I reckon you need 6 wins and 7 draws to stay up. Not impossible and teams have done similar before but it doesn't look incredibly likely.
I win in 18.

Need 6 or 7 wins out of 20.

mmmmmmm…..

Even without the fact that they’ve hired a manager who’s sides can’t defend for ****, it’s virtually mission impossible given their stats.

Definitely it could change pretty quickly in January.. A couple of wins and everything would look very different, but I have to say I don't see where they'll come from right until we spend money.. We'll see but it's definitely not impossible yet

Yes but we've drawn loads.. Second half of the season will be very different.

Yeah the only recent one I can think of with such a turnaround is Leicester in 2015 and that was far later in the season too. I don't think Newcastle have one of those 8 game runs in them though.

January could make a difference but they need to be picking up points constantly from now really. Their next 4 after United are all winnable and they need 6/7+ from them as a minimum I think.

If they got that from those games combined with a good January then I think they'd have a real chance.

They're lucky the league is so poor at the minute as otherwise they'd be completely buried.

You’ve drawn 7 and lost 10.

You’ve got a GD of -23.

You're ****ing **** mate.


No doubt we're poor but there's other poor sides and we have a good amount of money to spend in January. Probably more than a relegation threatened side has ever chucked at it.

We need a couple of wins really then everything will look different. I don't see one tomorrow but I give us an outside chance vs you lot and Southampton..
 
Time for a nice cold beer.

Happy Boxing Day and may your team disappoint you less than you expect...unless you're sucky of course <cheers>

The stadium is genuinely beautiful. No queues for a beer or piss and food isn’t a complete pisstake in terms of price or quality.

Lots of empty seats.

Guessing lots ain't up for taking the risk of going to matches with covid.
I really miss going to games but the idea of crowded transport makes it a "**** that" idea for me.
*sigh*

Ain't knocking those who go btw...wish I felt differently tbh

I chose not to go to the theatre last week, because I didn't want to sit cheek by jowl with 1000 other people, so the idea of going to a stadium with 50k others there is not something I would do either atm

Good chance of a win coming up against us. If they can’t win that then they deserve to go down.
 
Mrs just asked me to take her to work in the morning so that's the lie in buggered up.

Oh well, wouldn't have been very christmassy of me to say noooo way.

Wrap the car in Tinsel tonight and tell her your going to dress as an Elf for a special Sleigh ride to work

She'll get the train instead and you can have a lie in <ok>
