    Still don't know. The players can keep us up. Sam could take us down. That's where I am.

    Harsh, Bri?

    We defo need to beat Norwich. We're not going to get past Palace at this stage so it's win at Carrow Road or trapdoor time...

    He's abusing across threads without me even saying anything. So I'm now defending myself by taking the offensive with a wanabe internet bully. <ok>

    Alreet. That said, while I've always found Bart to be a bit of a law unto himself, he never struck me as that...?

    He did it to Gordon before me. He's developing form and causing a lot of **** in the process.

    So are we thinking Palace beating Norwich is best for us? That would pretty much see them safe and would crank up the pressure on Norwich for when we arrive.

    Squeaky bum time for sure

    Is it too much to ask for the game to be postponed while thing become a bit clearer?:p Don't know what result tbh. Part of me thinks Palace are easier to catch than Norwich. But they're both a couple of wins from being safe now. Draw maybe? It would mean we have to beat Leicester. You know we'll be playing for a draw. Hate that our status depends on Sam hoping we can nick one in every game. It's no plan imo.

    Would go for the Palace win...imo. Just need to focus on getting above Norwich. Anybody else comes into the picture is just a bonus. Straight fight between us and Norwich. Got them to play, game in hand and better goal average. Playing good and have a manager who has been down this road many times before. We are still in this big time and can control our destiny. Huge difference in us since January window. Whatever people say about Big Sam he more than most has given us this opportunity with them dealings. He shipped out a lot of dross and brought in quality....yes...we could have had a better cutting edge than N'Doye but his hands were tied. Can't wait for all these games coming up....haway the lads!!!

    Think that's a bit harsh. I'm not Sam's biggest fan but he clearly told the lads to go for it at half time vs. West Brom.

    That said, negative tactics against the likes of Bournemouth earlier in the season could come back to haunt us.

    Fair does but for 60 minutes it looked like two teams playing for a draw. That's 60 minutes we can't afford to throw away in a relegation battle. You could see when Foster was time wasting with his first goal kick in the first 10 minutes what the crack was. He didn't change anything. the team sheet told me we were going for a draw and hoping to nick one, the time it took to make the changes told me we stuck to that plan for at least the first half. We are on course to go down. We can't be throwing half of games down the drain.

    Trying to get your head around predicting 7 games when the season he been like it has... It's impossible, nothing would surprise me now. Leicester were 7 points adrift at this stage last season.

    It looks grim as fook for both NE teams but that could still change yet.

    This is our best squad of players we've had in the past four seasons, we scraped through for the past three and in doing so we gained several results that nobody even us fans gave us a chance in.
    There is nothing to suggest we cannot do this escape again, we are in a good run of form, and yes I know our last four draws should have included three wins, Borinis last gasp equaliser against Palace won us a point and we didn't loose two points as we were not in front at the death of that game.
    It would not surprise me if we go and beat Leicester next Sunday, there are 21 points to play for, we have experience in relegation dog fights, Norwich went down in their last relegation fight, so it's still all to play for.
    I don't have blind faith in everything Sam does but I'd rather have him than Pardew and Neal in charge of us, I haven't included Newcastle in this equation as I think they are down, and take heart in the fact that Norwich let in two yesterday and it was an unnoticed handball that won them the points, we must be due that slice of luck in the final seven games. KTF.

    So by your logic, if the mags are down we drop another two points on Nowich and we're down. May not be far wrong there like. So us vs Norwich and Norwich Vs Palace could well be the two season defining matches for us.

    Not quite Bri the reason I'm discounting Newcastle is their complete lack of form, I just cannot see them gaining seven more points than Norwich, which is asking too much for me. Have we to beat Norwich ? I'm not sure, we definitely can't afford to get beat, but with our game in hand and our past experience I just feel we will have enough to get past Norwich although it's going to be very tight, Palace v Norwich has to be a draw to keep both in the mix, there are too many ifs and buts but I 'think' we will pull it off.

    Well that's reassuring. I thought it was about 40-45 years after that.
