Relegation Watch 2013/4

Cheers Kempy, if I can make it I'll let you know!

 

Well we are clearly third favourites now.I think the Cardiff result has shaken things up a bit more because being on 29 with a better GD than Fulham it is almost as likely that they might be the ones to make the cut.I still feel it's two from six from Villa down to Cardiff.As Ince said on MOTD strange things happen at this end of the season and although we are written off for the last four games it's never that straightforward as the SaintsvCardiff game proves.

More controversially maybe,and this isn't a dig at Adams,I think Hughton may have been better placed to have got a point yesterday.

 

Your away games are write-offs and your home games are against top teams who are still chasing the title/top 4.

At best you might draw two which wont be enough.

Your caretaker manager, as nice as Im sure he is, just looks and talks like a born loser I'm afraid. You should have kept Hughton as I dont think he would have lost that game yesterday.

 

Well that was my argument.I don't think Hughton would have gone for it like Adams did.it's two edged because if the VanW or Snodgrass shots had gone in we would have maybe won it.overall though a 0-0 bore draw like at Palace keeping Fulham 5 points adrift would have been the more sensible option.

 

Well, we can never know what would have happened with Hughton. I could just as easily counter your argument by saying 'What if it was like Wigan away towards the end of last season when we played for 0-0, conceded fairly late in the game, and had no time to come back?'

 

Very true - how many times did Hughton set up for a 0-0 draw, only to see a defensive mistake gift the oppo a goal (cheers, Bass ) and have no strategy to get us back into the match. At least we showed some appetite to try and win yesterday, even if we lacked the guile/craft/(luck?) to break them down.

 

Clearly you know very little about norwich season this year

 

What's it to do with you? Good job there's no points for artistic merit in football because your lot would be ten points adrift at the foot of the table.

 

I dont know lets see....

You haven't taken a single point away against any of the top 9 this season so it seems reasonable to call away games against man utd and chelsea write-offs.

Can you really see much from the games against title chasing liverpool and top 4 chasing arsenal? 2 points would be an outstanding achievement.

Would Hughton have done better at Fulham yesterday? Well he has ground out some decent away results against fellow strugglers this season - stoke, wba, sunderland, palace etc.

He would have approached the game more defensively yesterday and got the draw IMO which would have perhaps crucially kept fulham 5 points behind yourselves.

So there we go. Seems I do know know a bit about Norwich afterall.

 

You're right, Its got nothing to do with us actually. We are well and truly out of it!

 

We'll thank you for coming over with your superior knowledge of NCFC under Hughton. NOT !
So if you know the results for the rest if the season we might as well let the lads have a few extra weeks holiday?
We are so grateful for you taking the time to talk bollox.

 

You're welcome Sir. At least you will probably come back up next season.........NOT!

Ahhh the "Not" jokes. Takes me back to being an 11 year old

 

Nice one
You're a wum, I've seen you in action on the saints board

 

^^^^^^^

Maybe.

I'm right though.

 

As much as it pains me to say it, I can't really see any honest argument against what you've said.

 

How was last years birthday party ?

 

^^^^^^^^
Oooohhhh good one!

I'm outta here. You're too sharp for me boy!

 

The relegation fight is pretty much shaping up as predicted,with that 18th spot still remaining at around -4 in terms of the relationship between games/points.The problem being of course that most people have grave doubts that we can get two points and most people think,for some reason,that Fulham are capable of getting more than four.The fact is that barring some pretty massive scores two points for us and four for them,(or 3 and 5) will see them relegated.

 

18th place now -5 and all eyes on Sunderland v Cardiff today.This is a game with the potential to change the season for all the relegation threatened teams.A draw would leave it

Villa 35
Norwich 32
Cardiff 31
Fulham 31
Sunderland 30

Clearly the best outcome for us....And a Sunderland win

Villa 35
Sunderland 32
Norwich 32
Fulham 31
Cardiff 30 ......And an away win...

Villa 35
Cardiff 33
Norwich 32
Fulham 31
Sunderand 29

Hang on to your hats!!

 

I read somewhere we are the bookies fav to go down, the punters usually get it right
Even if the game at the sol today is a draw ct, I still fear the worst
Damm the fixture computer, it has thrown us an unlucky one
