JawD 99 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) All things being well, we may just scrape in by reaching 7th. Long shot at the moment but the teams around us have some tricky ties. Also assuming we can get the points we'd expect. Being positive, I chucked these together... Newcastle Wigan (H) 3 Sunderland (A) 3 West Brom (H) 3 Brum (A) 1 Chelsea (H) 1 Current 45 TOTAL 56 Blackburn Liverpool (H) - 0 Birmingham (A) - 1 Charlton (A) - 1 Chelsea (H) - 0 Man City (H) - 3 Current - 54 points TOTAL 59 points Bolton Chelsea (H) 0 West Brom (A) 3 Charlton (H) 3 Spurs (A) 0 Brum (H) 1 Boro (H) 3 Current 48 TOTAL 58 Wigan Newcastle (A) 0 Villa (H) 3 Fulham (A) 1 Pompy (H) 3 Arsenal (A) 0 Current 48 TOTAL 55 West Ham Man City (H) 3 Boro (A) 1 Liverpool (H) 0 West Brom (A) 3 Spurs (H) 1 Current 46 TOTAL 54 Everton Spurs (H) 1 Chelsea (H) 0 Brum (H) 3 Boro (A) 1 West Brom (H) 3 Current 45 TOTAL 53 Accurate? maybe...

MattM4 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Would typical NUFC now that everyone's on the up, feeling ambitious again, and the pressure's on... to lose v Wigan next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Very unlikely for us to make it into Europe. Would be great, seeing as we need the money but perhaps next season, depending on who will be appointed as manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Its all a bit ifs and buts, Bolton I think are the biggest threat. Or maybe ourselves. Quite possible to drop points against Wigan or down the road (as they will have had the final nail in before then). We also play West Brom and Brum who are fighting to stay up and that makes them both tricky. I've also said we'll get a point against by then champions Chelsea. If we lost then by my reconing Bolton would pip us on GD unless we can make up good ground against the likes of Sunderland and West Brom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) Personally, I'd be looking at our goal to avoid defeat till the end of the season now. We've got Wigan at home, 3 shite teams, and then a probable Chelsea team with fuck all to play for (depending on if they beat Manure at home). The only game I'm really worried out of all of them is the mackems. Haven't won a game at home in the league all season, nowt to play for, we could end up being the team they relegate. Yes, they're shite, but they'll be well up for it. Edited April 10, 2006 by sweetleftpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6700 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Almost the same predictions as I've come up with JawD. However, I've got us down as being complacent against Wigan and only coming away from that game with a point. I have us finishing the season in 9th.

JawD 99 Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Ok, due to an oversight by sky and boltons homepage (not me you see). I missed their boro game which I have them for a home win. So, Ive updated my thingy and now have us as 8th. Yeah, cheers boro. Still, Im not giving up hope yet..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22008 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Personally, I'd be looking at our goal to avoid defeat till the end of the season now. We've got Wigan at home, 3 shite teams, and then a probable Chelsea team with fuck all to play for (depending on if they beat Manure at home). The only game I'm really worried out of all of them is the mackems. Haven't won a game at home in the league all season, nowt to play for, we could end up being the team they relegate. Yes, they're shite, but they'll be well up for it. 118677[/snapback] The mackems are going to relegate us? Seventh probably isn't going to be enough for Europe anyway, is it?

Optimistic Nut 190 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) It looks like it will only be top 6 for Europe anyway.

Rob W 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I think we did - remember we get good gates (unlike the 'Boro) I have exactly the same numbers as JawD Its going to be tight but we might (just) do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
