Spurs, Wolves, Leicester all winnable too if we play like we did in the first half yesterday I forgot we have the Everton and Southampton games to rearrange too. That makes 7 games that are definitely winnable. Grind out a couple of draws too and we will end up mid table 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea where that comes from. I've seen him talk about the night they beat us 1 nowt after we'd played them off the park in the first half, Cantona & Schmeichel won them that game & that title... he basically said we took the roof off the place for an hour until Cantona scored...its probably that I reckon. That and his blatant honesty. A good lad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which we should absolutely piss. Anything more than that would be gravy and a momentum starter to kick on with for next season. I'm excited to see what Howe can do with a summer transfer window and a (presumably) vastly improved squad to start the season with. The future is looking pretty rosy for NUFC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets himself in bother sometimes sticking up for the wrong cause, like when he was gonna go on strike and end his England career in defence of Ferdinand who had missed a drugs test. Ferguson had to talk him down from that one. But I do admire the fact that he's clearly a bloke with a very firm idea of right and wrong and can't abide seeing people get away with shitty behaviour. The interview he did with Scudamore post the ESL breakaway attempt is good. He's clearly fucking livid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of Rio Ferdinand's award winning 'prank' show where Neville was given the option of six points on his license and his car impounded or taking a picture with a cop and he told the cop he'd rather have the points. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're only 3 points ahead of us and have played two more games. We win that and it sucks them right into it and pretty much secures our survival. We honestly need to go into this match pushing our massive bollocks onto the pitch in a wheelbarrow, Buster Gonad style and ask them what are they going to do about these, then? 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6682 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Ferguson was always the type of character who spoke ill of those he saw as a threat. I'm sure I've seen an interview with him where he talks of the respect he has for our club, our city and our fans. A lot of it stems from the relationship he had with Sir Bobby - he never forgot the help Bobby gave him when he was going to Europe with Aberdeen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30616 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I'd like to know how a team that has just won three on the trot is predicted to only pick up 14 more points over the rest of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17274 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 We stand a better chance of staying up than Leeds and Brentford ffs...if we beat the Bees a week Saturday then its difficult to see them finishing above us..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44887 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Aye I don't understand that, and I don't understand how they've got Burnley finishing only two points below us. Quite honestly they can munch me jaffas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10857 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 538 rely too much on historical patterns repeating. There are too many unknowns with NUFC to say we've a 38% of going down; When Wilson will be back, when Trippier will be back, what impact Burn will have on our defence, or Targett and, of course, what the impact Bruno will have. It doesn't go forensic enough, for me. They don't account for the impact of motivation that opponents have. Or favoured opposition. (You'd pick Everton over Newcastle most of the time, if you had no idea how rattled Pickford gets). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 That said, we don't know yet either - we had 3 home wins in a row against lower table opponents, our star signing is out for weeks, and the teams below us don't quite look dead and buried to me. If you look at our fixtures for the rest of the season, I reckon they're thinking something like this (0=loss, 1=draw, 3=win): 1 - Everton (A) - rescheduled 0 - Southampton (A) - rescheduled 0 - WHam (A) 1 - Brentford (A) 3 - Brighton (H) 0 - Chelsea (A) 3 - Palace (H) 0 - Spurs (A) 1 - Wolves (H) 1 - Leicester (H) 1 - Norwich (A) 0 - Liverpool (H) 0 - City (A) 1 - Arsenal (H) 3 - Burnley (A) (comes to 15 pts but still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
