Mackems

[scottish_in_the_toon]

What do people reckon to us finishing above the mackems this year?

I think we've got a serious chance, given that we are improving and climbing while they are beginning to slip downwards.

I would love it if we beat them...

Would be hilarious to see the look on Mrs Doubtfires face

 

[AH]

At the minute, a very good chance. As long as we get the right results mind.
Missed out yesterday to go above.

Could do next week, they've got Arsenal and we've got Everton. Loss for them and draw or win for us would put us above.
As long as recent results continue, we've got a very good chance yes.

 

[Heavy Metal Toon]

I don't think we will, now that we missed the chance yesterday.

I think it will be tight, but their last two games are piss easy, and i think they'll get the 6 points to just nick the 7th spot from us.

However, there's always a chance

 

[TOON_LEWIS]

Tash - I know it sounds cliched, but there are no easy games in this league. Shocks happen and if they are on a bad run of form they could well lose them.

 

[AH]

It's gonna be very close, know that much for sure.

 

[Shola's Concrete Boots]

I think we should. Were on better form recently. Plus, I think the unwashed know this too as they have
be really quiet lately.

but their last two games are piss easy

Their last 2 games are against arguably the most dangerous teams possible, ones fighting for safety at the end of the season, fighting for everything they can!

What do people reckon to us finishing above the mackems this year?

Not bothered in the slightest and think it's unlikely. Although I admit it would be hiliarous because of the stick we took about being the underdogs and the 6 easy points thing.

I'd say that's probably a harder fixture list than ours, I'm quite confident we'll finish above them

 

[Spiderman-Mask]

Beating Everton will be a big step next week. It'll be hard though, they're in form

 

[Agent Bruce]

Their last 2 games are against arguably the most dangerous teams possible, ones fighting for safety at the end of the season, fighting for everything they can!

That's what I was thinking too. Teams fighting to avoid relegation. They won't be easy.

 

[DannyGooTree]

I hope so, not because it is the mackems though. I just want to finish as high as possible and if we are ahead of them, we will surely be in the top half.

 

[murray out]

whoever finishes above who, it's better than the two of us battling against relegation, at least we can hold our heads up high if we both finnish top ten

 

[TheLittleGeordie]

If we beat Liverpool then we'll keep them down in the fight aswell

 

[Agent Bruce]

Agree with that murray out, good for the region and always provides one major game in the season.

what has a small town team in yorkshire got to do with it?

 

[MagpieMuzz]

All of their home games are winnable but I don't fancy their chances of picking much up on the road.
As for us, we need to start winning some home games and if we can do that and continue to pick up points away from home it could be pretty close.
