relegation to League 1 next season.

Good idea, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Kermit on the board aren't going to come up with a plan that will enable us to bounce right back, the club has been on the slide for over five years now. I can't see the current incumbents arresting our decline and I don't see us bottoming out for a while yet.
