Am I the only one with anxiety about our premier league run in. I just feel whatever good we do in a season we always in the end do things the hard way, never simple. We really need to win at Fulham
I don't think we'll need to but I think we will. Fulham and Villa are both too poor for us not to get a draw at least.
I do know what you mean, we never have it easy and the more pressure on the players the worse it gets, take last year as an example. On the other hand we have a few different players so it could be okay.
We need a point at Fulham. If we avoid defeat, they can't catch us and if Cardiff lose at Sunderland neither can they. If it's a draw, Cardiff would have to beat Newcastle (A) and Chelsea (H) to pass us, while if the beat Sunderland, the Wearsiders would need at least 7pts from 9 to pass us. Norwich need to take 5 points from Man U (A), Chelsea (A) and Arsenal (H) to overtake us. That's if we don't get any more points this season! West Brom still in trouble and Villa still below us and I fancy a point there. Stop panicking - we will be fine.
I hope we get a point or three at Fulham and I think that'll be enough. We're in big trouble if we go down.
I'm quietly confident that we are ok....but a point or three this weekend will make me relax. We are a good team and with 2-3 additions will be better next year. But Steve Bruce has to stay.
A point at Fulham would do it. It would leave Fulham unable to catch us, and Norwich won't get near 37, and the loser of Sunderland v Cardiff will be deep in it (or both if they draw). Things could look much rosier for Sunderland after the weekend if they can win and we can give them a hand.
gordon gopher, what is it with you lot? five more points minimum. nothing to worry about. at least three teams won't reach our current points tally. don't panic.
I do agree with you, the problem is that as the season plods along we see very strange results. Take Chelski for example, who would have believed a month ago that they would lose to Palace & Sun'lan? Also last weekends results didn't really go in our favour too much!
I'm nervy too. Been saying for a long while, there's more twists still to come (as SB famously said). We should be safe, but it's far from certain. Who the heck expected Sunderland to beat Chelsea? If we lose on Saturday and other results go the wrong way, which they could, then it suddenly looks a whole lot different. It's incredible how slim the gap is between success and failure. Even one point on Saturday would be welcome and may well do it. Would be nice to get all 3 then we can for once relax over the final few games (before Wembley of course).
Was relaxed a few weeks ago but must admit that other teams results getting my attention more and more now..Need 110% effort v Fulham then perhaps we really can look forward to the final
You were probably mocked because everything you say comes lathered in a smug, self-serving attitude. 'Ergo' - you talk like a ****.
How it is even remotely negative? It's just what i think will happen. I dont want it to happen. If I say I dont think I'll win the lottery this weekend is that being negative or realistic? If you're accusing me of having a decent grasp of the English language, then I can live with that.
If you had a decent grasp of the English language you'd know "ergo" wasn't an English word, but hey ho.
You just compared avoiding five straight defeats to winning the lottery. And you wonder why you put people's backs up on here?
