trophyshy 7084 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Viewing RTG, their bile toward us is so overflowing I fear relegation might give them oesophageal cancer. The hatred on there is unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_cheshire_toon 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I know that some people on here are nervious about the situation and seeing where the points are to come from, but it for the teams below to gain the points, and from looking at Wigan's and Sunderland's fixtures, i would find it hard to see either of them getting more points than us. It may be down to the QPR game, and that's late, but i can see it being over (as in staying up) before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Think we only need another 2 points. Piece of piss. Be nice to get the 3 points that make us safe off the mackems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Wigan and Villa both in decent form. Might need more that 2points, as you see how quickly a team can string a few wins together even if they look dead and buried. Southampton with 3 on the bounce and they look comfortable.

Tom 14013 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Do people want SAFC to go down? It's funny if they do but I hate a season with no derby. Of course I want them to go down - but not more than I want Newcastle to succeed. Mackems can't say the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'd be happy with any three from the makems, QPR, Villa, Wigan and Stoke tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21978 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Aye, all teams of shithouses. Want SAFC to cop it most though. But if they do, I don't expect the same scenes at SJP as were witnessed at the SOL a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prem form since mid Jan is P 10 W 5 L 5 That has been against a mix of teams, the only victory against top half was the Chelsea game. On that form we should pick up at least another win and with Ben Arfa, Tiote, Debuchy, Perch coming back then possibly more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe West Brom too if they've given up on the season. Fulham yesterday seemed to not really be arsed about the outcome and we have a couple of games against sides in similar positions. I can't imagine Arsenal having much to play for on the last day either, QPR could be down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bias 3 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 If it meant we won on Sunday then I'd take the rest as draws to be honest. Would love Sunderland to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I think people would genuinely miss the derby though. I assume it's the first fixtures everyone supporting either club looks for. Reading & QPR are gone. One from Villa, Stoke, Wigan or the Mackems joining them. That's a pretty good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 As much as I enjoy a derby win, I'd happily see Sunderland drop down 2 or 3 divisions and disappear from view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely spoilt for choice. Villa = comeuppance for their fans for taking the piss when we went down. Stoke = Michael Owen's second relegation. Wigan = comeuppance for McManamangate Sunderland = genuinely funny. The only way it could be bettered would be by Reading somehow escaping and sending two of the above down. Our game vs QPR could be interesting if a QPR win could push Sunderland over the edge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4820 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 you actually needed to ask that? I'm genuinely interested in people's thoughts on it. The two Derbys are my favourite games of the season. It follows that I prefer there two be derbies. Years ago when they were out of the league for a while it was shit not having the two landmark games. I'm quite genuinely surprised at some of the people who would prefer not to have those two games. I'll laugh at them if they drop, but I would rather play them again next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 14043 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I don't really like watching them anymore but agree in general with CT, that I'd miss it somewhat. Would still be funny as fuck seeing them go down having spent what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10962 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 It's similar for me, I love the derbies, especially in seasons where we're not challenging in Europe or whatever. However I'd crease up if they were to go down. I guess the way I'd say it; is that I'd be happy if they went down, but completely apathetic if they didn't. If there was a way for Stoke,Villa, QPR, Wigan and sunderland to go down, I'd take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 As footballing spectacles generally the derbies - 8 out of 10 times are utterly shit. I ike beating them but I could go without it for a couple of years - the best games normally take me by surprise - but they've been in short supply this season.

Rayvin 5294 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Given that we got relegated not long ago I think it fitting that they go through it now. It's been four years or something for them hasn't it? Surely overdue. They yo-yo back up regularly enough anyway, they'd be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In recent seasons the derbies have been poor, we scraped a point at home last year after a pretty dismal performance. We did control the 2nd half though and probably deserved a point.

Christmas Tree 4820 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Derbies are not about the games they are about the stomach churning days leading up to them, the spoils of war on the day, the euphoria or disillusionment at full time, and the feel good factor that lingers long after.
