D-Day / FFP / Allardyce's Back Door

An interesting spin on things here.
I can actually see Fat Sam telling his players to lay off the rough stuff if they really are in in with a shout of Europe.

The scrap to avoid being the team to join Burnley and Queens Park Rangers through the Premier League trap door will go down to the final game next weekend.

Hull City, Newcastle and Sunderland are the teams still at risk of filling the final relegation spot.

On paper, Hull have the most difficult task because they play a Manchester United side still fighting for third place, the automatic qualifying spot for the Champions League.

Sunderland have two bites at the cherry but have equally tough fixtures against Arsenal and champions Chelsea.

The permutations are that if Hull fail to beat Manchester United, they are down regardless of other results.

If they do secure an unlikely win over Louis van Gaal's Red Devils, they will also need favours from Sunderland's opponents Arsenal and Chelsea as well as West Ham at St James Park.

If Hull win and Newcastle don't, the Tigers will send the Magpies down thanks to a superior goal difference. However, if Hull and Newcastle both win and Sunderland lose to both Arsenal and Chelsea, then it will be Dick Advocaat's men who tumble down into the Championship.

Allardyce has the incentive of sending the club that discarded him back in 2008 down.

However, the potential for West Ham United to get into the Europa League via the FIFA Fair Play standings - the Hammers are currently the highest placed team in the Fair Play table not to have qualified for Europe through league position - could make a mockery of relegation D-Day.

That's because as much as the Hammers and their former Newcastle manager Allardyce might deny it, their players will be wary of competing too strenuously as any bookings or flare-ups would impact their backdoor route into Europe.

The Fair Play system may be deemed far from fair by Hull boss Steve Bruce and Advocaat come 5pm on Saturday.

They would have a point too, the system is being abolished next season in favour of one financial prizes to the fairest clubs.

But John Carver won't care as long as his boyhood club are still in the Premier League come the summer.

And he is leaving nothing to chance by reiterating just how big the game is for the Magpies.

He told the Guardian after the 2-1 defeat to already relegated Queens Park Rangers just how grave their predicament is.

"It’s a do or die situation," he said.

“We shot ourselves in the foot here, but this is now the biggest game this football club has had for a long, long time. One of the biggest in the club’s history."

 

The problem is ACS, our bunch of fairies won't be able to take advantage of any easing off of the rough stuff. They've been in that mode all season.

 

This!

They might as well be wearing tutus and come on to the pitch to the sound of the sugar plum fairy music.

i'm surprised Riviere hasn't been booked for simulation, bearing in mind he goes over when there us nobody within 10 yards of him.

 

Its just horrible to watch the lad, he literally ****es himself everytime he is faced with a goalscoring opportunity. It looks like his legs have given way through nervous energy. However the reality is he is doing a Radcliffe and opening his shorts to let the wet ****e out. He then rolls to clean up a bit. I was speaking to the groundsman and he was confused as they don't have a dog, but kept finding wet splats on the pitch in the box. They worked it back, checking with away teams and realised it only happened when Riviere entered the field of play.

 

Big Sam`s Back Door/?? FCUK me, there is an image and a half, as if my mind wasnt ****ed up enough, you have to bring that to conversation! I am going for a long long lie down, probably will dream about Sam`s Big Back Door. SATAN`S C**K, and BIG SAM`S BACK DOOR. JESUS, Save me Please!!! WTF, if it gets rid of ASHLEY, I`ll do em both!!!

 

While you're sucking on Satan? That is some morning you've got lined up.

 

I think you'll be fine myself. Can't see us (Hull City) getting a result.

Think there's more chance of West Ham not turning up then United. I know who i'd rather be playing.

 

Can we point if we draw and Hull win, we might not get relegated. Sunderland may get hammered off Chelsea or Arsenal. If they repeat Newcastle's results in those 2 games there goal difference would be the same as ours with us having scored more goals.

 

To put it into context, JESUS only got nailed to a effing cross and billions revere him. What do I get, Abuse!! You should all kneel down before me! Oh, hang on, it should be me doing the kneeling.!!

 

If it meant Ashley going... would you rim Fat Sam's hairy hoop? (after a curry).

 

He wouldn't be able tol with you in the way, Rimmer.

 

So it may be Newcastle's D-Day, but not Carver's it would seem. Talksh!te/Alan Brazil/Graham Courtney (I do realise credibility evaporates with these names) all claim we, "the fans", should be prepared for Carver staying in charge next season.

Forget divisions, relegations, I can take that. But the thought that Ashley would/could be SO arrogant, so petulant, as to deliberately stick the finger up at the fans by keeping JC on is beyond comprehension.

As was mentioned elsewhere, Ashley is a genius and a major proponent of exploiting the weaknesses of people (cheap tat sells, desperation of people to work, the inbuilt loyalty of fans). What doesn't quite compute is WHY he keeps making these decisions, as the only logical explanation is vindictiveness or pettiness.

 

Good point. In honour of your bravery and selflessness, a statue will be erected at the ground so that in years to come, people will remember your ultimate sacrifice and how it saved tthe club.

We will inscribe the words:
"Lord Suckdick selflessly knelt here so we could all take pride in our club."

That sound ok?

 

Is there anyone who thinks Carver won't be in charge next season?

I'm pretty certain he will be. They will spin out some line that he wasn't supported correctly but they now want to learn from previous mistakes, blah blah blah. You get the idea.

 

Are there any more straws left there for me?

 

Brazil is a fat, disgusting, alcoholic bastard and Courtney is just completely out of the ****ing loop and all round embarrassment. They know **** all.

 

Or maybe he just hates you and wants to beat you .

He's a bitter kernt.
