The Fish

Stuck with each other? Get fucked fat man, you're not stuck with anything!

and one reason why it can happen for us

Saw this and immediately thought of you

Unless it's an exponential improvement... WUH GUNNA WIN THA LEEG

Liar, you immediately went out and dropkicked a pony.

Rafa.

2nd half was much better, more so when Colback went off (and Janmaat to be fair). Looks like Janmaat will also miss the next game. We'll be playing Mbabu & Mbemba at fullbacks?

Dunno if they've the defence for that.

Oops, that's the cup They've Everton at home in the league at some point.

Agree that Swansea are safe, but look at Palace's run in; Apr 2 West Ham A Apr 9 Norwich H Apr 17 Arsenal A Apr 20 Man Utd A Apr 24 Watford H Apr 30 Newcastle A May 7 Stoke H May 15 Southampton A Where's the wins coming from? Norwich? Us?

Stop it man, you care. You're devastated they didn't join in with an applause we're all done with anyway. I can hear you sobbing into your protest bedsheet on your way to tell all the mackems you work with that we're settling for Europa league this year, but are going to win the World Cup next next year in front of a billion screaming geordies after we've signed Ronaldo and Bale to the Geordie Nation. lead by Alan Shearer who is our next messiah Ant n Dec

Work is quiet.

Really?

It was more exasperation than whinging, but aye.

I'll admit I missed that.

Not saying we're definitely staying up, just giving the self-flagellating members of TT a bit of perspective. Rafa's had fuck all time with this team and that Derby would have been lost under Pardew, Carver, McClaren etc. We're not down yet, so rather than sitting in a dark room, drinking gin and weeping, I choose to be a little less pessimistic. Try it, you might find you like it. Or, you could stay a misery, but do so quietly?

we're 3pts behind Norwich with a game in hand. Palace are in free fall. It may become 2 from 4 by the time the next fixtures are done. Mackems aren't winning, Norwich are still in trouble, Palace are shit, Swansea aren't much better. We've got games against 4 of the bottom 6. It's too soon to be adamant we're down.

nailed it

Expecting a draw, fearing a loss. Not even hoping for a win, too nervous.

Especially if West Brom do us a favour and put a few past Norwich.

If we ignore the Mackems we have; Norwich, Swansea, Crystal Palace, & Villa which are all winnable games, there's 8points at least imo Manchester City for a cheeky point or more, especially with our game coming when it does for them; In 10 days they have: a tough league game v Pulis' WBA, Champions League Quarter Final (hopefully away), tough league game away to a resurgent Chelsea, then us at St James' when hopefully Rafa will have had time to firm up our our back line. Depending on where we are/they are Liverpool (3 days after their derby), Southampton & Spurs may be games we can earn a point or (especially if Spurs have already confirmed their final position) grab a very unlikely 3pts.

We probably need 12-14 points If my maths is right there are 19 successful combinations of results out of a possible 55 (1/3) combinations to get 14pts or more. And, say we will only manage 4 wins or less, the chances of getting 14pts are 6 from 55 (1/9). Obviously, 38pts is an arbitrary figure and we may not even need the 14pts to get to that to survive.

Look at you, with your reason!
